Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)
Medically safe solutions to help patients manage their health from the comfort of their own homes.
By incorporating RPM into a broader health platform, we can achieve better outcomes and improve patient engagement and compliance.
Lower costs by keeping the patient out of the hospital
Remote patient monitoring products are becoming increasingly important as the costs of chronic care continue to rise. With an ageing population and many people living with multiple chronic conditions, there is a growing need for innovative solutions that can help patients manage their health from the comfort of their own homes.
With RPM, healthcare providers are able to keep a closer eye on their patients without requiring frequent in-person visits. This can be particularly important for patients with conditions requiring them to monitor their health on a daily or even hourly basis. The Platform24 RPM solution allows patients to track their vital signs and symptoms, and to share this information with their healthcare team in real-time. This can help catch potential issues early on, before they become more serious and require costly interventions.
No one is just a chronic patient – RPM as part of the full care flow
People living with chronic conditions are much more than just “chronic patients.” Apart from coping with their conditions, they may also – just like anyone else – wake up with a sore throat or suffer an injury that requires surgery.
We believe in remote monitoring as part of the overall healthcare journey. With Platform24, your patients will be able to interact with you from one and the same entrypoint – regardless of reason for reaching out. Self monitoring is managed in the same app as they would use for seeking other care, accessing lab results or reading their journal.
Chronic treatment
& post-surgery
The Platform24 RPM solution has two main use cases:
Chronic care
Common diagnosis groups that could be relevant in an RPM setting include diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Post surgery
With our RPM solutions you will be able to temporarily follow-up on your patients’ to detect variances outside of the doctor’s office.
Main benefits with RPM
- Cost savings
Possibility to handle more patients as automated workflows, decision support, medical note suggestions, batch assessments etc. make everyday work easier for the clinician. This way, care providers can spend more time with the patients and less time on paperwork.
- Medical safety
Many chronic patients only have one or two physical interaction points per year with healthcare workers, despite the fact that they live with their conditions 365 days per year. With Remote Patient Monitoring the patient is offered the security of constant care presence, while the clinician also gets drastically increased amounts of data points.
Additionally, structured medical protocols can ensure best practices, making it easier for care teams to work proactively rather than just reactively, and patients are more engaged in their disease management.
- Patient experience and availability
For chronic patients with RPM tools, assistance from their care provider is just one click away with an open asynchronous messaging channel. The first staff member to respond can see the patient’s full health status and quickly decide how to prioritize their case. - Staff satisfaction
Automated administration and batch assessment of routine cases offer practitioners more time to cultivate the patient/practitioner relationship and more time to dive deeper into challenging medical cases.
RPM product series
Allows patients to report their subjective symptoms or the results from medical devices through questionnaires. The wide range of questionnaires and flexibility of the platform enables care processes which are adapted to the patient as well as the clinician.
This means pathways that are actually used by patients, that save time for clinicians and that improve quality of care.
Manual data reporting
Standardised forms for all data not automatically updated from HW
- Qualitative and subjective data (e.g. depression forms)
- Objective data from unsupported hardware
PROM
Standardised forms for PROM (Patient Reported Outcome Measures)
Clinician interface for
Care plan builder
Define care plans and care groups
Care plan manager
Manage groups of patients with chronic conditions
Medical data analysis
Follow individual patients over time through consumable data representations
Individual threshold limits
No one-size-fits-all: possibility to set individual thresholds based on age, gender or other factors
Auto-attestations
Value considered normal are automatically attested, allowing clinicians to only spend time looking at critical values that needs attention
Trend analysis
MDR certified algorithm analysing trends, making it possible to only flag the values considered as outliers for the patient
Adaptive logic
Questionnaires that are automatically sent out can be adapted based on the values reported by the patient. Also the frequency of future measurements can be adapted this way.
Automatic customised messages
Automatically send customised messages to patients depending on what values they report
The hardware integrations supported by Platform24 can be used as input for many different pathways, such as
- Hypertension
- Heart failure
- Asthma
- IBD
- Diabetes type II
- Etc.
All hardware devices supported by Platfom24 allow for automatic, wireless data transfer to the app.
