Managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) alongside other chronic conditions (CCs) like depression requires a comprehensive and innovative approach. As part of the RE-SAMPLE research project, Healthentia, our advanced SaMD solution, addresses this challenge by integrating real-world data (RWD) to enhance disease management and improve daily life for patients. For more information about the intended use of the device and the medical modules, please consult: https://healthentia.com/medical-device/

This research-driven initiative bridges the gap between clinical research and real-world healthcare, supporting two phases of COPD and CCs management:

• Phase 1: Healthentia collects RWD to track disease progression, uncover patterns, and predict exacerbations. These insights enable proactive care, empowering healthcare providers to anticipate and address patient needs more effectively.
• Phase 2: Through its Virtual Companionship Program (VCP), the platform delivers tailored self-management tools, including lifestyle coaching, goal-setting, and real-time medical suggestions. Patients gain the confidence to manage their health actively, while healthcare providers benefit from actionable insights via a clinical dashboard. This enables personalized, adaptive care strategies, ensuring better outcomes.

Healthentia redefines the standard of COPD care in hospitals across Europe by seamlessly integrating real-world insights with technology-driven solutions. By prioritizing both patients and providers, it transforms the approach to managing not only COPD but also co-existing chronic conditions, helping patients regain control over their health and well-being.

This World COPD Day, Healthentia reaffirms its commitment to innovation, providing hope and support for millions living with COPD.

World Diabetes Day is an essential reminder of the global impact of diabetes. Especially type 2 diabetes affects millions of lives and continues to grow at an alarming rate. Currently, type 2 diabetes makes up more than 90% of the over 450 million adults worldwide that are living with diabetes. By 2030, this number is expected to reach 578 million. This increase not only strains healthcare systems but places a significant burden on individuals who must learn to live with and manage this chronic condition.

At Innovation Sprint, we believe in empowering patients by providing Healthentia, the patient companion app they need to effectively manage their condition at home. Healthentia is designed for chronic disease management, offering a personalized approach to each patient. By collecting data on daily habits, physical activity, and health metrics, Healthentia offers customized support and advice that aligns with the patient’s health goals and current state. For more information about the intended use of the device and the medical modules, please consult: https://healthentia.com/medical-device/.

For type 2 diabetes patients, effective management is key to preventing serious complications like heart disease and nerve damage. While healthcare professionals are essential, most daily care happens at home, requiring regular monitoring, a balanced diet, physical activity, and adherence to treatments. Many patients find this challenging, especially without personalized guidance.

In our ongoing research study with type 2 diabetes patients, we are taking this a step further. By gathering detailed data, we can provide personalized recommendations that evolve alongside the patient. For instance, if a patient’s activity level drops or they struggle with diet management, Healthentia can recognize these patterns and suggest targeted interventions that encourage gradual improvements. This constant, personalized feedback loop helps patients feel supported and more capable of taking control of their health.

On this World Diabetes Day, let’s acknowledge not only the challenges but also the strides being made in digital health to enhance self-management for millions of people worldwide. With solutions like Healthentia, we’re creating a future where living with diabetes doesn’t have to be so daunting.

“In our new study with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients in the University of Thessaly we are integrating Healthentia, a digital health solution, to evaluate how digital health tools can enhance traditional healthcare. The patients thus far responded positively, embracing the mobile app for their support at home, while the healthcare professionals benefit from the web portal, which provides real-time data monitoring and insight into the tailored advice each patient receives.”
