About Tolepatì

Healthcare personnel invite non-hospitalized patients, under observation, affected by Covid-19 or at risk, to download the app and use it to answer various questionnaires via smartphone for the detection of some data relevant for the clinical evaluation of their state of health.

The APP includes the administration of the Questionnaire called Modified British Medical Research Council Questionnaire (mMRC), useful for the assessment of dyspnea, which allows you to measure the degree of the feeling of shortness of breath in relation to the performance of common daily activities.

In addition to responding to the mMRC test, the APP requires other information such as the body temperature detected, the oxygen saturation in the blood, the respiratory rate, the heart rate, the presence of cough. These data are collected by the patient and reported simply in the app. For the purposes of data collection, the patient should be equipped with a thermometer for detecting body temperature and an oximeter, which automatically detects the oxygen saturation in the blood and the heart rate. The two devices are cheap and easy to supply. All other data are collected directly from the app, through tests. The respiratory rate measurement uses an inferential algorithm based on the calculation of the taps associated with the breath.

Healthcare personnel activate their patients on the platform, issuing each one a specific and unique pin and monitoring their health by querying the database. It also receives platform alerts generated by a test evaluation algorithm whose evaluation weights are parametric.
In the case of cohabitants with operational difficulties, the APP allows multiple users, with different Pin, to use the same mobile phone. To switch from one user to another, simply exit the APP and re-enter by entering the new Pin. The APP always reports the active user and allows the return to the Home at any time.
At the first start of the APP, you will be asked to enter the PIN code that was communicated to the patient by the reference healthcare professional, and the mobile phone number to check the consistency with the data entered by the healthcare professional. Following the APP, it indicates the patient's general information for confirmation and therefore the privacy information to be approved at the first access. The privacy policy and terms of use are always accessible in the app.
The patient will be able to carry out the test as many times as he wishes, but it is the healthcare professional who defines the administration protocol on the backoffice which contains the number of deliveries valid every day, the data to be acquired, etc. The APP periodically checks the protocol in be for daily operations.
Delivery is made up of a few simple screens:
User registration screens that include acceptance of the privacy policy and terms of use and conditions.

The Home screen contains the institutional logos, the button to start the test, the exit button, the chat activation button to communicate with the healthcare professional, the name of the active patient.
The screens relating to tests and data collection: temperature, mMRC test, cough, heart rate, percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood, respiratory rate. Each detection requires a user confirmation.

At the end of the test, the app automatically returns technical feedback to the patient in relation to the test that summarizes his health status.
Through an automatic notification system, the system sends automatic messages to the patient on the basis of predefined and parametric rules and the healthcare professional can send a personalized message to all his patients or to each individual patient.

The APP can also acquire the territorial position data of the mobile phone if authorized by the user.
