FAQs | OULU REGION
What are the challenges to tackle in Oulu Region?
↓Challenge 1: A solution supporting resource planning for more efficient implementation of rooms↓
An electronic application is needed for real-time monitoring of the occupancy rate of hospital rooms so that when staff and patients vacate a surgery, it will be available for others. Oulu University hospital requires such an application as probably do also most other hospitals in Finland. *Some new specifications have been updated in this challenge by 10th April. Sorry for the inconvenience.
↓Challenge 2: Remote controlled mobile solution for hospital clients (case: children’s asthma examination)↓
A mobile control application for young clients is yet to be developed for mailing easy-to-use guidance materials (including videos, game apps) without the client having to log in. The application should be accessible for various mailing purposes of guidance materials relating to hospital care pathways. In the case of children and young people, login without a banking code or other certificate is important. A mobile apps should include good technical properties for modification of content and adding material. The application shall be clear and easy to use to encourage client’s motivation to use it.
↓Challenge 3: Electronic guidance and advice pass (case: breastfeeding guidance)↓
Breastfeeding guidance pass (in paper) is, at the moment, a tool promoting communication relating to breastfeeding guidance between the hospital (Oulu University Hospital) and mother and child clinic (City of Oulu), and encouraging and supporting families learning to care for their healthy newborn. The objective is to upgrade the breastfeeding guidance pass into a digital guidance method, a mobile application, which is easy to use and provides easy access to all breastfeeding-related material (texts, links and videos).
↓Challenge 4: Electronic services before and after an outpatient clinic appointment (case: pediatric and adolescent diabetes care pathway)↓
There is a need for the development of electronic communication platform for children and young people with diabetes and their families for the guidance of initial care practices. The platform shall allow saving real-time blood glucose and tissue glucose monitoring data, mealtime carbohydrate quantity and insulin dose counting as well as other insulin doses used in therapy. Moreover, the platform should contain the essential diabetes education materials and information about physical activity in relation to changes in blood glucose levels and a chat option for questions and guidance (once the client is transferred to home care).
