Background

The Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital sees more than 3,000 patients annually who come in for a colonoscopy following a suspicion raised from the national screening programme.

To make this process as efficient as possible, patients complete a risk screening questionnaire at home. The key results that need to be discussed are directly accessible to the healthcare provider during the consultation via a custom-designed dashboard. This ensures that the most important points are addressed promptly, contributing to a safe procedure.

β€œThe app sends helpful reminders at the right time, such as reminders for laxative preparation.”

Use of Patient Journey App 

After completing the risk screening, patients receive Patient Journey App to help them prepare as thoroughly as possible for the procedure. As a result, patients are better informed about their colonoscopy. The app sends helpful reminders at the right time, such as reminders for bowel preparation, fasting, and what exactly the patient needs to bring to the hospital.

Feedback patients

Patients indicate that they really appreciate having all the information they need in one clear and personalised place. Additionally, they find it very convenient to receive notifications when something is expected of them.
