Virtual clinic for rheumatoid arthritis care
| Resumo: | This project develops a Virtual Clinic (VC) for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) care, grounded in Value-Based Healthcare principles. Addressing challenges like delayed diagnoses, fragmented care, and limited patient access to rheumatologists, the VC offers a comprehensive digital solution for RA management. Through market research, patient surveys, and exploratory interviews, the feasibility of virtual interventions was validated. A pilot phase with university clinics will refine processes before scaling. The VC integrates telemedicine, AI-driven diagnostics, and holistic care to improve patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. This innovative approach aims to optimize RA treatment pathways, enhance accessibility, and provide continuous patient support. |
