Illustrative cases

A clearer picture of every signal

The people, measurements and timelines below are fictional examples, not actual patients or measured Medifonics outcomes. They show how a team might review a reported change.

Oncology

Fever after chemotherapy

Ayşe K. · 52 · Day 6 after chemotherapy

Situation: Ayşe answers a scheduled call while resting at home. She says her fatigue, which started this morning, has increased since yesterday.
Signal detected: Her measured temperature is 38.4 °C and nausea is 7/10. The call is logged at 10:15. In this example, the values trigger a high-priority alert defined by the clinical team.
Team action: In the example workflow, an oncology nurse calls back at 10:40 and arranges a same-day clinical assessment. The clinician makes the diagnosis and treatment decision.

Cardiology

Weight change in heart failure

Mehmet T. · 67 · Day 9 after discharge

Situation: Mehmet weighs himself at home and shares three morning readings during the follow-up call: 78.0 → 78.9 → 80.1 kg.
Signal detected: A 2.1 kg increase in three days comes with needing two pillows at night and worsening breathlessness on stairs. The trend is brought to the cardiology team's attention.
Team action: In the example workflow, a nurse reassesses his symptoms that day; a physician decides whether an earlier review or medication adjustment is needed. The system never changes doses itself.

Surgical follow-up

Change at a surgical wound

Elif D. · 44 · Day 5 after surgery

Situation: Elif tells the routine phone follow-up that the skin around her wound looks redder than yesterday and she noticed discharge while changing the dressing.
Signal detected: Her pain score rose from 3/10 yesterday to 6/10 today; reported temperature is 37.9 °C. Increased pain and discharge together are flagged for clinical review in this example.
Team action: In the example workflow, the surgical team arranges a same-day examination rather than waiting for the routine appointment. The system does not diagnose an infection.

COPD

Worsening respiratory symptoms

Hasan Y. · 71 · COPD monitoring

Situation: Hasan reports that for two days he has been unable to finish his usual walk and his cough has become more frequent.
Signal detected: On his own scale, breathlessness increased from 4/10 to 7/10; he also reports a change in sputum color. The system summarizes the trend and reported symptoms for the team.
Team action: In the example workflow, the respiratory team speaks with him the same day and plans a clinical review; a healthcare professional decides whether urgent referral is necessary.
