Definition Recovery

Definition Recovery supports patients through their post-operative home recovery journey, providing hospitals with untapped data insights, increased capacity and an improved patient experience.

Definition Recovery – Post-operative patient support

Definition Recovery is a virtual recovery ward that allows patients’ post-surgical progress to be monitored by healthcare teams while they recover in the comfort of their own homes.

The virtual recovery ward enables hospitals to increase their capacity by discharging patients from hospitals earlier and avoids unnecessary outpatient appointments by facilitating remote monitoring.

The intuitive Definition Recovery platform allows the patient to share their progress from home and have their post-operative questions answered online by clinicians.

The hospital reviews information on the same intelligent platform reducing paperwork and enabling data-driven decision-making, to limit post-surgery complications and readmissions.
