Developed based on experience accumulated in partnership with the pharmaceutical company Roche

SAP unveiled SAP Health Engagement, a new solution that connects patients, doctors, and healthcare professionals in real time.

SAP’s Health Engagement, which helps healthcare service providers, insurers, and pharmaceutical companies build flexible, customized applications, is characterized by enabling patients to monitor their own health status based on self-set goals while simultaneously analyzing chronic diseases or pathological conditions.



In addition, it is expected that real-time data and ultra-high-speed analysis will immediately connect patients with healthcare professionals, enabling rapid diagnosis and treatment, thereby improving treatment outcomes and lowering medical costs.

Previously, SAP partnered with Roche Diabetes Care Germany, the German subsidiary of the global pharmaceutical company Roche, to develop 'SAP Health Link,' a solution that helps prevent diabetes.

SAP's Health Link remotely connects healthcare professionals with patients at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (T2D) through digital services, enabling patients to self-care their daily blood sugar levels from anywhere in their daily lives. It supports patients in conveniently improving their lifestyle habits.

The Health Engagement Solution unveiled by SAP was developed based on experience accumulated during the operation of Health Link and user feedback, and aims to provide a toolkit that can be used to create flexible, customized applications for all types of chronic diseases. In addition, the Health Engagement Solution can be utilized in areas related to patient participation in clinical trials and personalized home care.

The key details of the SAP Health Engagement unveiled this time are as follows.

▲ Patient-based data collection
Patient-based wearable sensor data collected using a mobile application is synchronized in real time. Wearable sensor data can be integrated with the application via Bluetooth using methods such as Apple's HealthKit or native integration. Users can easily onboard by scanning a unique QR code on the mobile application to automatically transmit data from the backend database to the mobile device.

▲ Secure transmission and storage of medical information
Based on the SAP HANA cloud platform, it enables ultra-high-speed in-memory data analysis for research purposes, allowing for the rapid formulation of new hypotheses under strict conditions that guarantee high levels of data security and personal information protection. Patients can directly manage their own medical information and grant access rights to others.

▲ Easy program management
Program managers can establish customized healthcare management programs that expand and improve self-care. This program supports patients in leading healthier lives by collecting (anonymous) information necessary for the use of mobile healthcare applications and the derivation of insights into better research results.

"This new solution has the potential to enhance and personalize collaboration between doctors and patients for all types of chronic diseases," said Dirk Uebelhör, Head of Roche's Diabetes Management business unit.

Werner Eberhardt, Head of Personalized Medicine at SAP, stated, “SAP is advancing technology to improve patients’ lives while enabling them to be at the center of their healthcare. Health engagement solutions support healthcare companies in developing applications that help manage patients’ chronic diseases and provide personalized home care to encourage participation in clinical trials. By keeping patients and doctors constantly connected, these solutions help facilitate more effective health management.”
