NEO Diary

Post-ICU is a digital diary that provides support for anyone who encounters an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Being admitted or having someone you love being admitted to an ICU is a traumatic experience. In more cases than not, a stay in the ICU leaves behind more difficulties than just physical ones. Both patients and their family and friends can experience symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression.

These symptoms are recognized as the Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), or PICS-F for family members. The Post-ICU digital diary enables patients, family, other close relatives and ICU caregivers to write and read simultaneously in a diary. This helps to cope with the traumatic experiences, process difficult feelings, and paints a more complete picture of the ICU admission. 

Post-ICU is an important tool for providing high quality person-centered care and engaging families in care. 

Post-ICU: because aftercare should start at admission.

ICU diaries serve as a valuable intervention that can help reduce the severity and incidence of symptoms associated with PICS. By fostering communication, enhancing memory recall, and providing emotional support, ICU diaries contribute positively to the recovery process for both patients and their families.

📝 Diaries: A Key Component of the A-F Bundle in ICU Care 📝

In critical care settings, the A-F Bundle is fundamental for effective treatment and recovery. Diaries play a crucial role within this framework, providing patients and families with clarity during their ICU journey and aiding in long-term recovery. But in our fast-paced, tech-driven world, the question arises: Are paper diaries still the optimal choice?

📱 Why Digital Diaries Are the Future:

- Enhanced Security: Digital diaries ensure secure storage of sensitive patient information, reducing the risk of loss or unauthorized access.
- Ease of Access: Digital platforms allow real-time access and updates to diaries from anywhere by healthcare providers, patients, and families.
- Better Collaboration: Seamless collaboration among care teams is facilitated by digital diaries, ensuring everyone stays informed.
- Environmentally Friendly: Shifting to digital diaries eliminates paper waste, promoting sustainable healthcare practices.

Integrating digital diaries into the A-F Bundle not only upholds the essence of storytelling and documentation but also enhances them with contemporary efficiency and safety standards. Embracing technology is not just an option; it's a necessity as we strive to advance patient care. Let's explore how we can incorporate digital diaries into ICU practices, fostering a safer and more connected care experience.
