ostom-i™ Alert Hospital App
What Does The ostom-i Alert Hospital App Do?
- Enable up to 20 patients to be connected to one tablet at one time.
- Enable individual patient reporting and monitoring of ostomy output. This is measured by recording time of output and volume.
- Each patient within the app will have individual alerts, notifying the Nurse/Staff who are viewing the app.
- Enable reporting to be in a graphical format. The Doctor and Nurse can set the reporting process to be as often as they like.
- Enable data to be send directly to the doctor and/or the patient's notes for recording purposes. This then allows access to historical data held on the 11 Health and Technologies Limited website http://www.11health.com. This has a secure log in for patient and doctor access.
