The Medical University of Vienna is employing Docobo's DOC@HOME health platform and app to remotely monitor cancer patients during their treatment. Through the app, patients can track symptoms and transfer routine data from their homes, with real-time transmission to a clinical hub. The system includes alerts for clinicians if any predetermined thresholds are surpassed, facilitating prompt intervention. This adoption follows the success of the EU project eSMART, which showcased enhanced care standards through telemedicine, involving 829 patients, including 140 from the Medical University of Vienna, between 2014 and 2019.
Dr. Simone Lubowitzki from the Medical University of Vienna highlighted the positive impact of remote monitoring on cancer patient survival, enabling quicker identification of relapses and optimisingon of all symptoms during planned patient consultations.
Moreover, the Medical University of Vienna is actively expanding the app's capabilities to cover additional diseases, marking a significant step toward personalised medicine and care. The app's efficiency not only benefits patients by providing access to evidence-based information but also streamlines data availability for clinicians, allowing them more time for direct patient care.
