Digital Support
This page is for anyone working in general practice who wants to explore digital tools and apps that can help people manage their own health and wellbeing.
Whether you are looking for resources to share with people, or you want a better understanding of what is available currently in Dorset, you’ll find a range of options and training below.
Long Term Condition Supported Self Management
Luscii is the Dorset-wide digital monitoring app for blood pressure management at home. Patients can take their readings in the comfort of their own home and share them directly with their clinical team.
Readings are automatically shared via the app, meaning your team only needs to act when intervention is needed, rather than managing routine check-ins. For practices, this frees up appointment time and phone capacity while keeping people with hypertension well monitored.
Luscii replaces the previous BP@Home and Viso systems.

Population Health Management
Population Health Management (PHM) is helping us understand our current and future health and care requirements so we can tailor bettecare and support and provide more joined up and sustainable health and care services and make better use of public resources.

MJog
MJog is a patient messaging platform, used by GP practices across Dorset. It allows practice teams to send appointment reminders, health campaign messages and more directly to their patients by text. Integrated with clinical systems, it can save time for both patients and practice staff.
