Purpose Of The App

The intended use of Medly is to support patients with heart failure. The Medly system consists of a patient-facing application as well as a clinician-facing dashboard.

Medly is intended to help you self-manage your heart failure, improve communication between you and your clinician(s), and to improve clinical management by monitoring and sharing health information. The data shared with your clinician(s) includes weight, blood pressure, heart rate, symptoms, medication, and/or lab results. Medly interfaces with commercially available blood pressure monitors and weight scales to capture your readings. Medly also allows you to enter readings manually.

Your clinician has defined personalized goal parameters for you. Based on your goal parameters, daily measures and symptoms, Medly provides automated feedback to you and shares the data with your clinician. The feedback may tell you to contact the clinic, remind you to take a medication at a dose already prescribed by your clinician, or suggest you visit the Emergency Department.

Regulatory

Medly has been evaluated by Health Canada as a Class II Medical Device for the purpose of monitoring a physiological condition, state of health, or illness within Canada. Medly has not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“USFDA”) or other domestic or foreign regulatory agencies and is not approved to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or for the prescription of any medication or treatment in other jurisdictions.

Disclaimer

The personal information you enter into the application does not become part of your medical record. If you have questions, concerns or corrections regarding the information, please contact your health care team or discuss this with them at your next appointment.

If any information appears incorrect within the application, or if you have any questions regarding your condition, please follow up with your clinician. Never delay obtaining medical advice or disregard medical advice because of something you have or have not read on the application.
