Bariatric Surgery Case Study: Kael Sangnam

Bariatric Surgery Case Study: Kael Sangnam

Background:

Kael Sangnam, a 37-year-old with a BMI of 34.7, had been struggling with several health issues, including sleep apnea, shortness of breath, and persistent back pain. Despite various attempts to manage her weight, these health conditions continued to affect her quality of life. Realizing that these conditions were closely linked to her weight, Kael decided to undergo a gastric sleeve procedure to improve her health and overall well-being.

Name: Kael Sangnam
Age: 37 Years
Initial Weight: 90 kg
Height: 161 cm
BMI: 34.7
Operation Date: March 5, 2024
Procedure: Gastric Sleeve
Surgeon: Dr. Ratchamon P.
Location: Bangkok, Thailand

The Procedure:

On March 5, 2024, Kael underwent a gastric sleeve procedure performed by Dr. Ratchamon P. at a renowned medical facility Pat Ransit Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. The surgery involved reducing the size of Kael's stomach, significantly limiting her food intake and promoting weight loss. The operation was successfully completed with no complications, and Kael was closely monitored throughout her recovery.

Post-Operative Progress:

Following the surgery, Kael experienced a remarkable transformation. In just five months, she lost 30 kg, bringing her weight down to 60 kg and reducing her BMI to 23.1. The weight loss led to significant improvements in her health. Her back pain disappeared, and her sleep apnea was resolved, allowing her to sleep soundly without interruptions.

Kael reported that the surgery had a minimal impact on her daily life. She experienced no pain from the surgical wounds, which healed quickly. She was able to walk and perform light activities while still in the hospital, which contributed to a swift recovery. The five small incisions on her abdomen healed rapidly, leaving minimal scarring.

Remote Patient Monitoring:

To ensure continuous support and optimal post-operative care, Kael was enrolled in Taqtik Health's Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program. This program allowed her to monitor her progress closely, tracking her vital signs, weight, and overall well-being in real-time. Kael appreciated the additional layer of support, saying,

"The Remote Patient Monitoring has been a game-changer for me. Knowing that I can track my own progress and share this with my doctor gives me peace of mind. It’s reassuring to have that level of care, even after leaving the hospital."

Feedback and Outlook:

Reflecting on her experience, Kael shared,

"I underwent this surgery because of my sleep apnea and shortness of breath, and I also had severe back pain. But after losing weight from 90 kg to 60 kg, my back pain disappeared, and my sleep issues are gone. The doctor told me that the first six months after the surgery are the golden period for weight loss, and I might reach my final weight of around 50-55 kg. That’s so amazing."

Kael’s journey demonstrates the life-changing potential of bariatric surgery, especially when combined with a commitment to a healthier lifestyle and the support of advanced tools like Remote Patient Monitoring. Her story highlights the importance of choosing a skilled surgical team and receiving comprehensive care, both of which were provided by Taqtik Health.

Conclusion:

Kael Sangnam's case is a testament to the effectiveness of gastric sleeve surgery in addressing obesity-related health issues and improving overall quality of life. With the support of Taqtik Health, Dr. Ratchamon P., and the RPM program, Kael was able to achieve significant weight loss and experience a dramatic improvement in her health. As she continues her journey, Kael is optimistic about reaching her target weight and maintaining her newfound well-being.

Diabetes management

Remote Patient Monitoring: A Game-Changer in Diabetes Management

In the face of a global diabetes epidemic, with the International Diabetes Federation estimating 537 million adults living with this condition worldwide in 2021 and projecting a rise to 643 million by 2030, innovative solutions like Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) are more critical than ever. Taqtik Health leverages RPM technology to transform diabetes management, offering a new pathway to better health outcomes for millions.

The Rise of Diabetes: A Global Challenge

Diabetes, particularly type 2, has emerged as one of the most significant global health emergencies of the 21st century. This condition not only imposes a substantial burden on individuals but also places immense strain on healthcare systems worldwide. The challenge lies not just in the number of affected individuals but in the complications associated with diabetes, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and blindness, necessitating a proactive and comprehensive approach to management.

Enter Remote Patient Monitoring

RPM technology stands at the forefront of this battle, providing a revolutionary approach to diabetes care. This technology allows healthcare providers to monitor patients’ health data in real-time, enabling immediate adjustments to treatment plans and lifestyle recommendations based on glucose levels, dietary intake, and physical activity. RPM offers several distinct advantages in managing diabetes:

  • Personalized Care: Tailors management plans to individual patient needs, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments and interventions.
  • Proactive Intervention: Identifies potential issues before they escalate into serious complications, significantly improving patient outcomes.
  • Enhanced Accessibility: Makes it easier for patients, particularly those in remote or underserved regions, to access high-quality diabetes care.
  • Increased Patient Engagement: Encourages patients to take an active role in their health management, leading to better compliance and health behaviors.

