EDUCATE YOUR PATIENTS MORE EFFICIENTLY BY DIGITIZING CARE PATHWAYS, COLLECT PATIENT REPORTED OUTCOMES AND IMPROVE SURGERY EXPERIENCES
What is BuddyCare?
BuddyCare is a care coordination and patient engagement platform for hospitals, specialized clinics and surgery centers to automate and monitor patients’ preparation and recovery activities for surgical procedures. BuddyCare helps to solve the following challenges:
- Globally even 17%* cancellation and no-show rates (* = depends on the indication)
- Hours per patient wasted on pre- and post-operative administrative communications
- Lack of simple communication channel to educate and engage surgery patients at home
- No automated follow-up processes to keep patients on track with their recovery plans
The solution provides both patients and clinics with real-time information to ensure that patients are on the procedure day ready for the operation according to all instructions. BuddyCare tracks patients’ pre- and post-operative task completion and adherence to instructions to streamline the whole care process.
BuddyCare has been co-developed in close cooperation with two Finnish University Hospitals and two leading Children’s Hospitals in the US. This has enabled us to consider specific needs and challenges hospitals and smaller clinics face.
The BuddyCare App is for patients who have a surgical operation done at a clinic. The App is used before and after surgery to receive up-to-date instructions, notifications, questionnaires and for messaging with health care professionals. The solution improves the quality of care and eases communication between the patient and care personnel.
The BuddyCare Dashboard allows care personnel to monitor in real-time patients’ preparation and recovery tasks enabling to focus on those patients who need the most attention or have special needs before and after surgery.
