Patients bring a unique and powerful perspective to their health that, if harnessed, could improve their health outcomes, lower healthcare costs, and ultimately, save lives. The Patient Toolkit captures this perspective by tracking their feelings, symptom severity, appointments, and medications on a daily basis over time. This empowers patients and their healthcare team to make better informed decisions, outside and inside the clinical setting.
This easy-to-use Patient Toolkit will demonstrate how mobile information technology can be used to empower patients with chronic conditions to more effectively manage their illnesses and to engage in successful partnerships with their care teams. The toolkit includes simple, easy-to-use interfaces built upon patient-centered, daily workflows to maximize patients’ engagement and help them develop habits that improve their health outcomes.
At HIMSS2018, MITRE's Kristina Sheridan, along with her daughter/co-presenter, Kate Sheridan, shared the real-life story of the inspiration of Patient Toolkit and its ability to empower patients and their care-givers. Their story was also captured in Inspire, which highlights the importance of connecting the patient and the caregiver.
