Feeling safe after leaving the hospital
In the hospital, you as a patient have a knowledgeable safety net of healthcare professionals. Back at home after treatment, many can feel unsafe and lack support. Digital home monitoring can fill this gap and improve your quality of life.
Presenation of current results from the research project eHealth @ Hospital-2-Home with professor Anne Marie Lunde Husebø and PhD student Hege Bjøkne Wathne at the University of Stavanger.
The project compares a group of patients with heart failure and bowel cancer who receive digital home follow-up from the hospital with a control group. What these diseases have in common is a need for self-care support and increased knowledge about the disease and treatment. The project examines communication between the hospital and the patient, as well as how digital home follow-up can help to improve the patient's quality of life and reduce re-admissions to hospital.
