A new system called EVA Bridge aims to improve care for patients who have suffered a heart attack. Its goal is to coordinate work between cardiologists and primary care physicians to reduce relapses. Many patients stop taking their medication or fail to control their cholesterol, leading to new complications. The program offers close follow-up for over a year, with periodic visits and calls.
How the digital bridge between specialists works 🏥
EVA Bridge uses a digital platform that shares clinical data in real-time between care levels. When a patient leaves the hospital, the system activates alerts for the family doctor about pending appointments, cholesterol tests, or medication changes. It also schedules nursing calls at 3, 6, and 12 months. The idea is that no one gets lost along the way and that the patient doesn't have to repeat their history every time they switch clinics.
Less cholesterol, more calls, and the occasional lecture 📞
Because yes, dear patient, now you'll have a family doctor reminding you that medication isn't candy and that cholesterol isn't controlled with good intentions. EVA Bridge will call you at home to ask if you've taken your pill or if you've fallen back into the temptation of ham. At least, with this system, if you relapse, it will be on your own account and not due to a lack of warnings. Healthcare saves money; you, excuses.
