More Sandbox Patients
Sandbox patients are intended to mimic real patients, with profiles and cases that are artificially generated. Our team created them to be representative of real patients. Let's walk through a case review to illuminate how Particle's insights can supercharge your workflows so you can put your focus back on the patient.
Freda is a 30 year old otherwise healthy female. She has been visiting multiple urgent care centers over the past year for a persistent nonproductive cough, which has not resolved despite various treatments. Each visit has been to a different clinic with different providers, leading to a lack of continuity of care and incomplete medical records. Initially, her symptoms were mild with a dry cough and throat irritation. However, they progressed to include hoarseness, intermittent fever, and difficulty swallowing. Ultimately, she is diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
Artie is a 73 year old "retired marathon runner" for whom the onset of back pain and sciatica several years ago began to hinder his active lifestyle and gradually worsened over time. Artie had always been health-conscious, but after developing degenerative disc disease, his condition became a constant barrier to the life he once enjoyed. With each year, the pain has spread further, radiating down his left leg, a hallmark symptom of sciatica.
This patient allows us to explore realistic oncology workflows, balancing chronic disease management with aggressive cancer treatment, while emphasizing the complexity of managing co-morbidities. It highlights how chronic diseases like diabetes and CKD must be tightly controlled, particularly when managing the side effects of aggressive cancer therapies.
This patient has been living with type 2 diabetes for over a decade, a condition that has shaped much of her journey. While her diabetes is moderately controlled, managing it alongside hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity has presented ongoing challenges. The data showcases critical lab and vital sign trends, medication history and care gaps, e.g. overdue for HbA1c or microalbumin testing, and dilated eye exam.
