Mölndal City – Digital Nurse in Home Healthcare

If you have been granted Safe Discharge (Trygg hemgång), you can become more involved in your care and rehabilitation with the help of digital technology. With the health portal, you can measure your own values and have direct contact with the Safe Discharge and home healthcare team. This is an important step towards the national goal of good and close care.

Increased quality and accessibility

Those granted Safe Discharge will be offered a digital health portal that makes them more engaged in their own health, care, and rehabilitation. This is a new way of working that combines physical care with digital technology in a very effective way. It aligns with Mölndal City’s strategies for increased quality and accessibility for its residents.

A good complement to physical visits

You will either borrow a device that looks like a small laptop or download an app with the same functionality. With the device, you can access your digital health portal where you can communicate via video or chat and easily measure your values with sensor-based equipment. The portal also provides reminders about appointments, medication, meals, and exercise.

“Our goal is to increase users’ safety, independence, and quality of life. The health portal allows us to monitor care and rehabilitation more frequently and regularly. It is a good complement to physical home visits and gives users greater involvement in their own health, care, and rehabilitation,” says Christina Wadell, Head of Healthcare in Mölndal City.

Transitioning to good and close care

We see growing interest from many municipalities in transitioning to good and close care. There is a need to supplement traditional care with remote healthcare. Technology enables increased continuity and new contact points with patients and users. Increased safety and independence are key to enabling municipalities to provide care to more people in the future.
