Functionality for remote monitoring and communication.

Dignio component			Brief description
Tasks			Health care workers can specify tasks for patients, such as performing daily activities, registering measures taken with the patients’ own devices, or watching patient videos.
Thresholds			Health care workers can define thresholds. The limit values are set, based on each patient’s baseline, and follows the traffic light model, with green, yellow, and red alerts.
Notifications and triage			When measures are outside defined thresholds, health care workers are notified. Deviating values, responses, and unanswered messages from patients are captured by an overview of patients in Dignio Prevent, where they are sorted by degree of urgency or severity (traffic light model). If the patient does not perform the defined tasks at the specified time, a warning is triggered. This can admittedly be turned off if desired.
Reminders			Reminders can be sent to the patients as push-notifications in MyDignio, through email or SMS texts. When the task or measure is done, the reminders stop.
Messages or chat			Patients and health care workers can send messages to each other and have an asynchronous dialogue when it is best for both parties. Lung: patients are asked to upload photos of the results of any laboratory tests conducted and the results of a 6-minute walking test conducted at their local hospital every 12th week. Neuro: patients are allowed to upload photos of seizures whenever relevant.
Video consultations			A video consultation can be arranged if needed. A video room is created with an encrypted connection where the patient and health care worker can meet.
Information pages			MyDignio has an information page that can be updated by health care workers from the web portal Dignio Prevent. It is possible to create an individual information page, create templates, and send updates to several patients.
Efficacy tools (templates)
	Templates for patient care	Templates can be developed to facilitate a standardized follow-up at given times, allowing health care workers to monitor any changes in a timely manner.
