Swedish newspaper Digital hälsa: They will take remote patient monitoring to a new level in healthcare
The Swedish newspaper Digital hälsa writes about Platform24’s Vinnova-funded project together with Sahlgrenska, Region Skåne and RISE. The article consists of an interview with Helen Sjöland, Professor of Cardiology at Sahlgrenska University, and Johannes Kriisa, physician and Platform24’s product director for clinical products.
“When Sahlgrenska University Hospital uses AI in the treatment of heart failure, the health technology company Platform24 has been commissioned to develop self-monitoring. It will be easier to follow the health situation remotely.”
“Home care can also reduce the risk of falls, infections and confusion, especially in older people. The desire to be cared for at home is also stronger if the care where the patient is hospitalized cannot offer any curative or rescue measures”, says Helen Sjöland
“This collaboration allows us to do more advanced processing of the data we collect. Self-monitoring provides greater peace of mind for the patient and a better basis for decision-making for healthcare professionals”, says Johannes Kriisa.
