Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Anatomus (Personalised multimedia digital consultation to revolutionise the doctor-patient consultation process.)

Reporting period: 2019-08-01 to 2019-12-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

Problem:
On average, a doctor-patient consultation lasts about 10 minutes in Europe with the patient remembering only 14 % of what was discussed.

Why i it important for society:
The rule of thirds emerges: one third of patients will understand and will adhere to what their doctor or healthcare professional prescribes, one-third will begin to adhere but shortly thereafter cease to adhere, and one third of patients will never adhere to what their healthcare professional prescribes.

Overall Objectives:
The EU-funded project Anatomus provides a software platform that enables patient education, so that patients will gain a stronger understanding of 'what the doctor said', will be more informed, will understand why the doctor is prescribing certain medications, exercises, dietary changes, and as a result, will be more likely to adhere to these prescriptions. During this feasibility study, the primary objective was to carry out a series of tasks that would enable the promotors of Anatomus to strengthen the market fit for Anatomus, and as a result, strengthen the business case for Anatomus regarding fundraising to further the develop Anatomus to disrupt the doctor-patient verbal consultation market.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

End User Engagement: engaged with and trialled Anatomus with 1,000 new patients and healthcare professionals.
Usability Analysis: carried out an in-depth usability analysis of Anaotomus using online surveys, focus groups and think aloud method.
Technical research: developed a 10-page research document on best practices on cloud storage integration with healthcare records using Anatomus.
Regulatory: Researched and analysed regulatory, operational and business model needed to meet payor requirements.
Payment and Pricing Models: Stakeholder engagement and customer interviews yielded solid pricing, marketing and sales strategies.
Business Plan: developed a comprehensive Business Plan utilising the outputs from the feasibility study findings.

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)

Progress beyond the state of the art:
Progress to date has included building on the iterative development of Anatomus.
To date this has involved developing a prototype that is robust and stable, which has been demonstrated and piloted in an operational (hospital) environment.

Progress beyond the expected results until the end of the project:
End user engagement and healthcare practitioner feedback was higher than anticipated. We ended up trialling with 100% more healthcare practitioners and their patients than anticipated.
