Elsa Science strongly believes that the management of chronic care can be improved by true, structured involvement of the patient. Patients’ everyday knowledge and insights about their symptoms can help inform the healthcare system and enable earlier diagnoses as well as more timely and personalised treatment decisions. Through our Rheumatic Care solution, we capture this data, making it accessible to the right part of the healthcare system at the right time.
We are committed to developing new kinds of collaboration tools and services for patients, healthcare providers and payers. By tailoring them to rheumatic diseases, we ensure relevance for all users and stakeholders, as such complementing current care practices and improving future care.
Elsa Science is a catalyst for value-based rheumatic care by empowering patients to adopt better health behaviors, helping providers improve treat-to-target and supporting the healthcare system to enhance care quality while reducing costs. Here’s how:
Diagnostic delay [3] is one of the current challenges in rheumatology. Rheumatic symptoms such as joint pain are hard to evaluate for patients and health-care providers [4-6]. Patients often wait too long before seeking treatment as they believe that the symptoms will resolve themselves [7] or be relieved through their own self-care [8].
Elsa Rheumatic? is a symptom checker tool, developed together with patients, health-care professionals and designers, to better support individuals to seek treatment at an early stage of disease onset. By capturing patients’ symptoms, Elsa Rheumatic can:

Chronic disease control and outcomes are strongly linked to the efficacy of patients’ self-management. Using the Self Care app, patients can track and monitor symptoms, habits and medications, as well as access educational support and health programs. Engaging patients via the self-care app will:

A treat-to-target strategy, including a specific remission-based goal, is thought to be effective because it encourages healthcare practitioners to apply tight control and be flexible in modifying the treatment plan.
Tight control is achieved through frequent assessment of patients’ status against measurable benchmarks of disease activity level to monitor the efficacy and safety of a new treatment.
The Clinical Dashboard gives providers access to real-time patient reported outcomes, as such enhancing the level of monitoring and assessment required to achieve tight control and thus strengthening the treat-to-target strategy. Facilitating the collaboration between healthcare professionals and patients can:
