Reducing Hospital Readmissions & Enhancing Post-Surgical Recovery with AI Driven Patient Monitoring

Overview

Hospital readmissions after surgery can be costly and burdensome for both healthcare providers and patients. Our client developed an advanced remote patient monitoring (RPM) app designed to track recovery progress, detect early warning signs, and facilitate timely interventions. Astrabrand was engaged to create a compelling brand identity, intuitive user interface (UI), and a strategic marketing approach to position the app as a leader in post-surgical care management.

Challenge

Post-surgical complications often go unnoticed until they require emergency intervention, leading to high hospital readmission rates. The challenge was to design an app that would seamlessly integrate into patient recovery journeys, provide real-time insights for clinicians, and ensure an effortless user experience for patients and caregivers. Additionally, the brand needed to communicate trust, innovation, and efficiency to healthcare stakeholders. The app also needed to be highly intuitive and user-friendly, particularly for elderly and physically challenged patients who may have limited experience with digital health tools.
