Patient types are categorized by how they interact with the aTouchAway® App.
There are three main patient type categories:- The aTouchAway / Simplified
- The Mobile / Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
- The Basic Remote Patient Monitoring
The Patient Types can be seen and applied when creating a new patient or editing a current patient.
The aTouchAway / Simplified
The aTouchAway / Simplified patient will be given an aTouchAway® tablet that is pre-configured to follow the patient's care plan. Any peripheral Bluetooth devices that this patient requires will be paired and configured beforehand. The aTouchAway / Simplified patient simply turns on the device and has access to care.
The user interface has simple, easy-to-understand buttons. This interface may be customized based on the patient's needs in a particular setting or Care Pathway.
The Mobile / Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
The Mobile / Bring Your Own Device patient will be using their own compatible computer, tablet, or cellular phone to run the aTouchAway® App. This patient will need some level of comfort using tech as they will be required to download and install the aTouchAway® App.
The Basic Remote Patient Monitoring
This patient's interaction with the aTouchAway® App is minimal other than basic monitoring functions. This is typically set up on an aTouchAway® tablet.