The Taqtik Health Approach

At Taqtik Health, we understand that managing diabetes goes beyond just monitoring blood sugar levels. It involves a holistic approach to health, incorporating lifestyle and dietary modifications, regular physical activity, and medication management. Our RPM platform integrates seamlessly with a range of devices, including glucose meters and fitness trackers, to provide a comprehensive view of a patient’s health.

Our platform also facilitates better communication between patients and healthcare providers, enabling timely feedback and adjustments to treatment plans. By harnessing the power of data analytics, we can identify patterns and trends in patient health, informing more effective management strategies and preventive measures.

The Impact of RPM on Diabetes Management

The effectiveness of RPM in diabetes management has been demonstrated in numerous studies, showing significant improvements in glycemic control among patients using RPM technologies. These improvements are attributed to better adherence to treatment plans, increased patient engagement, and the ability of providers to customize care based on real-time data.

Furthermore, RPM has been shown to reduce the need for in-person clinic visits, making diabetes care more convenient for patients and reducing the burden on healthcare systems. This shift not only enhances the efficiency of diabetes management but also contributes to higher patient satisfaction rates.

Looking Ahead

As the global diabetes epidemic continues to grow, the role of innovative technologies like RPM in managing this condition becomes increasingly vital. Taqtik Health is at the forefront of this revolution, providing cutting-edge solutions to improve the lives of those living with diabetes. By embracing RPM, we can achieve better health outcomes, reduce the incidence of complications, and ultimately, turn the tide in the battle against diabetes.

In conclusion, remote patient monitoring represents a beacon of hope in the fight against diabetes. By offering personalized, proactive, and patient-centered care, RPM empowers both healthcare providers and patients to manage diabetes more effectively, paving the way for a healthier future.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM): Revolutionizing Postoperative Care for Bariatric Surgery

The landscape of bariatric surgery is evolving, with technological advancements like Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) leading the charge in enhancing patient outcomes and operational efficiencies. Taqtik Health delves into the transformative impact of RPM on bariatric surgery, underscoring its potential to redefine patient care and success in the long term.

Elevating Patient Safety and Success

RPM technology has proven to be a game-changer in the realm of outpatient bariatric surgery, particularly for procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy. This minimally invasive approach, which has become increasingly popular, benefits significantly from RPM's ability to provide continuous, real-time monitoring. Studies have shown that RPM facilitates high adherence to monitoring protocols, even among high-risk patients, thereby elevating patient safety and the overall success rates of bariatric procedures​​.

The value of RPM extends beyond the immediate postoperative period, offering benefits like reduced emergency presentations, hospital admissions, and lengths of stay for various conditions. For bariatric surgery patients, specifically, RPM can play a crucial role in the continuity of care, ensuring that patients receive the necessary support and intervention promptly, which is vital for their long-term weight management and overall health​​. Reference.

Reducing Healthcare Costs Through Outpatient Care

The transition towards outpatient settings for bariatric surgery, supported by RPM, is not just a testament to the safety and effectiveness of such procedures but also a cost-effective move. By minimizing the need for hospital stays, RPM enables significant healthcare cost savings, making bariatric surgery accessible to a broader range of patients​​.

Continuous Care and Long-term Success

The benefits of RPM extend beyond the immediate postoperative phase. It plays a crucial role in ensuring continuous care, significantly reducing the rates of emergency visits, hospital readmissions, and length of stay for complications. For bariatric patients, RPM offers a seamless continuity of care, crucial for long-term weight management and overall health improvement​​.

One study highlighted the successful implementation of RPM in an outpatient setting for bariatric surgery, specifically sleeve gastrectomy, which is the most performed bariatric procedure in the U.S. This approach demonstrated high levels of adherence to monitoring protocols, even in patients considered higher risk, such as those with obstructive sleep apnea. By utilizing RPM technology, healthcare providers were able to perform surgeries in an outpatient setting without compromising patient safety. This not only reduced the need for hospital stays but also showed potential for significant cost savings, making it a viable option for more patients​​. Reference

The Future of Bariatric Surgery with RPM

RPM's integration into bariatric care signifies a shift towards more personalized, responsive healthcare delivery. It highlights the potential of technology to improve the quality and accessibility of care for patients undergoing life-changing procedures like bariatric surgery.

As healthcare continues to embrace digital transformations, RPM stands out as a pioneering solution in the journey towards more efficient, patient-centered care. Taqtik Health remains at the forefront, exploring and implementing innovative solutions like RPM to enhance patient experiences and outcomes in bariatric surgery and beyond.

In conclusion, RPM is more than just a technological innovation; it's a pathway to safer, more effective, and cost-efficient bariatric care. As the healthcare industry moves forward, the adoption and integration of such technologies will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of bariatric surgery and patient care at large.

