Up to 30% of patients develop some form of postoperative complication leading to significant impact on patients, clinical teams and providers. Having major surgery is like running a marathon, so we need to support patients to prepare for surgery to get the best outcomes. Optimising nutrition, physical fitness and psychological preparedness have been shown to improve outcomes and reduce complication rates.
For example, if Symptonet detects a patient is using their rescue inhaler more than expected, they're given further advice on how to manage their symptoms. Symptonet powers annual reviews, health checks, sends reminders, understands triggers and tracks symptoms to build a truly personalised care system. Symptonet is a revolution in patient self-management.
