Why UC Davis is Turning to mHealth Tech for Post - Angioplasty Care

UC Davis Health initiated a digital care program for post-angioplasty patients to enhance outcomes. Leveraging mHealth technology, patients receive text messages via UC-NOW platform, providing crucial post-procedure instructions and medication reminders. Remote patient monitoring tools track vital signs, enabling timely intervention by clinicians. The program, a collaborative effort across departments, underwent rigorous testing and review. Supported by grants, it aims to improve patient outcomes through personalized care and education. Evaluation against a control group will measure efficacy, potentially paving the way for widespread adoption in cardiac care. UC Davis aspires for this model to become a national standard, ensuring comprehensive post-procedure support for high-risk patients.
