eCareCoordinator supports population health management by providing clinicians with a daily review of each of their patients, allowing them to prioritize patients and adjust care plans or intervene as needed. The application gives clinicians real-time access to both objective health data – like vital signs, blood pressure and weight – as well as subjective responses collected via health questionnaires and other communication with the care team about the patient’s status.
The eCareCompanion application serves as the patient portal, driving patient engagement and self-management. The personalized application is accessed via a tablet, and allows patients to answer questions about their health and enter measurements to stay connected with their care teams. Its ability to connect with medical devices, such as a home scale, oximeter, blood pressure meter and medicine dispenser, enables a deeper insight into one’s health. The application also proactively reminds them of pre-assigned health tasks, like taking medications, to encourage adherence and better outcomes.
Care providers at Radboud university medical center in Nijmegen, Netherlands, were looking for a way to better manage care for their patients with chronic conditions, and saw potential in the growth of mobile devices and wireless technology. Teaming up with Radboud, we developed a prototype solution for continuously monitoring COPD patients, including at home. The solution collects patient vital signs from a wearable sensor as well as feedback the patient enters directly into the eCareCompanion mobile application. The information is tracked and compiled in the HealthSuite digital cloud. Care providers can monitor a patient’s condition while they are home and make adjustments in care as needed. Meanwhile, the patient has access to the same data, giving them greater insight into their own condition.

Between doctor visits, the patient’s health measurements are captured by the sensor and tracked by the app.
Patients can easily share their data with specialists and family, so everyone involved in their care has a complete picture of their condition.
