A need for a patient side results aggregator?
Do we need a common conduit/protocol/messaging system for home results? Let me explain - with the rapid adoption of video consultation and home based patients how do I receive readings from a patients medical sensors? Lets say they have an iWatch or similar - how do they send me their heart rate? their ECG? their pulse Ox? they could have digital scales, BP machine, Glucose monitor? home blood testing kits read through a smart phone, home urine tests read through a smart phone, thermometers etc. “ “ “It’s going to be pain to make users read out or email the results every time? how do I “ping” them for the results and with their permission get them in my clinical system or in an app linked to it? “ “ “how do I do this while on a video call? how do I do it if remotely monitoring them? lets say I just want to check how Ethel’s vital signs were this am? “ “ “Is there a smartphone app that sits on a patients phone and acts as a results aggregator and dispenses the results to authorised health care professionals in coded form? (either at regular intervals or on request?)” “ “#primarycare #digitalhealth #healthit #videoconsultation
