Abstract

The main problem with remote monitoring of cardiac
device patients relates to inefficient communication.
This is because patients and clinicians are separated in
space and time. In the SCAUT project (2014-2018) we
experiment with asynchronous interaction and explore
how different types of patient-generated data can
improve collaboration. The types of data that patients
generate using the SCAUT patient app includes
symptom experiences (categories/audio/numeric
values), context (activity level/audio), medication list
and travel information. We find that it is very important
to consider how the data that patients enter can
become useful for patients and clinicians
simultaneously.
