Components of Health Buddy System Monitoring Technologies In-home monitoring technologies guide patients in self-care, education and the collection of clinical information including health self-assessment, symptoms, and vital signs. Clinical Information Databases Clinical and patient information is securely transmitted and stored in databases that enable tracking and evaluation of outcomes across settings. Decision Support Tools Web-based patient management tools enable care providers to efficiently monitor groups of patients using reports, trends, and risk stratification. Health Management Programs Interactive scripted content based on standard practice guidelines for major diseases educates patients, enhances medication compliance, and changes patient behavior. Content Development Tools Robust software tools enable health management program development, with dynamic branching logic, flexible question taxonomy and variable patient responses.
