Obesity Surgery
Obesity surgery, (Bariatric surgery) includes a variety of procedures performed on people who have obesity. Weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through the removal of a portion of the stomach or by resecting and re-routing the small intestine to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery).
Bariatric surgery process is very demanding for a patient, both physically and mentally. The surgery decision requires a multidisciplinary decision in the hospital and the criteria for the surgery is very high. Care process is very extensive, there are several pre- and post-surgery visits for the patient and they need to be motivated and committed to their care process to have the best outcome.
Read from our news: Buddy Healthcare has released the Posita App for patients going through an obesity treatment in cooperation with UKSH (Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein) in Germany.
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.
