Abstract :

Incorporating a digital Medical Diary for patients at risk of emergency care is one broader mechanism to support the emergency care team and to reduce the number of emergency room (ER) visits. The SOENIATM Medical Diary with linked Cloud service as a tool provides recent symptoms documented by the patient, which should facilitate the decision making process and interview phase in the ER. It also helps the primary physicians and neurologists identify neurological-related problems before they become acute issues requiring emergency room care. Come and discuss what digital tools can bring additional neurological support to the emergency care team without having the neurologists as part of that team. Join the workshop and discuss the challenges and solutions that can lead to better support for the emergency care team.
