Buddy Healthcare has partnered with the Wellbeing Services County of North Karelia. Heart Centre’s coronary artery disease patients are assigned to a digital care pathway available through mobile devices. The purpose of the patient-facing mobile application is to support and help patients adapt to life with coronary artery disease and to improve the availability of services with the help of technology.
In addition to the patient's personal information, the patient app provides information and instructions for the patient before and after the coronary angiography. Through the digital care pathway, the patient receives general information about coronary artery disease, associated risk factors, medication, as well as recommended heart-healthy diet and exercises.
Digitalised patient services aim to help patients adapt to life with coronary artery disease. The new process using our care coordination platform also seeks to improve the availability of services and increase the patients' engagement and compliance with their care.
Digitally supported patients using the patient engagement app, submit the electronic preoperative assessment forms through the app ahead of appointments, thereby reducing the care schedulers' workload.
The digital coronary artery disease care pathway aims to support the prevention of mortality from cardiovascular diseases and myocardial infarctions in the Wellbeing Services County of North Karelia region. Also, the purpose of our care coordination platform is to produce cost-effective care and evaluate the effectiveness of balloon angioplasty and care quality through various kinds of digitally-collected questionnaires and visualised statistics.
