Digital NCD Care Pathway
The Digital NCD Care Pathway is an evidence-based program designed to support professionals in charge of managed care processes for multiple chronic conditions through a single streamlined approach. This will include personal combinations based on patient diagnosis and risk factors for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and cardiovascular disease management.
How does the program work?
The Digital Chronic Care process begins when a healthcare provider refers a suitable patient to the platform. Important clinical information can be entered manually or accessed directly through integration with medical records. This data and patient information are used to customise the program for their individual needs.
Each patient receives support from your own appointed digital care master—usually a nurse or trained healthcare professional. The treatment typically lasts two to four months, with the option for ongoing support based on patient needs.
The program offers a mix of lifestyle modification activities, cognitive-behavioural therapy tasks, and tracking of vital signs and medications (if necessary). Patients receive valuable educational resources, including practical tips and actionable tasks for managing their condition. They complete these activities independently using the HealthFOX app, which boosts their engagement and sense of control over their health, while you as the healthcare professional remains in charge of the patient’s care journey.
A Step-by-Step Approach
The therapy is structured as a step-by-step process, gradually introducing new information and tasks to support lasting change. The system also helps with reminders for doctor’s visits and blood or other laboratory tests, ensuring adherence to care protocols and allowing healthcare providers to monitor patient progress effectively.
The Role of Healthcare Providers
Healthcare providers play a vital role in the success of Digital Chronic Care by:
- Monitoring Progress: Providers can access reports on patient activities, clinical values, and adherence to the therapy.
- Offering Guidance: By regularly reviewing tracked data and progress, providers can support patients in navigating their healthcare journey.
- Coordinating Care: Detailed feedback and tracking reports help providers make informed decisions about medications and treatment plans.
Personal Care
Patients have direct chat access to their digital care master for personalised feedback, and healthcare providers receive comprehensive reports to evaluate patient outcomes. This enables them to identify areas needing further intervention and support the long-term management of chronic diseases.
By incorporating Digital Therapeutics into your practice, you empower patients with the tools to manage their disease more effectively while ensuring that healthcare providers can monitor their progress through secure data sharing. This approach helps everyone stay informed and connected in managing chronic diseases.
Partnership and collaboration with the HealthFOX team is easy and efficient.
