Digital Care Revolution: PatientsForce Companion - Reshaping the Central Model of Continuous Care for Cardiovascular Patients

In the rehabilitation process of patients, continuous care and monitoring have been proven to reduce the probability of patients being readmitted.

With the advancement of technology, the use of health wearables facilitates the provision of new medical technology and acts as a pivot between medical facilities. PatientsForce Companion, as the operator of this model, is dedicated to integrating this technology into the ongoing care of cardiovascular disease patients after discharge, aiming to enhance the quality of post-discharge care and reduce the risk of readmission.

According to recent studies published in international journals, the daily activity level of patients post-surgery, particularly the reduction in walking distance, is closely associated with readmission rates. Monitoring patients' daily step counts using accelerometer activity trackers can effectively predict their risk of readmission. Specifically, patients who experience a reduction in daily step counts of over 50% from the previous day exhibit a predictive accuracy of 79% sensitivity and 90% specificity for readmission. This finding underscores the importance of monitoring patients' daily activity levels in post-discharge care.

Furthermore, validated consumer-grade health trackers like Garmin wristbands have demonstrated high accuracy and reliability in monitoring heart rates, showing strong correlations and consistency with clinical standards (ECG), with a relative error of less than 5%. This indicates that these devices can serve as effective tools for monitoring the heart rates of cardiovascular disease patients, providing a basis for early detection of potential health issues.

The model adopted by PatientsForce Companion integrates these technologies into a digital care platform, providing patients with personalized rehabilitation plans and lifestyle recommendations by analyzing data collected from health wearables. This personalized care not only enhances the efficiency of patient recovery but also boosts their confidence. Additionally, remote care services enable patients to receive professional medical care and support even at home. Through the LINE@ messaging app, patients can easily consult with experts, significantly reducing the risks associated with communication barriers and enhancing patient security and satisfaction.

This business model not only promotes the application of emerging digital healthcare technologies but also serves as a pivotal service in patient care and medical services. Through the PatientsForce Companion platform, digital healthcare technology seamlessly integrates with traditional healthcare systems, offering a data-driven, personalized care solution. This not only provides cardiovascular patients with more personalized and flexible care options but also equips medical professionals with powerful tools to improve treatment quality. In this model, medical decisions become more data-driven and precise, utilizing big data and AI technology to analyze patient health data, predict disease risks, and formulate more effective prevention and care plans. This data-driven approach not only provides a solid scientific basis for long-term health management of cardiovascular disease patients but also reduces healthcare resource wastage.
