A single appointment only ever shows one moment in time. How a patient is doing between sessions often stays invisible – and decisions then rest on memory rather than data. This is exactly where HBImed Therapy Tracking comes in: the tool accompanies patients between appointments and turns individual snapshots into a picture of their development. Developed by the GTSG (Brain and Trauma Foundation Grison/Switzerland) and made available through HBImed.
Set up once, measure week after week
The practice sets up the tracking once – after that it runs automatically. A short questionnaire goes out at a recurring interval, for example weekly. It is sent by SMS and email at the same time so the invitation reliably arrives; a test send beforehand confirms that everything works. For the practice this means a one-time setup, followed by continuous measurement without extra effort.
Completed without a login – in just a few minutes
Patients open the questionnaire with a personal magic link – no password, straight on their phone. It is immediately clear who it is for, which week it covers and how long it takes. The questions are short and tappable, with scales from 1 to 10; the therapy goal stays visible throughout. A progress indicator and a saveable draft ensure that as many measurement points as possible actually come in.
The trend curve at the heart of it
Every answer is added to the trend. The practice is notified automatically and immediately sees how the new value fits into the development so far. Individual measurement points become a curve over weeks and months. Conspicuous values and trends are flagged – instead of getting lost in row 47 of a spreadsheet. That is the real benefit: not just measuring, but making the trend readable and drawing attention at the right moment.
Reliable response rates
Measuring regularly is only the beginning – the benefit comes from what follows: a reliable response rate. SMS and email run in parallel, and automatic, friendly reminders reach those who have not yet answered. The result is a trend that is as complete as possible and that clinical decisions can rely on.
Standalone – and yet under one roof
HBImed Therapy Tracking is a standalone product: it can be used on its own and measures the course of therapy over time. At the same time it shares the HBImed roof with the Questionnaire App – one practice login, one superadmin, and each practice is enabled for whichever tool it uses. Here, too: data kept in Switzerland, HIN-compatible, compliant with the Swiss DSG and the GDPR, and multilingual.
Anyone who wants to make the course of therapy visible and base decisions on data rather than memory will find a unique practice aid in HBImed Therapy Tracking. Learn more about Therapy Tracking →
