CHES:UMH
Digital patient survey for patient-centered medicine at the UMH

The CHES:UMH app (Computer-based Health Evaluation System (CHES)) was developed by Evaluation Software Development GmbH (ESD) in cooperation with the University Medical Center Halle (Saale) (UMH) and is used to document subjective patient data and/or other medical information as part of studies at the UMH. Using the app, patients can access specific information about their illness, complete questionnaires from home, and use additional tools such as a chat function with the treatment team, a video consultation, or a medication plan to complement their in-patient treatment. This enables the treatment team to collect and evaluate valuable patient information for individualized treatment and to ensure personalized care even outside of the hospital stay.

The target group of this app is UMH patients who have been integrated into the CHES application by the respective project team during their treatment. Project-specific instructions for using CHES are provided by the respective project staff.
