Preventative Care and Risk Management Made Easy: MiiCare's Role in Reducing UTIs, Infections, and Falls

Amid the rapidly evolving healthcare industry, prioritising preventative care and risk management is crucial. Healthcare expenses account for over 10% of the gross domestic product in many developing nations, necessitating strategies to enhance patient outcomes, reduce costs, and alleviate burdens on medical facilities.

The NHS currently faces unprecedented levels of pressure, including strained GP services, insufficient hospital bed availability, and attrition within the medical workforce, highlighting the urgent need for innovative approaches to address these issues.

Our solution aids in prioritising preventative care and risk management, ultimately easing the strain on the NHS through remote monitoring, personalised care plans, and data-driven insights. By effectively managing health, individuals can reduce hospitalisations and lighten the burden on medical facilities.

In this blog post, we will explore how MiiCare enhances patient safety and well-being by actively mitigating risks such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), dehydration, and falls in older adults, and placing people at the centre of preventative care and risk management.

Remote Monitoring and Early Intervention:

With MiiCare's platform, which consists of the latest Artificial Intelligence and cloud technologies working alongside an ecosystem of smart wireless sensors, individuals can manage their health conditions effectively from their homes. Combining our MiiCube, our digital health coach, Monica, room sensors, health devices, and an optional smartwatch, health parameters like temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate are seamlessly monitored, enabling early detection of warning signs that may indicate the onset of a UTI, infection, or increased fall risk. This timely identification allows healthcare professionals to intervene promptly, preventing escalation and reducing the need for hospitalisation.

Personalised Care Plans:

MiiCare delivers and assesses personalised care plans by integrating patient-specific data, tailoring engagement, reminders, exercise routines, and safety recommendations. For those with a history of UTIs, targeted reminders for hygiene, fluids, and medication adherence help to minimise risks. Similarly, fall-prone individuals receive customised exercise routines and safety measures, creating a level of personalisation which empowers individuals to actively manage their health, preventing avoidable incidents and improving their well-being.

Education and Empowerment:

Our solution offers educational resources and grants individuals the knowledge to make informed decisions. By providing accessible information about UTIs, infections, and fall prevention strategies, users benefit from enhanced individual awareness and self-care capabilities. Through the platform's user-friendly interface and supportive content, individuals gain a deeper understanding of the risks they face and the measures they can take to minimise them within their homes. This holistic approach to education and empowerment contributes to long-term prevention and risk reduction.

Data-Driven Insights:

MiiCare's comprehensive data collection and analysis provide healthcare professionals with valuable insights into the effectiveness of preventative measures and risk management strategies. By aggregating and analysing data, MiiCare identifies patterns, trends, and risk factors associated with UTIs, infections, and falls. This enables healthcare providers to refine care plans, improve interventions, and optimise preventive measures based on evidence-based findings. The continuous feedback loop created by our data-driven insights fosters a culture of continuous improvement and ensures that care practices remain aligned with the latest advancements.

Conclusion:

MiiCare empowers individuals to take charge of their health through managing hydration levels, medicine reminders and acting as support for any queries the user may have while enabling healthcare professionals to intervene proactively if an anomaly arises that needs attention. Through remote monitoring, personalised care plans, education, and data-driven insights, we set a new standard for preventative care, reducing hospital readmissions by 65% and welfare checks by 50% for those we have worked with.

Ultimately, our platform improves patient safety, reduces healthcare costs, and enhances overall well-being. As we continue to embrace technology-driven healthcare solutions, we prioritise proactive measures to ensure long-term prevention and risk reduction.
