Active+me

Active+ helps increase the confidence of people with long term conditions to monitor and manage their health using wearable technology. Eastern AHSN has supported the roll out of the programme in our region and commissioned an evaluation of the service.

Active⁺me is a solution developed by Aseptika which empowers patients to take charge of their own recovery, providing them with standard cardiac rehabilitation care which includes guidance on safe exercise and education on risk factors and lifestyle changes, reinforced by educational resources on the Active⁺me platform.

In addition, patients are provided with medical monitors to take home and record progress such as activity levels, blood pressure, weight and oxygen saturation. The data from which are uploaded to an app and shared securely with the hospital’s cardiac rehabilitation team.

In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, Aseptika adapted the programme to help patients keep up their exercise remotely and manage their recovery thanks to funding from Innovate UK and support from Eastern AHSN.
