“Patient Centric Care”
- A small compact handheld telehealth monitor designed
for ease of use by patients and cares of all ages, in any location and
at any time
Overview
Purpose designed for home use by patients
of all ages with Long Term Conditions, the Docobo HealthHub is an innovative
European solution to the growing burden placed on health providers for
managing patients at home and in the community. Similar to a PDA and
using the principle of “store and forward”, vital signs measurements
and changes in symptoms, side effects, life style and quality of life
are securely recorded and transferred to the centre of care
Functionality
 The
integrated display and associated functional keys enable measurement,
entry and reading of information from a variety of sources. Each HealthHUB
is programmed to meet individual patient needs across a range of chronic
diseases. In accordance with clinical recommendations the HealthHUB
can be set to monitor a range of long term conditions and co-morbidities,
well-being and any combination of these. It can be easily adapted to
monitor patients that require additional monitoring over time as well
as those with other specific disease.
Built in sensors are used to record twenty second rhythm
strips of the ECG and Bio- Impedance. Dependent variables are calculated
and stored alongside physiological information derived from other optional
3rd party devices. Vital sign monitors of choice can be connected to
provide automated data transfer. In addition a wide range of quantitative
and qualitative information enabling continuous assessment of a patients
quality of life, medication and treatment compliance is collected through
the HealthHUB. The patient can track their main health parameters via
the four week trend display.
The HealthHub utilizes a “one-touch” implementation
to start the monitoring process, which is simple, fast and easy to do.
The patient is typically asked questions in the morning and the evening,
the questions being fully customizable by the clinician managing the
patient.
Feedback to the patient is via both a built-in 4 week
display and a messaging capability. The 4 week display allows patients
to monitor the main parameters such as weight, blood pressure, medication
compliance and such like, allowing them to monitor and learn about their
condition. The messaging capability enables a range of messages to be
received and displayed, these messages either being automatically generated
or sent from their medical team.
All data is fully encrypted before being store on the
device, and is managed and controlled in accordance to the European
Data Protection Directive.
