Skin infections
Luscii provides the tools for patient and professional to keep an eye on the recovery while checking vital signs and symptoms to signal deteriorations and intervene timely in case of need.
What is the aim of the program?
- The program is designed to allow patients with a skin infection to go home earlier from the department.
- By participating in home monitoring, they are admitted for a shorter period.
- This group of patients is generally not very sick from the skin infection, but does need the IV antibiotics,
How does it work?
This program is designed to facilitate early home discharge for patients receiving intravenous (IV) antibiotics for skin infections. Typically, a course of IV antibiotics lasts for 5 days. We aim to discharge patients on day 1 or 2, providing them with a portable elastomeric pump for their infusion needs. This pump is replaced daily by a home care nurse.
Patients are required to regularly input their health data into the Luscii app. For the first two days, data entry occurs twice daily and once daily thereafter. This process allows for continuous remote monitoring of the patient's condition.
In consultation with the patient and their internist, the duration of IV therapy is determined. Once it is safe to discontinue IV antibiotics, home care is notified to remove the infusion. The patient then transitions to oral antibiotics and continues to use the app for an additional two days.
At the end of this period, remote monitoring concludes with a final phone consultation with the patient to ensure their recovery is progressing well.

Patient
It's a great method. Indeed, I'd rather be at home than in a hospital. But it still remains a compromise; sometimes I think, 'It would be nice if a doctor could come and check on me.' However, the benefits are much greater.
