Side effects of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other cancer treatments that go unreported or are not promptly acted upon can delay treatment adjustment, impact the patient’s quality of life and cause patients to stop taking their medications.
Proactively reaching out to patients between visits is ineffective and creates a significant workload for already overworked healthcare staff. Treatable symptoms, side effects, and other concerning trends are often missed, resulting in preventable adverse events and suboptimal care. Certain aspects of remote oncology patient care management can be automated. Clinical workflows are recreated in the system to significantly reduce the number of times human intervention is needed, saving care teams time while still providing patients with personalized care plans.
Based on rules defined by the care team, Datos Health’s patient experience app engages patients, prompts them to report possible symptoms and side effects, and the system scores these Patient Reported Outcomes (PROMS)-for example using CTCAE-allowing the app to perform rules-based triage to identify patients who require an intervention. Patients benefit from better managed symptoms and side effects, leading to advanced patient engagement.
Identification of patients who require no immediate intervention, automated recommendations for managing less severe symptoms and side effects and care team alerts when necessary, combine to relieve care teams of a substantial amount of work and allow them to focus on those patients who most urgently need their attention.
Cancer patients on a Datos Health automated care plan are more engaged and activated. They are reminded to take their medications and have better managed medication side effects, all leading to reduced anxiety, better quality of life, increased adherence to treatment protocols and overall improved outcomes.
Developed to meet the needs of both patients and providers, Datos Health pairs powerful data analytics and automation with a platform designed for ease of use.
Our platform automatically cleanses, validates, and tags patient data to preserve staff hours. Clinicians easily see data trends and receive alerts on changes in a patients’ health so they can quickly intervene and prevent adverse events.
Unlike some RPM solutions, Datos Health can integrate with any connected device to collect the necessary patient generated health data. Patients can use devices they already own and wear (such as a smartwatch), helping to improve compliance.
Our software recreates the steps in a care teams’ clinical workflow. Datos Health then performs tasks following a decision tree and alerts the care team when necessary. Patients are guided through at-home care for their symptoms or directed to visit the ED.
Our Patient Experience app was designed to be easy for any patient to use, which is crucial for patient engagement. The Design Studio also features a user-friendly drag and drop interface, enabling care teams to quickly personalize treatment plans.
