Healthcare researchers wanted to know if outcomes would be improved for chronic disease patients if they could connect with healthcare professionals online, and have their symptoms and lifestyle metrics monitored. In addition, the BC Cancer Society wanted to conduct research into the effectiveness of providing resources and goal-tracking features for cancer patients. My Health Connect provided a secure and powerful software platform that made these investigations possible.
Symptoms and Lifestyle
Using My Health Connect, patients reported on symptoms and lifestyle at regular intervals. Information was processed and analyzed, with the results directed to appropriate members of a multidisciplinary healthcare team.
Professional Support
Nurses and other healthcare professionals were able to monitor all aspects of patients' ongoing care, make adjustments to reporting parameters, and respond quickly to alert conditions.
Comprehensive visualization allowed healthcare professionals and the patients themselves to monitor progress of key metrics over time.
Goal Setting
With the oncology module, patients were able to set goals with guidance, track their progress and compliance, and self-evaluate.
