Self Care Catalysts has recently launched a patient-focused digital health platform. It allows patients to share their symptoms with their healthcare providers so they can receive personalized treatment.
Self-Care Catalysts have recently launched COVID tools within its Health Storylines, a digital therapeutics platform that allows healthcare providers to monitor patients who have been affected by the pandemic through their shared experiences.

The recently launched platform comes as a response to the effect of the pandemic on the healthcare system. Patients who already suffer from chronic illnesses have been finding it hard to get the healthcare they need because many medical institutions have prioritized patients that test positive for the virus.
Health Storylines has been designed to help healthcare providers, policymakers and governments acquire data that will facilitate the development of effective treatment. What makes the data different is that it comes from patient experience rather than medical records.
This means that data is real-world, and healthcare professionals have immediate access and can effectively monitor patients. The efficiency and scale at which high-quality data can be collected through this platform separates it from other data collection techniques.
The tool can also help healthcare professionals monitor the prognosis of patients who have tested positive for the virus, those who have tested positive with underlying conditions, and those who have not tested positive but have other ailments that they need treatment for regularly.
With the restrictions that social distancing have placed on patients getting the appropriate treatment, Health Storylines can bridge that gap by putting patients in constant communication with their healthcare provider so that personalized medicine can be delivered in real-time.
Another aspect that Health Storylines highlight is the mental effect of the pandemic on patients. Many patients have been self-isolating because of the risk that their pre-existing condition exposes them to.
As a result, they are afraid to visit the doctor for a check-up and are likely to suffer from anxiety attacks and other symptoms of mental illnesses.
Health Storylines allows them to share these experiences on a platform that can take that data and transform it into personalized treatment.
Self Care Catalysts have been pioneers in patient-focused health care for many years. They have developed the Health Storylines platform to not only help patients communicate their needs but also to add to the existing pool of data about the virus.
