Mobile Assistant for a Patient with LVAD
An innovative solution dedicated to patients with LVAD implanted pump that allows long-term remote monitoring of pump parameters and selected medical parameters.
Mobile Assistant for a Patient with LVAD enables:
- Long-term remote monitoring of the health status of patients with LVAD.
- Surveillance of patients with heart failure.
- Implementation of a dedicated medical process, with the possibility of making the process dependent on individual measurement results (alarms, thresholds).
- Remote monitoring of pump parameters without patient intervention. Real-time pump parameter reporting - notify the patient and the control centre of LVAD alarms and malfunctions.
- Autonomous monitoring process to optimize patient care.
This reduces the patient’s dependence on the specialist treatment in a medical centre and the patient can return to home life.
Thanks to modern technology, the monitoring process is carried out:
In real time
Without patient present
- Large, easy-to-read touch display
- Voice prompts, alarms, and animations that guide the patient through each step of the process
- A calendar of medicines that provides personalized pharmacotherapy
- Follow-up to remind you to take medication, train and follow-up
- Wi-Fi, GSM and Bluetooth modules
- Collection of medical data from external devices: ECG, pressure, INR, temperature, LVAD pump
- Automatic data exchange with the surveillance centre
- Real-time, two-way communication between the patient and staff
The above-mentioned solutions in the Mobile Assistant of the Patient allow optimization of the patient care process, while reducing costs and improving the use of medical staff who can deal with more patients. A patient who can leave the hospital frees up a place for more ill people who need hospital care.
The Mobile Assistant through on-screen animation, voice prompts, and haptic alerts allow you to guide the patient through the medical process step by step. The ECG module also allows cardiac rehabilitation of LVAD patients, in line with the latest ESC recommendations. This allows for a significant reduction in their mortality.
Thanks to the use of the Mobile Assistant for a Patient with LVAD, you can improve the quality and safety of patient care while optimizing staff performance – allowing you to increase the number of LVAD pump implantation procedures.
