ALS Thuismeten en Coachen

The ALS Home Measuring and Coaching app has been developed for patients with ALS, PLS and PSMA to provide customized care. In order to use this app, you must be registered as a patient with an ALS treatment team that uses the app.In this app you keep track of your weight, how you are doing and information about physical functioning, such as walking, swallowing or dressing. You can then send this information to your ALS treatment team. In this way, your healthcare provider receives real-time information about your health and receives additional alerts if necessary.This continuous information from the ALS app helps the rehabilitation physician to better tailor the care for the individual patient. The healthcare provider can better follow the course of the disease and, if necessary, adjust your treatment plan with you. In addition, the checks in the hospital can be better attuned to your needs. You also have the option to ask questions to your healthcare provider via the app.The ALS Home Measuring and Coaching app was developed by the ALS Center Netherlands, in collaboration with patients and informal carers, and with financial support from the UMC Utrecht and the ALS Netherlands Foundation.The app is currently being rolled out in the ALS Care Network. Ask your treatment team about the possibilities to use the app.Link to video to evt. to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyJJEtpFfp8
