Improved Patient Outcomes
The app provides patients with the ability to retain a 360 degree view of their health condition and treatment and gives them full visibility over their past, present and future appointments. It also guides patients throughout their treatment, reminding them of what needs to be done next (ie. blood tests, physiotherapy, appointments, etc). The app has become a standard tool in the clinic to signpost patients to clinical services. It has also proved to be very beneficial in allowing patients to monitor their healing process throughout. After the app was launched, much in-hospital paperwork and waiting time has been eliminated and more than a quarter of patients have downloaded the app.
Given the chronicity of many of the diseases that we treat, there has been a focus on collecting behavioral data that may help us better understand how well or how poorly our patients are functioning on the many days between their office visits
