Apptitrator

Apptitrator®

Apptitrator® is a digital platform created to simplify the cardiac medication titration process for both clinicians and patients.

The platform connects a clinician-facing administration panel with a patient mobile application. Patients record daily health information, including blood pressure, heart rate, weight, medication adherence and side effects. Clinicians can then review this information, assess progress and determine the appropriate next step.

By keeping patients informed and giving clinical teams visibility throughout each phase, Apptitrator® supports a more structured and coordinated approach to medication optimisation.

Apptitrator® guides patients through each stage of their cardiac medication titration while allowing clinicians to review progress and remain responsible for treatment decisions.

 

The platform supports the complete titration cycle:

• Patient registration and onboarding
• Daily health and medication reporting
• Clinical assessment and review
• Medication or dosage updates
• Continued monitoring
• Completion of titration

Each patient’s home screen reflects their current treatment phase, prescribed medication and latest recorded readings, helping them understand what they need to do and what happens next.

1. Industry context and challenge

Cardiac medication titration often requires repeated monitoring and regular communication between patients and clinical teams.

Clinicians need accurate information about a patient’s blood pressure, heart rate, weight, medication adherence and possible side effects before deciding whether treatment should be adjusted.

Patients, meanwhile, need clear instructions about:

• Which medication to take
• When to submit readings
• How to collect measurements correctly
• Whether their treatment has changed
• What to expect during the next phase

Key challenges

• Health readings may be collected through disconnected or manual processes
• Clinicians may have limited visibility between appointments
• Patients may be uncertain about their current medication or treatment stage
• Incorrect or incomplete readings can delay clinical review
• Side effects and medication adherence may not be reported consistently
• Repeated communication can increase the administrative burden on clinical teams
• Patients may require additional support when taking readings at home
• Treatment updates can be difficult to communicate clearly and promptly

2. Solution: Apptitrator®

Apptitrator® creates a shared digital workflow between the patient and clinical team.

The platform enables patients to submit structured daily health records from home. Once the required entries have been completed, clinicians can review the results and decide whether to progress treatment, continue monitoring or amend incorrect information.

Core value proposition

• Structure the medication titration process
• Improve visibility of patient progress
• Support consistent collection of health information
• Keep patients informed throughout treatment
• Reduce reliance on fragmented communication
• Support clinician-led and evidence-informed decisions
• Provide accessible guidance for patients using the application

3. Clinician administration panel

The clinician administration panel provides a central location for managing patients throughout their titration journey.

Clinicians can view patients whose treatment is:

• Pending review
• In progress
• Completed

Patient registration

Before treatment begins, the clinician creates the patient’s profile and records relevant information, including:

• NHS number
• Name and contact details
• Date of birth
• Gender
• Height
• Relevant comorbidities
• Atrial Fibrillation status
• Current medication
• Intended method of app access

Once registered, the patient automatically receives an email invitation to create a password and access the application.

Impact

• Creates a consistent onboarding process
• Keeps patient and medication information in one location
• Reduces manual account setup and invitation steps
• Ensures patients begin with an established treatment record

4. Patient onboarding and home screen

During their first login, patients are shown important information about the application and directed to the Guide section.

The home screen clearly displays:

• The patient’s current titration phase
• Medication prescribed during that phase
• Number of completed daily entries
• Most recent blood pressure reading
• Most recent heart rate reading
• Clinical updates and next steps

Impact

• Gives patients a clear view of their treatment journey
• Reduces uncertainty about current medication
• Helps patients understand what action is required
• Keeps important information accessible in one place

5. Daily health monitoring

Patients complete a structured daily health check through the application.

Each entry can include:

• Date and time
• Systolic blood pressure
• Diastolic blood pressure
• Heart rate
• Weight
• Confirmation of medication adherence
• Reported side effects

Patients can also access step-by-step guidance explaining how to take blood pressure and heart rate readings correctly.

Problems addressed

• Inconsistent collection of patient readings
• Missing information about medication adherence
• Limited reporting of treatment-related side effects
• Incorrect measurement techniques
• Difficulty identifying trends between clinical reviews

Impact

• Standardises the information submitted by patients
• Gives clinicians a clearer view of treatment progress
• Encourages patients to participate actively in their care
• Helps clinical teams assess readings alongside adherence and side effects

6. Clinical review and decision-making

After a patient completes the required entries for a phase, the results become available in the clinician panel.

Clinicians can review:

• Daily blood pressure and heart rate readings
• Weight records
• Medication adherence
• Reported side effects
• Health records
• An assessment recommendation

The clinician remains responsible for reviewing the information and determining the next action.

Available actions

Amend Inputs

Clinicians can correct information when a reading appears to have been entered incorrectly.

Accept Assessment Result

The clinician can accept the assessment, complete the current phase and move the patient to the next stage. The patient’s home screen and medication information are then updated.

Monitor and Review

The clinician can keep the patient in the current phase to collect additional readings or observe a developing trend before making a decision.

Impact

• Keeps clinical decisions within a controlled review process
• Supports the identification and correction of inaccurate entries
• Allows additional monitoring where evidence is insufficient
• Creates a clear record of each phase and decision
• Supports consistency across the titration pathway

7. Treatment updates and ongoing titration

When a clinician completes a review, the patient receives a clinical update within the application.

The update may include:

• A change in medication dosage
• The addition of another medication
• A request to continue monitoring
• Progression to another titration phase
• Confirmation that titration is complete

The medication section updates automatically so that the patient can see the plan associated with their current phase.

This cycle continues until the clinical team confirms that titration has been completed.

Impact

• Communicates changes directly to the patient
• Reduces confusion caused by outdated treatment information
• Keeps the patient aware of the next required action
• Maintains continuity between each titration phase

8. Patient education and support

Apptitrator® includes dedicated Guide and Info sections to help patients use the platform and understand key aspects of their treatment.

Guide section

Patients can access instructions in multiple formats:

• Video tutorial
• Illustrated written guide
• Audio walkthrough

Info section

The health reference library includes information such as:

• How to take blood pressure correctly
• Which side effects to be aware of
• Additional health and application guidance

Content can be searched or browsed whenever the patient needs support.

Impact

• Supports different accessibility and learning preferences
• Helps patients feel more confident using the application
• Provides guidance outside normal appointment times
• Encourages more accurate home monitoring
