Summary<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

SomaSens is a healthcare consulting firm that meets with clients (hospitals, medical centers, clinics, and providers) to help solve problems around big data, patient-provider challenges, and find solutions to clinical decision support issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past several years, the Somasens team (I act as the sole UX, managing visual and development) met to solve real and virtual problems at Stanford Medical Center with teams of 10-20 people with various areas of expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n

What we are solving\u00a0on this page are considered part of what is currently being\u00a0called Care Delivery Platforms and mHealth Connectivity Solutions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Problems\/Projects 2010-2020<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. HealthBoard \u2013 Providers (doctors, nurses and care teams) wanted a way to view a patients state of health at any point in time, through the use of sensor data, and patient interaction.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Remote Patient Monitoring \u2013 Care teams needed the ability to track patients, recently released from intensive care units (ICU\u2019s), and a way to remotely display how they are doing at any particular time, in order to minimize hospital readmissions.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Dashboard \u2013 Insurers and medical centers wanted a way to track how well a providers patient population was doing (overall health of one or more patients).<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Automated patient encounter transcription app with Google Glass compliment \u2013 Providers have always complained about charting, and how arduous the dictation and transcription process is.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Solutions<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. HealthBoard \u2013 We designed a transparent view of the patient at a particular point in time that could be viewed by both the care team, and patient. TheHealthBoard allowed all users to set up challenges, and tie into existing group based systems such as Keas, and Virgin Health. As well, data is captured and displayed from personal health tracking, remote patient monitoring, sensor data from wearables, and other sensor based inputs such as weight scales, blood pressure monitors, connected via bluetooth, wifi or usb. Each participant received and overall score (not shown in this view), which tied into the ACO Dashboard.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Remote Patient Monitoring Dashboard \u2013 Designed a 3-screen dashboard that allowed providers on the care team to track patients via sensor data and remote patient monitoring.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Dashboard \u2013 We created a tabular system with 3-level drill down that allowed viewers of the system to see a view, starting at the overall medical center provider list, drill into the patient list under each provider (overall cost and health of each patient), and finally to the HealthBoard view of the individual patient costs and overall health.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Automated patient encounter transcription app with Google Glass compliment \u2013 We created a Google Glass app for standalone recording of the encounter, that also worked with mobile phones and tablets. This app allowed the provider to record a conversation with a patient, and have that information parsed into a Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan (SOAP) format. The information went to the database, and providers were able to create a patient plan in a complimentary app. This app allowed the provider to send dictation notes to the server along with prescriptions to pharmacies, request to labs, radiology requests, and billing information directly on submission.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
