Horsens på forkant

Posted on oktober 6, 2016 - Author Kenneth Thorman - Categories News

The project ”Horsens Up Front” is a cross-sectoral development- and research project. Its focus is to look into future treatment and communication solutions with chronic patients in the municipality. It is intended that the project will lead to the development of tomorrow’s telemedicine solutions. Horsens call this “sundhedshotspottet” that will be developed based on the needs of the users.

The cross-sectoral tool is intended to empower the patients in their own disease and to encourage a closer cooperation between the stakeholders in the healthcare system.

The Project expectations:

Fewer admissions to hospitals by having an increased focus on early disease detection and by empowering patients

Greater flexibility in the treatment of citizens

Greater collaboration and knowledge sharing across sector

Greater discretion when an individual can cope with a visit by “sundhedshotspottet”

Involvement of relatives so that they can better support in the course of a disease

More healthcare resources to other citizens through less transportation.

All chronic patients use Appinux to measure vital parameters and to video chat with nurses.

Appinux delivers in cooperation with Next Step Citizen and Falck.
