How Does Health Buddy Work?

A simple tool for sophisticated outcomes.
What Does the Health Buddy System Do?

The Health Buddy system connects patients in their homes to their care providers.  What sets the Health Buddy system apart is its ability not only to communicate historical patient information for patients with chronic conditions, but also to facilitate patient education and encourage medication and lifestyle compliance.

The system includes
  • Easy-to-use telemedical technologies
  • Secure clinical information databases
  • Web-based decision support tools
  • Health management programs
  • Customizable content development tools

Through increased communication, behavior modification and prevention, the Health Buddy system improves quality of care.

 

A Patient’s Support System

Each day, patients answer a series of questions about their health and wellbeing using the simple Health Buddy appliance.  The data is sent over a telephone line or Ethernet connection to a secure data center; the data is then available for review on the web-based Health Buddy Desktop.  The application is designed to quickly risk-stratify and present patient results, enabling proactive providers to intervene before a patient's condition becomes acute. Patient responses are color-coded by risk level as High (red), Moderate (yellow) and Low (green) based on symptoms, patient behaviors and self-care knowledge.
