Improved Self-Management: Empowers patients to take control of their medication management, reducing the need to rely on healthcare providers for guidance during minor illnesses. Prevention of Hospital Visits: Clear instructions reduce the likelihood of complications that may otherwise lead to emergency department visits or hospitalizations. For The System Reduced Emergency Visits: By providing patients with accessible guidance, the app helps prevent avoidable ER visits due to improper medication use. Support for Health Innovation and Evaluation: Integrated decision-support features and mechanisms for pragmatic trials (e.g., e-recruitment, randomization) enable ongoing evaluation and refinement of the app in collaboration with Connect Care and AHS Research Services. Enhanced Chronic Disease Management: By empowering patients to manage medications more effectively, the app supports better long-term health outcomes, reducing strain on healthcare resources. Project Theme Information Current State Many patients are unsure of when to pause or restart their medications during illness, potentially leading to harmful complications such as dehydration, kidney damage, or fainting-related falls. Existing resources often provide general information that may not be relevant to individual needs, leaving patients without specific, personalized guidance during acute illness episodes. 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 Pause app is a digital tool designed to help patients manage their medications safely during times of illness. By providing personalized, symptom-based guidance, the app instructs users on when to temporarily stop or restart medications, helping to prevent complications and suggesting when to seek medical advice. How it Works Family physicians introduce the app to patients when they are prescribed new medications, ensuring patients have access to a personalized resource if they become ill. Pharmacists can further support patients by discussing medication management during sickness and encouraging the use of the app. The app provides symptom-based instructions on medication management, along with alerts to seek medical care if needed.
