Accountability and Motivation: Visual progress tracking helps users see their achievements, fostering accountability and motivation. Structured Routine: Regular reminders for check-ins encourage consistent habits, helping users establish stability in their daily lives. Peer Support: The community feature enables connection with others, reducing isolation and providing encouragement. For The System Improved Recovery Outcomes: Structured tracking tools can support more sustainable recovery outcomes by reinforcing positive behaviors. Data-Driven Insights: The app offers valuable insights into recovery patterns, helping inform the design of future digital health tools for substance use recovery. Enhanced Treatment Support: The app serves as a supplementary resource for healthcare providers, adding structure and support outside of clinical settings. Project Theme Information Current State People in substance use recovery often benefit from tracking their journey to help maintain sobriety and stay on a positive trajectory. However, it can be challenging to keep track of cravings, mental health, triggers, and progress in one organized place. There is currently limited research on how well digital platforms can support individuals in recovery, and insights are needed to inform the design of tools that help people meet their recovery goals. Other Known Use Cases Partnerships with Xsensor and Baxter are undergoing to evaluate the impact of eHealth tools on patient outcomes. The specific focus will be on two products: 1) Xsensor’s ForeSite® Intelligent Surface, an artificial intelligence-powered continuous skin monitoring... What is the Innovation The Zamplo app is a digital platform that functions as a personal recovery journal, enabling users to track their health, recovery milestones, and personal well-being. It allows users to log goals, cravings, physical symptoms, mental health markers, and other recovery-related data. The app provides features for goal-setting, visual progress tracking, and a community space to connect with others in recovery. How it Works Zamplo users can set real-time recovery goals, perform regular “goal check-ins,” and track cravings, triggers, and coping strategies. The app includes features to monitor physical and mental health symptoms, log activities (e.g., exercise), track appointments (e.g., AA meetings), and visualize their progress through graphs. Confidentiality is maintained for all data, and a community feature connects users with others who share similar experiences. Other Known Cases: Zamplo is already used by others outside of the substance-use area. These individuals use Zamplo to stay organized and track their progression during physical or mental health crises. The purpose of Zamplo in these instances is to allow patients to collect and store all personal health data such as medication side effects, symptom progression, and other related metrics. This data can then be shared, if the user chooses, with their doctors and caretakers. This leads to one centralized location for all information relevant to a patients' health journey. Importantly, this data is controlled by the patient themselves, rather than the healthcare practitioners.

- Theme One: Bridging Community and Acute Care | Advancing eHealth Innovation to Enable Intelligent Patient Monitoring | Health Everywhere
Collaborating with Xsensor and Baxter for a monitoring mattress system to prevent pressure injuries. Click to learn more. We envision a vibrant eHealth and mHealth ecosystem, accelerating innovation, growth, and transforming healthcare through collaboration and partnerships. THEME 1: BRIDGING COMMUNITY AND ACUTE CARE Date Advancing eHealth Innovation to Enable Intelligent Patient Monitoring January 2024 Prevention of pressure injuries (PIs) is a priority for healthcare systems worldwide. Also referred to as pressure ulcers or bedsores, this condition is a skin and soft tissue injury that forms because of constant or prolonged pressure on the skin, typically occurring at bony areas on the body. Most prevalent in healthcare settings where the patient is unable to move frequently enough to relieve the pressure, PIs are painful for the patient and can lead to a deterioration in health, increased hospital stays, and even death. To address this issue, W21C partnered with XSENSOR Technology Corporation, a Calgary-based company that designs, manufactures, and sells advanced pressure-imaging systems for use in medical environments worldwide. With support from W21C’s research team, this led to the creation of a novel pressure sensing device - the ForeSite PT™ System. In late 2007, an opportunity arose for W21C to partner with XSENSOR in the development and testing of a health innovation. The main objectives of this initiative were to better understand the potential of innovative technology to support healthcare providers in caring for patients at risk of pressure injuries. W21C’s initial role was to collect and analyze focus group feedback from physicians, nurses, nursing assistants, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and pressure mapping experts. Over time this progressed to usability testing of a protype device in a simulated Intensive Care Unit. Each phase of W21C research was followed by a design cycle at XSENSOR that consisted of research on every aspect of the system, including overall architecture, transducer design, sensing electronics, software, mechanical design, and packaging. Through funding provided by Alberta Innovates ‘Accelerating Innovations into Care’ program, XSENSOR once again, approached W21C in 2023 to support the evaluation and impact on workflow of an updated system (referred to as ForeSite IS) in acute and long-term care, and to evaluate the device’s ability to predict skin breakdown of patients at elevated risk of PIs. This study is currently under way at Foothills Medical Centre and throughout several long-term care sites in the Calgary area.

We envision a vibrant eHealth and mHealth ecosystem, accelerating innovation, growth, and transforming healthcare through collaboration and partnerships. Enhancing Recovery After Surgery THEME 2: REMOTE MONITORING AND VIRTUAL CARE Date Alex Baron | January 2024 As we age it can take longer for our bodies to heal from trauma. As many as 40% of patients that undergo surgery will have major complications that lead to long-term health problems, such as heart disease or stroke. This is especially true for adults over the age of 65 following a major surgery, with many experiencing difficulties in returning to their pre-operation levels of function. Led by Dr. Duminda Wijeysundera, MD, at the University of Toronto, the Functional Improvement Trajectories After Surgery (FIT After Surgery) study aims to gain a better understanding of how often and why some patients experience significant disability after surgery. As one of 14 study sites across Canada, W21C is currently working with the Calgary site lead, Dr. Melinda Davis, MD, director of Master Teaching Program, clinical associate professor, Cumming School of Medicine, on recruitment efforts at the Foothills Medical Centre, actively engaging with patients prior to their surgery. Patient recruitment for the Calgary site began in July 2021 and is ongoing. Researchers are excited about the possibilities this work could reveal, especially as Canada’s population continues to age and the likelihood of more seniors needing major surgery every year is increasing. Having a better understanding of when and why patients experience disability after surgery will enable patients to make better-informed decisions about having surgery and allow physicians to identify patients that may need additional support following surgery. Overall recruitment and follow up for the study is expected to finish in 2023, with preliminary results anticipated in early 2024. By capitalizing on W21C's capabilities in eHealth and mHealth technologies, fostering collaboration, and actively engaging communities, the Health Everywhere Hub is poised to play a pivotal role in improving seniors' recovery experiences post-major surgeries.
