Smart Monitor and Velocitos are collaborating to deliver a comprehensive disease and patient nurturing solution that includes tracking patients’ state of health using a wearable device and intelligently responding by automatically delivering contextually specific content across different digital touch points. This keeps members (patients and caregivers) fully informed during and after repetitive shaking episodes occur. By presenting the right content when it is needed most, members are not only engaged but also effectively “activated” in the care management process, indicated Anoo Nathan, CEO of Smart Monitor.
“The healthcare landscape is changing. Payers, providers and technology partners in the healthcare value chain are under immense pressure to do more with less” said Sai Ganesamoorthi, CEO of Velocitos, Inc. “Our solution, HealthFeed, helps healthcare entities with automated healthcare content delivery tools that drive patient engagement and lead to better health outcomes.”
“The ease and the short time that it took to integrate HealthFeed into Smart Monitor’s member portal was a pleasant surprise,” said Anoo Nathan. “Our users were able to derive value from the curated, customized content as soon as we launched this feature on our portal. We are pleased to offer this capability as part of our ongoing effort and commitment to provide, peace of mind and autonomy for families dealing with chronic health conditions such as epilepsy and seizure related disorders”
US Health Statistics
New studies indicate 80 percent of Internet connected adults are using digital health tools. Those aged 35-54 years of age are stronger adopters and report higher degree of satisfaction with digital health tools, such as the Smart Monitor member portal.
Of the $2.6 trillion America spends on health care each year, 75 percent goes toward fighting chronic diseases. This amount can be decreased if patients are more aware and actively engaged in their care. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 7 of 10 deaths are from chronic diseases; again a statistic that can be reduced through increased patient engagement. The need for patient engagement strategies & solutions are increasing, in part due to an evolving regulatory landscape.
