Not every patient needs to visit the clinic, so why make them? A team from SGH created a smart automated system* that lets doctors monitor patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) remotely. The results? Possibly reducing unnecessary clinic visits and shorter waiting times. Special thanks to SGH AIA, SGH Autoimmunity and Rheumatology Centre (ARC), SGH Division of Medicine Citizen Coders, SGH Value Based Care Office and SGH Rheumatology & Immunology for making this innovation possible. *The team is currently piloting this model of care to evaluate its effectiveness and patient outcomes.
