Buddy Healthcare wants to help hospitals and healthcare professionals in the battle against the COVID-19 coronavirus. BuddyCare virtual care platform can be used for not only symptom tracking, remote monitoring and data collection purposes but also in digitizing secure communication between the individuals/patients and healthcare professionals.
How does the COVID-19 remote care solution work?
1) Hospitals assign the COVID-19 mobile app to the individuals/patients who have either mild symptoms or diagnosed infections without symptoms.
The mobile app contains the following:
- Accurate, timely information and instructions about COVID-19 published by healthcare authorities/health agencies.
- A symptom checker that allows app users to report daily symptoms. The symptom checker asks users each day if they have, for example, fewer, coughing, sore throat, or breathing problems.
- Geographical location and the app user data (gender, age, health status), which provides healthcare authorities real life data if the COVID-19 coronavirus starts spreading in certain areas or certain patient profiles.
2) Meanwhile, assigned mobile app users fill symptoms and data to their mobile app; hospitals can monitor, receive alerts, communicate with the patients, and produce reports for analysis.
The hospital monitoring dashboard contains the following functionalities:
Care personnel can monitor remotely the symptoms and well-being of at-risk individuals.- The dashboard creates alerts when the specified thresholds are exceeded and then can call the individuals/patients to the hospital.
- Secure messaging allows patients - care personnel interaction during the whole care pathway. The dashboard helps in, for example, identifying patients at-risk, and care personnel can send personalized instructions related to quarantine.
- The dashboard collects pseudonymized data of the app users for building an overview to support further analysis about symptom development in certain patient profiles or geographical areas.
