The common cause of death worldwide is cardiovascular disease, which is influenced by risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol. To address this global health concern, Patient on the Go (POTG)envisions improving health and wellbeing through the proactive monitoring of these metrics and timely professional intervention.
Recent reports from the World Economic Forum (WEF) highlight the economic impact of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, mental illness, heart disease, and respiratory disease, which could amount to a staggering $47trillion over the next two decades. The WEF emphasizes that mental illness and heart disease alone contribute to almost 70 percent of lost economic output.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also shed light on the importance of understanding mortality factors. Research published in The Lancet in 2021reveals a strong correlation between COVID-19 mortality and age, as well as pre-existing medical conditions. Factors such as elderly populations, ethnicity, obesity, and underlying diseases have played a significant role in determining vulnerability to the virus.
POTG recognizes the need for proactive healthcare management and aims to address the aforementioned challenges. By monitoring crucial health indicators like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, POTG assists individuals in predicting and preventing complications. Furthermore, it addresses the issue of non-compliance with medication by providing timely reminders for medication intake.
POTG goes beyond cardiovascular health and extends its monitoring capabilities to include conditions such as kidney function, anaemia, liver disease, thyroid disease, blood thinning medication and many more. This comprehensive approach allows individuals to monitor and manage various aspects of their health effectively.
Recognizing that interpreting and utilizing health monitoring data can be challenging for some individuals, POTG offers the option to share data with healthcare professionals of their choice. This facilitates active participation in one's own care and enables informed discussions with healthcare providers.
In conclusion, POTG aims to empower individuals in monitoring their health, managing risk factors, and predicting and preventing complications. By leveraging technology and promoting collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals, POTG strives to improve global well being and contribute to the overall reduction of chronic diseases and their economic impact.
