Digital Healthcare Solutions Provider In Efforts To Improve Outcomes After Major Surgery health circuit piloted an individualized rehabilitation program in a European tertiary hospital.In this program, the Health Circuit prefabricated Utilizing a digital health application that prescribes exercise and a Garmin vívosmart® 4 fitness tracker that collects activity data, it aims to combine medical support with patient self-management to reduce postoperative complications.

Improving preoperative conditioning has been shown to reduce costs, reduce perioperative complications, and improve patient health and quality of life.1 of EIT Health Support PAPRIKA Project (2019-2021) — co-founded with the European Union — tested the use of prefabricated applications to prepare patients for elective surgery and provide follow-up as a way to improve surgical outcomes, including: did.
- Reduce postoperative complications by up to 50%
- Average cost savings of 37%
- reduce the need for reintervention1
- Shorter hospital stays and ICU stays1
A medical professional prescribed daily physical activity, and study participants used the Prehab app on their vívosmart 4 to report their daily steps and minutes of moderate/vigorous physical activity.2.garmin health Standard SDK Used to get daily data by connecting directly from the Prehab app to the vívosmart 4, allowing for a single app experience. This is especially important in this situation where access is required by both healthcare professionals and patients.
Digitally enabled health solutions
Based on the results of the PAPRIKA project, the health circuit started commercialization of an individualized rehabilitation program. surge fit™ helps enhance patient functional status to improve perioperative outcomes. The sleep and stress tracking features of Garmin wearable devices are used to complement current activity tracking. The solution will be continuously tested and refined in conjunction with the Garmin vívosmart 4 as part of a feasibility study at Mannheim University Hospital in Germany in the first half of 2023.