Dr. Sergio del Hoyo

Dr. Sergio del Hoyo: Premier Bariatric Surgeon in Puerto Vallarta, MX

Dr. Sergio del Hoyo. Embarking on a weight loss journey through surgical intervention is both a significant and life-altering decision. Weight loss surgery not only mitigates the health complications related to obesity but also operates through two primary mechanisms:

  1. Restriction - By surgically reducing the stomach's capacity, the amount of food intake is naturally limited, subsequently curbing the calorie consumption.
  2. Malabsorption - Certain procedures modify or bypass a segment of the small intestine, which decreases calorie and nutrient absorption.

Given an individual's medical background, a surgeon can advise the most appropriate procedure. Typically, the surgery entails about five days, and due to its laparoscopic approach, the surgical incisions remain minimal. Such minimally invasive techniques can undoubtedly propel one towards a healthier life trajectory.

He embarked on his illustrious medical journey in Guadalajara, MX, delving deep into Obesity Surgery and Metabolic Disorders.

He also caters to a myriad of ailments, from gallbladder issues, hemorrhoids, gastritis to hernias. Operating primarily at the renowned CMQ Premiere Hospital, Dr. del Hoyo's reputation stems from his exceptional healthcare delivery amalgamated with his genuine patient care. His holistic approach is bolstered by a dedicated team comprising nutritionists, endoscopists, and anesthetists.

AI/ML Innovations’ Health Gauge Partners with TaqTik Health to Address Obesity

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 23, 2023 / AI/ML Innovations Inc. (CSE:AIML)(OTCQB:AIMLF)(FWB:42FB), a company committed to acquiring and advancing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies that address urgent societal needs, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Health Gauge Inc., has entered into a Letter of Intent with the Silicon Valley-based TaqTik Health, Inc to pilot an AI-enhanced health & wellness remote monitoring solution for obesity patients.

Upon the successful conclusion of the pilot study, Health Gauge and TaqTik intend to enter a commercial arrangement to continue to utilize the Health Gauge solution to help improve the outcome for TaqTik's patients.

Pilot Study: This multi-phased pilot is a collaboration between bariatric surgeons and specialists in Mexico and Asia, Health Gauge, and TaqTik Health - a global provider focused on supporting its 35,000 remote obesity patient subscribers at home with concierge health coaching. The pilot is already well underway in Mexico and will roll out with other bariatric partners in Asia in the months ahead, including patients being treated with bariatric surgery and other obesity treatments.

Health Gauge's proprietary digital health monitoring & management platform, which is provided through the HG Phoenix wearable and smartphone app, forms the technological backbone for the monitoring of the global bariatric patients involved in the pilot. The unique solution provides pilot participants with 1:1 support from TaqTik health coaches and Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon Dr. Humberto Solis, who is the head surgeon at Gastro & Bariatric Clinic and co-founder of the Gastric and Bariatric foundation in Los Cabos, Mexico. The pilot patients in Mexico have had sleeve gastrectomy and bari-clip procedures.

The pilot objective is to support lifestyle modification and sustain weight loss for medical travelers and remote patients following weight loss surgery and other bariatric treatments. Determinants of program success will focus on overall engagement and weight loss.

Global obesity rates have tripled since 1975, with one billion people globally estimated to be living with obesity by 2030. In 2021, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (AMMBS) still considered metabolic/bariatric surgery the most effective and long-lasting treatment for severe obesity resulting in significant weight loss and the improvement, prevention, or resolution of many related diseases, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, sleep apnea, and certain cancers.

"This innovative pilot brings together an experienced group of partners with interest in improving affordable accessibility for bariatric surgery (whether local or overseas) while leveraging tech and touch to streamline remote post-care support to improve obesity patient success rates," said TaqTik President, Mr. Yasuhiro Hashimoto, M.D.

"Access to digital health solutions that blend cutting-edge technology with personalized, human support is what we see as being the key to helping people reach and maintain health and lifestyle goals," added Randy Duguay, CEO of Health Gauge. "TaqTik and Health Gauge share a vision of making it easier for people to coordinate and stay engaged with their clinicians and healthcare support team no matter where they are, and that is why we're excited about this landmark pilot partnership. It's a great example of what can happen when the digital health sector works directly with consumer-facing companies to address and prevent global obesity."

From scheduling an appointment with a TaqTik health consultant, booking a vertical teleconsultation with a top surgeon or specialist to booking a surgery or treatment date in over 25 destinations, the purpose of on-demand healthcare is that patients can use these services instantly and easily whenever and wherever they want, through smart mobile devices.

"On-demand healthcare consumers are much more willing to pay private clinics and travel domestically or internationally to get access to life-changing surgeries and treatments," says Rachel Rowling, COO of TaqTik. "The alternative is waiting on long waiting lists for publicly funded surgery that further inhibits the quality of life, causing long-term costs for both patients and taxpayers".
