Theme 2: Remote Monitoring and Virtual Care Neo App Personalized support and education for parents navigating the complex journey of post-surgical recovery for NICU infants Lead: Mary Brindle . . INNOVATION STAGE Evaluation of Prototype Health Innovation Focus Mobility and Rehabilitation Population and Setting Pediatrics; NICU; Caregiver Technology and Intervention Data Modelling, Platform and Dashboard Visualization BENEFITS For Users For parents: NeoApp offers personalized guidance and support, increasing confidence and reducing anxiety. The app empowers parents with knowledge specific to their baby’s needs, helping them monitor recovery, track milestones, and recognize signs of concern without relying on generic information or internet searches. By connecting with a community of parents facing similar challenges, they feel less isolated. The clear recovery pathway and milestones NeoApp offers make the transition from hospital to home smoother, providing peace of mind. For The System NeoApp has the potential to decrease avoidable emergency visits and readmissions by providing parents with timely, reliable support at home, which could lessen the load on already overburdened NICUs and emergency departments. Additionally, by reinforcing discharge education remotely, the app can streamline in-hospital discharge processes and save time for healthcare providers. NeoApp could also improve long-term patient satisfaction and outcomes, especially in areas with limited access to specialized care, supporting a more efficient and sustainable healthcare ecosystem. Project Theme Information Current State Families transitioning their babies from the NICU to home face overwhelming challenges due to limited post-discharge support, often feeling ill-equipped to manage their baby’s needs without immediate access to healthcare professionals. There is currently a gap between the intensive care available to neonates after surgery in the hospital and the minimal support available to parent caregivers after discharge, which is very stressful for parents to navigate. While NICU discharge typically includes basic in-hospital education and printed resources, these materials can be difficult to retain, generalized rather than personalized, and are often inadequate in addressing the diverse needs and concerns of families in this high-stress period (McNeil, 2023). According to Dr. Deborah McNeil of AHS’ Maternal, Newborn, Child and Youth Strategic Clinical Network, caring for a preterm baby both in-hospital and at home “requires extensive support over time” (Alberta Health Services, 2023). In Alberta, NICUs are currently operating at 95-103% capacity, which makes it challenging for staff to allocate the necessary time to prepare each family fully for discharge (Lee, 2024). This gap in support often leads to increased parental anxiety, confusion, and even isolation, which in turn can contribute to a higher likelihood of emergency room visits after discharge. Studies indicate that comprehensive discharge support can reduce emergency visits by up to 26% (Alberta Health Services, 2023). Without effective guidance, parents may struggle with crucial health-related activities, such as feeding, tracking weight gain, or recognizing early warning signs, often resorting to non-credible sources like internet searches or informal advice that can compromise infant health (Frey et al., 2022). For rural families, who may be further isolated from specialized healthcare, this need for reliable, accessible information is even more pressing. Without support, parents may delay care due to uncertainty or seek emergency services for questions better suited to primary care (Hannan et al., 2020). In a healthcare system already stretched thin, these unnecessary visits increase costs, wait times, and healthcare provider burnout, with nearly half of all pediatric readmissions involving infants less than one year old, and costs per readmission reaching $5,087 to $11,341 USD (Hannan et al., 2020).

Theme 2: Remote Monitoring and Virtual Care Addictions Treatment Support App Designing Digital Technologies to Facilitate Self-Tracking and Support Substance Use Recovery Lead: David Hodgins Principal Investigator: Geoffrey Messier Project Coordinator: Teale Masrani INNOVATION STAGE Evaluation of Prototype Health Innovation Focus Mental Health & Addiction Population and Setting Vulnerable Adults Technology and Intervention Data Modelling, Platform and Dashboard Visualization BENEFITS For Users Enhanced Self-Awareness: By tracking daily metrics, users can become more attuned to their physical and mental states. 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.
