At Innovation Sprint, we believe in empowering patients by providing Healthentia, the patient companion app they need to effectively manage their condition at home. Healthentia is designed for chronic disease management, offering a personalized approach to each patient. By collecting data on daily habits, physical activity, and health metrics, Healthentia offers customized support and advice that aligns with the patient’s health goals and current state. For more information about the intended use of the device and the medical modules, please consult: https://healthentia.com/medical-device/.
For type 2 diabetes patients, effective management is key to preventing serious complications like heart disease and nerve damage. While healthcare professionals are essential, most daily care happens at home, requiring regular monitoring, a balanced diet, physical activity, and adherence to treatments. Many patients find this challenging, especially without personalized guidance.
In our ongoing research study with type 2 diabetes patients, we are taking this a step further. By gathering detailed data, we can provide personalized recommendations that evolve alongside the patient. For instance, if a patient’s activity level drops or they struggle with diet management, Healthentia can recognize these patterns and suggest targeted interventions that encourage gradual improvements. This constant, personalized feedback loop helps patients feel supported and more capable of taking control of their health.
On this World Diabetes Day, let’s acknowledge not only the challenges but also the strides being made in digital health to enhance self-management for millions of people worldwide. With solutions like Healthentia, we’re creating a future where living with diabetes doesn’t have to be so daunting.
“In our new study with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients in the University of Thessaly we are integrating Healthentia, a digital health solution, to evaluate how digital health tools can enhance traditional healthcare. The patients thus far responded positively, embracing the mobile app for their support at home, while the healthcare professionals benefit from the web portal, which provides real-time data monitoring and insight into the tailored advice each patient receives.”
