Connected hospital care at home supports better outcomes and patient engagement

Ulla-Britt Jönsson, aged 89, is one of many patients using the technology as part of her ongoing cancer care.

Aleris is expanding the use of connected technology in hospital-at-home services, enabling more patients to receive advanced care in their own homes.

Through a dedicated app, patients report vital health data – such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and weight – directly to the care team. The solution improves medical follow-up and strengthens patient dialogue, while also supporting resource-efficient care delivery.
“We now have fewer phone calls, but better conversations,” says Millan Kilman, coordinator at Aleris Hospital at Home in Handen. “The messaging function in the app allows for clearer communication and more timely responses.”

Technology that supports individual care and system efficiency

The app is part of Aleris’ broader strategy to increase digital access to care and personalise patient experiences. Data reported by patients is continuously monitored and reviewed by care teams, enabling earlier interventions and more informed decision-making.
“Frontline staff are better prepared ahead of visits and already know what each patient needs,” says Roger Larsson, project manager. “It’s a more focused and efficient patient meeting – both clinically and personally.”

Ulla-Britt Jönsson, aged 89, is one of many patients using the technology as part of her ongoing cancer care. “It’s going great,” she says, adding that her initial hesitation quickly turned to confidence as she learned the system.

Hospital care, delivered at home

Aleris ASIH (Advanced Medical Care at Home) provides hospital-equivalent services for patients with complex needs – 24 hours a day, all year round. Multi-professional teams work closely with patients and families to design care plans based on individual needs, while also ensuring smooth transitions between home and inpatient care when needed.

With an ageing population and growing demand for home-based care, digital tools like these support both greater patient involvement and better resource planning – enabling more people to receive the right care in the right place, at the right time.
