Important results from the project
The result of the project is a citizen app and a clinician app based on the idea of citizen-initiated remote monitoring. Citizens obtain means to share health data from their smart watch while clinicans get presented with a user-friendly triage of these data based on different clinical areas. In this way, clinicians may serve patients that are in need of individual treatment more accurately and quickly. Five different cases are exemplified: Emergency care, Afib, axSpA, Parkinson´s, CF.
Expected long term effects
sensLab at Sahlgrenska University Hospital will continually be improved to serve the hospital. Regarding the specific prototype, evidence is required before implementation is conceivable. Therefore, follow-up projects are expected. These projects will likely be medically research-oriented with a focus on various clinical applications for smart wearable consumer products in healthcare. sensLab will develop a digital research platform to democratice and support this.
Approach and implementation
Five different clinical cases were considered based on functionalities and user experience, having one conceptual owner (clinician) per case: Emergency care, Afib, axSpA, Parkinson´s, CF. The project was conducted through five sub-goals: (1) Use cases formed, (2) Health dataset and consumer product(s) selected, (3) Sub-concepts developed, (4) Functional prototype developed, (5) Preliminary validated prototype. These goals were carried out through user-centred design led by the sensLab team.
