Challenge
Like the other health organisations, the ASL of Foggia was called upon to simultaneously deal with the Covid-19 health emergency while also guaranteeing support for patients suffering from other pathologies.
Approach
In a very short time, the 'Diomede' project, which was set up to digitise the care of specific chronic conditions (e.g. heart failure, diabetes, hypertension) and their remote assistance, has been expanded and reconfigured to meet the need to monitor Covid-19 patients, optimising available resources and limiting physical access to healthcare facilities.
Engineering deployed solutions belonging to the proprietary ellipse platform and its domain expertise in healthcare processes. This, together with the contribution of other partner companies, made it possible to create a Telemonitoring platform to link the Territorial Operations Centre to the homes of Covid-19 patients. Via app and electro-medical devices, these patients transmit their vital statistics (e.g. body temperature, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, etc.), so that they can be followed remotely to ensure the most appropriate clinical and care management.
The experience demonstrated the strategic value of knowledge of healthcare processes and the implementation of technologies in specific scenarios, enabling the rapid evolution of a project within an emergency context.
