Why Did We Make the DBS Caretrek App?
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a very sophisticated surgery and requires many steps. Each patient's experience is slightly different based on their condition. Due to this complex process, our patients are often overwhelmed by the amount of information. Our app or application offers detailed descriptions and reminders for each visit.
