Abstract

Blood coagulation time is an important factor to consider for postoperative and cardiac disorder patients who have been prescribed anticoagulant coagulant medications. This chapter describes a patient self-management system for assessment of blood coagulation times and determining appropriate anticoagulant dosages using a test strip device and the Coagu app. This app can also be used as a patient reminder of treatment times and to monitor treatment and effects over time.
