Described as ‘a social platform for healthcare’, Health Fabric uses the digital technology that we use in many of our daily activities such as banking, shopping, keeping up with social/business/worldly affairs which can all be accessed with mobile and tablet devices.
Health and wellbeing is a key aspect of many people’s lives. With fast paced and busy lifestyles becoming the norm, maintaining and keeping track of our health, especially for those who are sufferers of long term health conditions is becoming much harder. Health Fabric aims to achieve a patient-centric application to enable users to access their medical records with a view to supporting self-care.
The product aims to promote self-empowerment and choice for patients who have either one, or multiple, long-term conditions through an integrated care approach, supporting the user to be more independent and in control of their condition(s). The system provides patients access to their medical records whilst also enabling family, friends, carers and clinicians to work in a coordinated way to create better health and social outcomes. The information stays with the user, allowing them to drive the behaviour and care around their own personal needs, values and goals.
