Comon project Understandable Healthcare
The Comon project on Understandable Healthcare has been completed. Curious about the results? Discover the prototypes developed to make care more understandable and read the final report.
Protoypes Understandable Healthcare
During Comon's Microlabs, four prototypes were developed to make care more understandable: Dolox, RingMe, ExplainMed and MIA.
Dolox
Dolox: a smart watch to track your pain. You can record your pain level (1-10) at set times and answer questions using a simple system. The data is uploaded to a dashboard three times a day, allowing the doctor to monitor your pain experience and propose a personalized treatment during consultations.
RingMe
RingMe: a phone bot for non-native patients to prepare for doctor visits. It calls the patient in their own language to clarify the next appointment and share practical information. Additionally, RingMe assists during the time between appointments, even when an interpreter is suddenly unavailable. This ensures that more patients are well-prepared for their doctor visits.
ExplainMed
ExplainMed: AI makes doctor's reports understandable to all. With an app, a patient can scan complex medical documents, such as reports from examinations or consultations, and convert them into understandable information. Medical reports often contain complicated jargon that is difficult for the average patient to comprehend.
MIA
MIA: a web tool to find customized psychological help. The idea behind MIA is that for people seeking psychological support, it is often very difficult to find the right person. It can be quite complicated to figure out what kind of help you need (psychoanalysis, systemic therapy, etc.), and many people don’t immediately know what exactly is “wrong” with them.
