Choosing bariatric surgery for weight loss is a very important decision. Beyond the issue of surgery, it also requires significant change in your eating habits and lifestyle. And it takes time-up to two years for full weight loss and improved health. For such a commitment, you will need to be armed with information, support, and tools that can help you make the right decisions regarding your health and achieve good health outcomes.

Phoenix Care is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use web application designed specifically for bariatric surgery clinics and their patients. It allows patients like you to have easy access to important information about your health, giving you the data you need to make better health decisions and improve the outcomes of your bariatric surgery and weight loss.

The Phoenix Care Patient Portal provides a two-way communication link between you and your entire bariatric care team-the surgeon, the nurses, the care manager, the nutritionist, the psychologist, the exercise physiologist, and others. You can communicate privately and securely with any care team member, asking questions any time day or night. And as a patient, you are not alone; you can join the Phoenix Care community and its support groups to chat with others facing the same issues you are facing.

Phoenix Care integrates with home telehealth medical devices-such as blood pressure monitors and scales-to accurately record and upload your data. You can then monitor the results. The patient portal allows you to access all of your laboratory, medication, and nutritional analysis information to give you a comprehensive picture of your health and progress during the weight loss process.

Phoenix Care is an important tool for your bariatric care team that allows them to manage your care, communicate with you, and collaborate within the care team. It is the only application that provides your bariatric team a comprehensive clinical and behavioral view of you as a weight-loss patient from pre-surgery approval through post-surgical follow-ups. With access to all of this data, your bariatric team can interact with you and with other team members and work with you when necessary to achieve better health and weight-loss outcomes. They can monitor any co-morbid conditions, assess your nutritional patterns, and provide educational or support outreach when necessary.
