Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	LifePod	LifePod consists of a Web-based E-Health platform with two interfaces, one medical for healthcare professionals and one patient interface. LifePod is accessed via a smartphone, tablets and computers via a web application where patients enter symptom parameters and vital parameters such as breathing and mucus status, weight, activity, medication or other disease-specific values. Several different validated questionnaires are sent regularly to the patient to obtain information about the patient's mood and activity. The platform contains a chat function between healthcare professionals and patients. A unique health profile is created in which the patient self-reports their health. The patient receives direct feedback in their web application if they are within the interval given for the individual. The medical interfaces are designed so that patients are automatically placed in a priority order where the person outside the given range is given top priority.
