Buddy Healthcare powered Mobiiliapuri App has been selected as a finalist in the Suomidigi competition.
We are excited to announce that Satasairaala Mobiiliapuri (Satakunta Central Hospital Mobile Helper) is one of the finalists in the Suomidigi Suunnannäyttäjät competition. The contest aims to reward outstanding digital innovations in the Finnish public sector.
Satakunta Central Hospital and Buddy Healthcare collaboration
Satakunta Central Hospital launched its Buddy Healthcare-powered white-label mobile application, Satasairaala Mobiiliapuri, at the beginning of 2020. The hospital has been taking a big step towards care coordination automation and digitized patient communication and support, digitizing several different medical specialties in a short time.
The Satasairaala Mobile helper app and platform now support the following care units.
- Ear, nose and throat surgeries (ENT)
- Gastrointestinal surgeries, including obesity surgery
- Orthopedic surgeries
- Pediatric surgeries
- Vascular surgeries
- Plastic surgeries
- Urology (surgeries)
- Physiatry clinic
Satakunta Central Hospital extended its digital patient support services again, and the physiatry pain clinic’s patients started using the App and the Platform in May. Patients receive all information, appointment info, tasks, and appointment reminders via the app, and they will have a chance to fill out all extensive questionnaires related to their care.
The Satakunta Central Hospital's care personnel also benefit from the care coordination platform.
The Satasairaala Mobile Helper mobile app not only supports the various patient groups, but the platform has also helped the care personnel in their daily work. The care teams across multiple care units use the BuddyCare dashboard to monitor patients, collect data, produce reports, and interact with patients digitally throughout the care process.
Satakunta Central Hospital’s System Specialist Sara Varis concluded,
"Satasairaala Mobile helper App and Platform is something new and exciting in Satakunta Hospital District. Both the patients and care personnel are very enthusiastic about it. The collaboration with Buddy Healthcare has been going very well.”
We at Buddy Healthcare are proud to support Satakunta Central Hospital in this significant step towards healthcare digitization and offering digital care pathways to today’s patients.
