Application created by Camgenium designed to assist prostate cancer patients
The rising incidence of prostate cancer in the UK, with approximately 15% more cases expected between 2023 and 2040[3], has highlighted the need for innovative solutions to address the unmet psychosocial needs of patients. Enter Camgenium's HealthiumPro software solution, a cloud-based app designed to improve prostate cancer patient outcomes before and after surgery.
HealthiumPro, built in compliance with ISO 13485 and approved for hosting on the NHS private network, HSCN, offers several key features. Patients can remotely consent and receive pre-surgery information, access recommended pre-surgical physical exercises, and view their upcoming appointment information[2]. The system also enables clinicians to remotely monitor vital signs such as blood pressure and temperature, improving patient safety and saving clinical time.
Moreover, HealthiumPro automates the process of surgical notes correlated with patient-reported outcomes, supporting better patient care documentation[3]. This technology aims to address psychosocial and clinical care gaps by enhancing patient engagement, safety monitoring, and communication, potentially reducing anxiety and improving overall wellbeing during the cancer treatment journey.
The HealthiumPro system was developed in partnership with Professor Petre Cristian Ilie, with Camgenium's engineering experts working closely to understand both the needs of patients and hospital clinicians. The system is built on the flexible Xenplate platform, which uses a modular, no-code software platform with built-in design tools, minimising the need for bespoke coding[1].
Currently, no national electronic stent register is used across the NHS, with some hospitals relying on paper-based logging. In response, HealthiumPro has introduced the HealthiumPro Stent Register, which streamlines the logging and tracking of stent insertions, offering a more efficient and reliable solution.
As the demand for addressing the complex psychosocial and clinical needs of prostate cancer patients continues to grow, HealthiumPro stands as a promising solution, providing timely support and improving health outcomes. With its potential to reduce anxiety and improve overall wellbeing, HealthiumPro is a step forward in addressing the challenges posed by the rise in prostate cancer cases in the UK.
