Digital app, home monitoring care
As part of a feasibility analysis, the medical staff of the clinic will monitor participating patients with pneumonia using Luscii's software as a Medical Device (SaMD) in the pilot project. This innovative remote monitoring in healthcare will be scientifically evaluated by UME during the twelve-month pilot phase. If the evaluation is successful, the use will be planned for other diseases as well.
Higher Patient Benefit Thanks to Digitally Supported Home Care
The fundamental benefit of telemonitoring in patient care is being investigated. The digital extension of care aims to facilitate a quicker return to the familiar home environment. Visits to the clinic outpatient department and unnecessary emergency room visits are also expected to decrease.
In the pilot project, participating patients receive the Luscii app to input data within a structured treatment path for pneumonia. The data includes symptoms, vital signs, and specific questionnaires. The medical staff monitors patients using the clinical engine of the Luscii platform, enabling targeted support and interaction.
A Milestone for Luscii's Entry into the German Market
"Essen University Hospital sees digitization as a unique opportunity to shape the hospital of the future—with a clear focus on people as patients and employees. Luscii provides ideal support for this," comments Prof. Dr. med. Jochen A. Werner, Medical Director, and CEO of Essen University Hospital, on the collaboration. Prof. Dr. med. Oliver Witzke adds, "Pneumonias continue to pose a significant health problem. The emergence of remote monitoring instruments offers a promising opportunity to optimize patient care in infectious diseases."
For Luscii, the collaboration with UME represents a crucial milestone for entering the German market. "Luscii has proven itself in the everyday care of clinicians and patients for over a decade. We are confident that we can now demonstrate the great benefits of Luscii in Germany," comments Prof. Dr. Daan Dohmen, Founder of Luscii and expert in Digital Transformation in Healthcare.
