At Innovation Sprint, we believe that technology can play a crucial role in creating a fairer and healthier world. Our product Healthentia is a medical decision support software that is designed to monitor, detect, and offer virtual coaching services to patients based on Real-World Data gathered from clinical investigations or from those using it as a medical or well-being device.
Healthentia helps healthcare professionals make informed decisions about patient care by providing them with real-time insights into patient health. It also helps patients take charge of their health by providing them with personalized coaching and alerts to help them manage their conditions.

In addition to using technology to improve healthcare outcomes, it’s important to also promote active living as a key component of a healthy lifestyle. Active living refers to incorporating physical activity into your daily routine, whether it’s through exercise, sports, or other physical activities. We believe that promoting active living is essential to building a fairer and healthier world. Healthentia not only offers virtual coaching services to patients, but it also encourages them to adopt healthy behaviors such as regular physical activity. We recognize that physical activity can have a positive impact on a wide range of health outcomes, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. By promoting active living, we can help individuals improve their overall health and well-being, which can in turn lead to a fairer and healthier world for all.

On this World Health Day, let’s remember the importance of staying active and make a commitment to incorporating physical activity into our daily routines.
Together, we can use technology and promote active living to build a fairer and healthier world for everyone.

Healthentia is a digital platform by Innovation Sprint that facilitates data capture in hybrid clinical trials and enables digital therapeutics as a certified medical device. It does so by offering a smartphone application for patients and a web portal for investigators and healthcare professionals to securely access smart services and insights. Healthentia empowers patients in clinical studies and gives them an active role in taking trial actions, rather than bringing them to the trial sites. Healthentia is used by Top5 Pharma and hospitals and operates under the strict regulatory framework of Good Clinical Practice.

In 2021, Healthentia medical device entered the market of Patient Support Programs (PSP) as a decision support software intended to monitor, detect and predict outcomes, offer virtual coaching services and generate automatic alerts regarding events, based on Real World Data gathered from patients. Healthentia PSPs are offered jointly with healthcare organizations and pharmaceutical companies and follow co-development, participatory-design, and patient-centric approaches. In 2022 Healthentia is expected to collect evidence that will create clinical claims on its efficacy as a therapeutic device.

What is a Patient Support Program (PSP)?

A PSP provides an integrated approach to remote care with digital services to support patients during medical treatments. Today, digital platforms for remote patient monitoring are the technical infrastructure of PSPs, offering notifications services for therapy, functionalities for booking hospital visits, and questionnaires to be filled in. More advanced solutions enable the capturing of data from wearable and other medical devices, as well as teleconsultation and virtual coaching as a therapy.

How can a digital platform transform healthcare?

If we can better educate patients and enable them to share data between the periodic visits, we can improve their engagement in daily self-management of their health and the interactions with the care team by personalizing the care plan, making sure they understand why adherence matters, and providing ways to individually achieve it, patients will increase their understanding of care plan, medication regimen and their engagement with care plan activities and confidence in disease management. By using the PSP app and staying connected with the care team, patients will be able to stay engaged in remotely reporting their clinical metrics, wellbeing, and adherence in-between visits. Finally, by having new remote monitoring data, care plans can be adjusted at the follow-up visits, and situations that require clinical attention can be identified earlier.

Abstract

An ever-increasing number of people need to cope with one or more chronic conditions for a significant portion of their life. Digital Therapeutics (DTx) focused on the prevention, management, or treatment of chronic diseases are promising in alleviating the personal socio-economic burden caused. In this paper we describe a proposed DTx methodology covering three main components: observation (which data is collected), understanding (how to acquire knowledge based on the data collected), and coaching (how to communicate the acquired knowledge to the user). We focus on an emerging form of automated virtual coaching, delivered through conversational agents allowing interaction with end-users using natural language. Our methodology will be applied in the new generation of the Healthentia platform, an eClinical solution that captures clinical outcomes from mobile, medical and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, using a patient-centric mobile application and offers Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven smart services. While we are unable to provide data to prove its effectiveness, we illustrate the potential of the proposed architecture to deliver DTx by describing how the methodology can be applied to a use-case consisting of a clinical trial for treatment of a chronic condition, combining testing of a new medication and a lifestyle intervention, which will be partly implemented and evaluated in the context of the European research project RE-SAMPLE (REal-time data monitoring for Shared, Adaptive, Multi-domain, and Personalised prediction, and decision making for Long-term Pulmonary care Ecosystems).
