Easing Connected Care Providence for Patients at-Home

People with chronic health conditions require periodic visits to their primary care providers and emergency rooms. In the time between those medical events– which can be weeks or months–patients can experience subtle symptoms that can signal an impending emergency. These symptoms may not be enough to warrant a visit to the doctor, but physicians who can track patients’ vital signs can help prevent another acute medical event.

The answer lies in a remote health monitoring (RPM) system that can transmit data from medical implants, helping doctors monitor patient vital signs 24/7 and communicate with them in real-time on a prevention strategy.

eDevice, a leader in the remote patient monitoring sector, is making this a reality for thousands of patients worldwide. Driven by its mission to connect physiological data from medical implants of at-home patients to their healthcare providers, it offers connected healthcare solutions, facilitating the secure transmission of medical data from hundreds of thousands of medical devices across the globe. Providers can access the data from the eDevice telehealth portal, dubbed HealthGO Live, and seamlessly communicate with their episodic and chronic care patients.

“We partner with leading cellular network providers to transmit data from the medical implants,” says Henry Floreal, chief commercial officer at eDevice.
These global networks help healthcare professionals with international coverage and a robust network infrastructure, ensuring effortless and flawless data access and patient communication.

In addition to the healthcare industry, eDevice is a recognized expert in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) switch-off migration, serving highly regulated industries such as online payment, energy, and security.

A Snapshot into the Health of Patients on a Day-To-Day Basis

When physicians prescribe a smart medical device like a pulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor, glucometer, or weight scale to their patients, eDevice leverages mobile connectivity to collect real-time insights.

Their nextgeneration RPM devices, HealthGO Hub and TwoCan Pulse come with SIM cards with global cellular coverage that acquires and transmits medical data to the cloud. The data is then connected to HealthGO Live, allowing healthcare providers to monitor and manage patients remotely.

HealthGO Live is also capable of sending automated alerts to healthcare providers when the collected data deflects outside the acceptable range. This helps them stay informed about their patient’s health and to take action when needed.

For instance, the firm has helped many clients struggling with nurse shortages during heavy patient loads. The portal’s automated alerts notify the nurses whenever there is a data fluctuation beyond a safe level and help them communicate directly with patients, optimizing their time with patients.

eDevice has also helped providers navigate pandemicinduced challenges. People with long-term health impacts who contract COVID-19 are prone to worsen or new kidney, lung, and heart diseases, resulting in a marked influx of patients. Healthcare professionals, preoccupied with those patients, struggled to respond to a massive backlog of needs of their other patients.

We’re evolving as patient care management is moving from hospitals to their homes. By leveraging our 20 years of experience in remote patient monitoring we’re moving beyond cardiac applications and adding additional applications such as multiple chronic illness management and Long Covid to our portfolio of services,” says Jeff Kofman, North America sales leader, eDevice

The ability to monitor remotely and regularly helped those physicians keep tabs on their chronic care patients to know quickly if their health was worsening. They were able to reach out to the patients and often prevent them from ending up in the hospital.

Product Customizations and Easy Accessibility for Every Healthcare Professional

eDevice understands that every provider has different monitoring needs. Some require only cardiac monitoring, while others need diabetes monitoring, as well. To that end, products are customizable, as opposed to out-of-the-box. Offerings are modified to meet each provider’s needs.

In addition to these services, eDevice provides logistics support to healthcare providers for all monitoring devices in circulation.

Ease of Use for Providers and Patients

Focused on delivering the full benefits of its solution to customers, eDevice follows a meticulous approach to client onboarding. Once an agreement is in place, the firm works with the client to ensure that the collected data can be directly integrated into their systems.

“We provide a turnkey solution, ensuring that healthcare providers can directly access and review the data in their native network rather than having to connect to our network. Every aspect, from data collection to device pairing, is automated,” says Floreal.

Patients can also take advantage of pre-paired RPM devices, minimizing their need for interaction with medical equipment. This makes eDevice equipment hassle-free to deploy and use, giving them an additional competitive edge. Customers choose their preferred equipment manufacturers, and eDevice provides pre-paired, cellular-connected RPM devices, saving patients the tedious process of pairing, entering passwords, or connecting to a WiFi network. Some of the largest cardiac implant medical equipment companies trust eDevice.

The Roadmap to a More Connected Healthcare Future

eDevice’s efforts to make remote health monitoring simpler and more efficient are reflected in their latest endeavors. It is developing a portal where patients can access their health data from devices and stay informed about their conditions. A range of products and services are being added, including wearables that connect to their portal, giving healthcare providers better, round-the-clock patient monitoring.

To provide hospital-at-home services holistically, eDevice also aspires to serve various healthcare verticals having high acuity patients. For example, post-surgery, when a patient requires more hands-on care and at-home monitoring, physicians can significantly benefit from their RPM solution. They can track patients’ health in real-time and provide the immediate medical attention and support those patients require.
