A company helps in preventing mistakes by patients who incorrectly implement doctor’s instructions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Errors can occur when prescriptions issued to patients are accurate and appropriate for them, but the patients themselves use them incorrectly and don’t use the medication in accordance with the doctor’s instructions. The Telesofia Corporation’s innovation \u2013 personal film clips created especially for the patient and according to his precise medical needs \u2013 assist in prevent such mistakes. “We instantly and automatically create a personal video clip for each patient, providing him with precise personal instructions. The clips are sent to the patient and he can view them repeatedly without restriction”, explains Dr. Rami Cohen CEO and founder of Telesofia Medical Ltd., and a physician by profession. “It is not merely for patients released from hospital, but also for any case in which there are instructions and information to transmit to the patients, such as a personal message, the display of the correct dosage in a syringe, the picture of the correct tablet to be taken etc. The film clips are presented to each patient in the manner most appropriate for him \u2013 demonstration on a model of the same sex, medical warnings relevant to the patient’s gender, the choice of appropriate audio for him, and others. The objective is that the patients watch the clips, fully understand the content and thereby know exactly what to do in order to perform the treatment in the optimal manner.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “As a physician, I saw a tremendous need for this”, mentions Dr. Cohen. “I frequently met patients who didn’t properly understand the instructions prior to surgery or after receiving a prescription for medication to be administered at home. Naturally, this is the health system’s problem. We provide information on paper, in a format that is difficult to read, and in a professional jargon that is incomprehensible to the majority of patients. Telesofia’s objective is to make this important information accessible to all patients.”
As Dr. Cohen explains: “The technology that we have developed is capable of creating these instructive film clips in less than a second. We can then send them to the patients by a variety of means: as a link via SMS or e-mail, by integrating them in the health fund systems, or any by other convenient means. All he needs to do is press PLAY. The clips are issued to the patient by a reliable party \u2013 doctor, nurse or pharmacist \u2013 and remain constantly available for repeat viewing”.
