Whether it's a quiz question for diabetics asking them how often they should check their blood glucose, or a gentle reminder to take their medicine, care providers can empower their patients to feel more in control and to practice better self care. Connecting to a patient's existing home telephone line, the Health Buddy appliance allows patients to view questions and reminders from their healthcare provider on a brightly lit, high contrast LCD screen. Four large buttons are all patients need to respond to queries sent to them by their healthcare provider. We've designed the Health Buddy appliance to be easy and fun to use. Patients use the Health Buddy appliance when it fits into their schedule.
Questions typically take only minutes to answer.
The appliance automatically dials a toll free number to send the day's responses and collect new information from the healthcare provider. The Health Hero Platform provides a way for patients and providers to engage in a daily two-way dialogue. Patients have a means to communicate with and receive ongoing feedback from the healthcare provider. It's the way healthcare should be.
