  • Theme Two: Remote Monitoring and Virtual Care | Improving Specialist Access Programs | Health Everywhere

    Leveraging new technologies and workflows to provide rural and remote patients access to specialized rehabilitation and musculoskeletal assessments. 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.

Project Theme Information Current State OVERVIEW Patients and physicians face challenges in addressing non-physiological factors impacting cardiovascular health—such as mental health, social support, and medication affordability—within the limited time of an appointment. This often results in a narrow focus on immediate physiological symptoms, leaving other important aspects of health unaddressed. What Is The Innovation OVERVIEW NeoApp is an innovative digital health solution, grounded in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles, created to guide parents through the complex journey of post-surgical recovery for NICU infants. It is the first ERAS-focused platform designed for neonatal populations and their parents at home, providing personalized support and education tailored to each baby’s surgical background, development stage, and ongoing health needs. INTENDED USERS Physicians using the APPROACH ePROM report for efficient patient assessments. Patients completing the APPROACH ePROM survey prior to appointments. Researchers gathering Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) data through the APPROACH registry for cardiovascular disease. How It Works OVERVIEW Before an appointment, patients complete a survey that includes mental health, social support, and self-care information, using validated instruments. This data is then used to generate a report for physicians, which flags significant changes and provides actionable insights. Physicians can review the report prior to or during appointments, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the patient’s health beyond immediate symptoms.
