Dräger Companion med is the digital companion for people who are pursuing their path to abstinence. Dräger Companion med supports them with a combination of app and breathalyzer and can give those affected self-control, security and motivation.
With the mobile Dräger Companion med app, patients can set an individual test schedule for breath alcohol tests together with their therapy contact if they wish.
This also specifically complements the collaboration with the responsible therapist or doctor, as they can view test results via a web application and are therefore always informed.
The number of daily tests can be varied in consultation with the therapist or doctor. The app and breathalyzer offer therapists a constant connection to their patients and discreet monitoring.
Emergency contacts are stored in the app. In the event of a positive test result or low confidence in abstinence, a suggestion is made to call a contact with one click.
As a supplement to standard therapy, the Dräger Companion med app helps to improve relapse prevention through relapse management.
First, the Dräger Companion med app is installed on the smartphone and connected to the Dräger Companion 4me breathalyzer. Users are then guided through the process step by step.
A breath alcohol test is due? A push message from the app sends a reminder.
Now the breathalyzer is started at the touch of a button and connected to the app in just a few steps.
Time for a breath test: Users point the front camera at their face to take an automatic photo as proof.
The result is directly available and can be viewed. Users are also asked to assess their confidence in abstinence.
The team at BAYOOMED, our YOOme partner, developed a cross-platform app for Dräger Companion med using Xamarin Forms. This establishes the connection to external hardware (BLE), the Dräger Companion 4me breathalyzer.
In addition, the BAYOOCARE team supports Dräger in the verification and testing of the app as well as in the areas of risk management and cybersecurity.
