About ThalCare
One record for the whole care pathway
ThalCare is a web-based information management, treatment assistance, telemedicine and networking tool for the critical care of people living with blood disorders. It organises the vast amount of medical data that chronic disease management generates.
A single point of storage for everything about the patient, with reports and indicators on every child and on the centre as a whole.
Prevent
Cascade screening and family carrier-status tracking help prevent the disorder, by identifying vulnerable couples for counselling.
Cure
The system assesses each child’s transplant risk category and indicates suitability for bone marrow transplant.
Centres collaborate with multidisciplinary experts online, and patients stay engaged through the ThalCare mobile app.
