OPAT@Home

OPAT@Home is a digital health prototype designed to support patients receiving intravenous antibiotics at home through Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT).

The project’s goal is to increase patient confidence, independence, and safety when receiving intravenous treatment at home, while supporting the healthcare system’s shift toward more scalable, home-based care.

This prototype was developed as part of the Digital Health Implementation course at Chalmers University of Technology, with guidance from faculty at Stanford University and clinical input from healthcare professionals in Sweden and the UK. The app is built using Stanford’s Spezi framework.

Key Features (Prototype v2)

• Onboarding & Welcome Flow
  Introduces OPAT and the home treatment steps in a clear, patient-friendly manner.

• Daily Treatment Schedule & Progress Tracker
  Today's tasks, pre-treatment steps, and infusion events, with visual progress tracking.

• Step-by-Step Infusion Guide (Prototype)
  Prototype of the future step-based instructional flow for infusion tasks.

• Daily Check-Ins
  Built-in self-monitoring to help patients reflect on symptoms and treatment progress.
  Designed with a future vision of structured clinical integration, enhancing both patient confidence and remote oversight.

• Contact & Support Access
  Easy access to contacts for clinic nurses, emergency services, and support.

• FAQ & Search Module
  Searchable FAQ module to support patient independence and understanding.
