The patient has changed. The practice has stayed the same. The system has run out of capacity.

The gap

Real life happens between appointments

Follow-up is a few clinic slots a year. Deterioration, missed doses and stalled treatment happen in between. Lifeyear gives the care team visibility into those months and the tools to act on it, without adding to their workload.

A year of usual care

Two appointments. The rest goes unseen.

A year with Lifeyear

Daily readings, weekly review, escalation when it matters.

The Digital Clinic

Readings at home. Review by Lifeyear. Decisions by the care team.

The whole remote patient management system, on one contract - software, devices, monitoring and implementation support.
