How Digital Biomarkers and Task Tracking are Transforming Patient Care with iyarn
iyarn is dedicated to empowering individuals and healthcare providers with tools that significantly improve health outcomes. By combining digital biomarkers with task tracking, we’re paving the way for more personalised, actionable, and proactive healthcare. Whether it’s monitoring chronic conditions, improving patient adherence, or helping patients stay on track of their care plans, our platform provides real-time insights and support to revolutionise patient care.
What Are Digital Biomarkers?
Digital biomarkers are objective, measurable health data points collected from devices like wearables, sensors, or smartphones. Integrated with iyarn’s platform, these biomarkers give a real-time window into various aspects of a patient’s health, including:
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Insights into cardiac health and stress levels.
- Physical Activity: Steps, exercise levels, and recovery.
- Sleep Patterns: Monitoring sleep quality and identifying disturbances.
- Blood Glucose Levels: Essential for managing diabetes through continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).
- Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): Crucial for respiratory health, including conditions like COPD.
- Neurological Insights: Speech and gait analysis to monitor neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
By integrating wearable technology into our check ins, iyarn enables patients and providers to track these key metrics seamlessly.
Task Tracking: Supporting Patient Adherence and Engagement
While digital biomarkers provide critical health insights, ensuring patients adhere to their care plans is vital. That’s where iyarn’s task feature comes in.
This tool helps patients:
- Stay On Track: Daily reminders for tasks like taking medication, tracking symptoms, or attending appointments.
- Build Consistency: Visual checklists encourage adherence to routines, such as physical therapy exercises or sleep hygiene practices.
- See Progress: Completing tasks over time provides a sense of accomplishment, motivating patients to stay engaged.
How iyarn Supports Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)
iyarn’s platform combines wearable data, task tracking, and in-app support to deliver a holistic approach to health monitoring. By providing real-time insights and proactive resources, iyarn empowers patients to take ownership of their health while enabling early intervention. Key areas include:
- Cardiac Health: Wearables track heart rate variability (HRV) and other key metrics, providing early warnings for potential cardiac issues.
- Medication Management: Task tracking ensures patients stay on top of medication schedules, promoting adherence and better outcomes.
- Social and Emotional Wellbeing: Regular check ins and task reminders holistically support patients and foster connection with care teams or support networks.
- Physical Activity and Recovery: Tools for tracking movement and progress encourage healthy habits and rehabilitation efforts.
- Chronic Condition Management: Continuous monitoring and tailored reminders help patients manage conditions like diabetes or hypertension. Patients gain the tools and confidence to actively manage their health, supported by actionable insights.
Why Combine Digital Biomarkers with Task Tracking?
The integration of these two features offers unique benefits:
- Proactive Insights: Biomarkers identify potential health concerns early, while task tracking ensures patients act on those insights.
- Personalised Support: Customised reminders and biomarker trends help tailor care to each individual’s needs.
- Empowered Patients: Patients can see their progress, fostering ownership and accountability in their health journey.
- Streamlined Communication: Providers can use check in data to make informed decisions and provide timely interventions.
Overcoming Challenges with iyarn’s Approach
iyarn tackles these challenges head-on to ensure an effective, user-friendly solution for patients and healthcare providers:
- Data Privacy: iyarn prioritises robust data protection and compliance with privacy regulations to build trust and confidence among users. We meet and exceed all requirements set forth by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
- Patient Engagement and Adherence: iyarn’s intuitive interface and personalised reminders make it easier for patients to stay engaged and consistent with their tasks and health tracking while fostering a sense of responsibility for their own health.
- Integration with Healthcare Systems: Fragmented data can hinder effective care. Iyarn seamlessly integrates wearable data, check-ins, and task tracking into one platform, enabling smooth collaboration between patients, providers, and support networks.
- Access to In-Moment Support : iyarn connects users to in-app resources that provide immediate guidance and support, empowering patients to address issues as they happen and reducing delays in care.
- Promoting Early Intervention: Many health concerns escalate due to delayed action, but iyarn’s monitoring tools and reminders help identify potential issues early, enabling patients and providers to act swiftly.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Health Monitoring with iyarn
At iyarn, we believe in the power of connection—between patients, their data, and their care teams. By combining the capabilities of digital biomarkers and task tracking, we’re creating a platform that not only monitors health but also actively supports better adherence, engagement, and outcomes.
As we continue to innovate, we’re excited to explore new ways to empower patients and healthcare providers with the tools they need for success.
