App-supported care for Long Covid patients, optimising health care access

In late 2020, the Trust had approximately 4000 patients requiring some level of Post-Covid review following the first wave of Covid. This was a significant challenge magnified by the complex challenges of Covid on the NHS. We developed an app to facilitate a novel approach to the rehabilitative journey, with an MVP in use from August 2020. Patients were invited by the Trust to be screened for after-Covid needs, and were then referred to the app. One patient could be reviewed weekly in about 3 minutes via the app’s dashboard with RAG rated outcomes, tabulated PROM history and easy access to a range of patient facing tools.
