Health risk assessment and management
Care digital therapeutics (CareDTx™) provides truck drivers, in collaboration with their family doctor a digital health solution for initial digital health risk assessment. This is meant to form a baseline electronic health record (that identifies existing driver health risks) for future comparetive care.
This health record coupled with subsequent health monitoring data, will assist the healthcare team (including the managing clinician) to monitor the driver's health and wellness over a period of time, and informed by the recorded biodata provide mitigating strategies to improve personal health.
Remote health monitoring
A registered and subscribing truck driver is provided with a set of digital health monitoring devices. The nature of the set will be in a form of one of the digital therapeutics programs determined by the driver's clinically identified needs after the health risk assessment. Additionally, each driver will be provided with training and education on their health and the use of these devices.
A personalized prescribed protocol for times of self-measurement of vitals will be provided to each driver. Every measured biodata is digitally recorded via an App onto the digital health platform. A bi-monthly intergrated health data report, indicating the driver's progressive wellbeing is generated and shared with both the driver and theri treating doctor.
Positive lifestyle engagement
Diet and exercise limitations are major contributors to health risks. Truck stops may lack nutritious food options or safe areas for physical activity, making it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
In Southern Africa, road crime and poor sleeping patterns identifiable causes of excessive stress for drivers. Smoking and alcohol abuse prevalence is higher among truck drivers, further increasing cardiovascular and respiratory risks.
Care digital therapeutics (CareDTx™) in partnership with Damascus sports has developed a comprehensive driver physical activity kit, that ensures health preserving exercise routines on the road.
