Reshaping the Remote Care Landscape

Remote care for at-risk patients requires a comprehensive approach, integrating the range of protocol requirements for effective in-home chronic care management. Consistent within all home-health protocols, medication management emerges as a linchpin. Each year, medication errors in the USA cause 7,000 to 9,000 deaths and cost in excess of $40 billion. Conventional remote patient monitoring often fails in providing accurate patient assessments due to lack of details related to the patient’s medication history. Real-time medication adherence and symptoms must be assessed along with vital sign test results, to enable personalized care.

itracHEALTH is focused on delivering a one-stop solution anchored in intelligent medication management in a home setting. itracHEALTH will transform the landscape of remote care with its digital health technology platform, eNURSE^™ Personal Health Assistant, designed to provide comprehensive and customizable in-home support for individuals with multiple chronic conditions.

The portable eNURSE is a system that transcends traditional approaches of simply using remote patient monitoring for remote care. The eNURSE, with its medIQ medication management module, emulates a nurse providing care to patients at-home, with a focus on supporting the crucial problem of complex medication management.

The eNURSE addresses other in-home health protocol challenges with its integrated functions of vital signs monitoring, reporting of pain and symptoms, and performing behavioral and psychological assessments. eNURSE offers voice instructions, videos and an icon-based user interface, supporting those with limited technical literacy. itracHEALTH provides caregivers with the eSSIST Caregiver App to remotely monitor, communicate and assist their patients. It’s like having a nurse at home, guiding both patients and caregivers through daily home health routines.

The accompanying HIPPA complaint itracINSITE Primary Care Portal, provides real time home health records and one-button telehealth between the patient, physician and caregivers. This integrated system enables physicians to make informed decisions using a contextual home health record. eNURSE takes medication management beyond pill dispensers in today’s marketplace.

eNURSE accommodates the evolving medication regimens of at-risk patients. Physicians can remotely cancel, postpone, suspend, titrate or change medication doses, and the eNURSE medIQ medication management module accurately executes these changes. The eNURSE medication management capabilities reduce the risk of human error or patient misreporting.

eNURSE can identify potential drug interactions, duplicate therapies, and contraindications, so medical professionals can make better medication therapy decisions.

Our sophisticated eNURSE with medIQ provides holistic care anchored in a smart medication management solution that seamlessly adjusts to the evolving medical needs of at-risk and frail patients while providing a user experience conducive to sustained patient engagement. Our objective is to bridge the existing gap in at-home patient care, particularly for the 17 million Americans requiring care from multiple doctors,” says César García, CEO and founder of itracHEALTH.

eNURSE^™—A Personal Health Assistant for an Aging Population

Our eNURSE seamlessly adjusts to the evolving medical needs of at-home patients looking to support their quality of life expectations while aging in place

The U.S. is witnessing a surging aging population, among whom a significant percentage are at-risk and burdened with at least four chronic diseases that challenge their ability to enjoy an independent lifestyle.

itracHEALTH believes the remote care of these patients requires a holistic approach. eNURSE was designed with input from the School of Gerontology and Department of Geriatric Pharmacy at the University of Southern California, as well as primary care physicians that understand a remote care system must tackle the aggregate of challenges for effective home health care.

Creating a Robust Virtual Care Network

Physician burnout is a pressing concern with over 50 percent of physicians reporting burnout and 23% experiencing depression. Homes are rapidly becoming an extension of hospitals. This trend combined with the higher proportion of patients requiring complex chronic care at home poses an overwhelming challenge for physicians in terms of number of patients and complexity of their care.

itracHEALTH aims to assist this challenge by providing a real-time, contextual report of patient-generated home health data through the itracINSITE Portal. This allows doctors to personalize care and proactively react to meaningful information rather than isolated data points.

“We believe in the power of a virtual care network that unites patients, caregivers, and medical professionals. We ensure that all parties can access the same real-time information, promoting coordinated care and timely interventions,” says García.

The benefits of eNURSE extend beyond patients and caregivers to insurers and medical professionals. For insurers, the itracHEALTH solution offers cost savings by avoiding preventable emergency room visits and hospitalizations. For physicians group practices implementing home health care strategies, besides providing a simplified solution, the eNURSE service is reimbursable through existing Medicare codes and supports value-based care models driven to improve patient outcomes, boost HEDIS scores, and enhance their productivity.

itracHEALTH’s commitment to innovation and excellence has earned international recognition, with eNURSE being selected as a Featured Finalist in the prestigious 2023 International Design Excellence Award, health and medical category. As the eNURSE continues its journey toward market launch, itracHEALTH remains dedicated to revolutionizing remote care, making a significant impact on the lives of chronic care patients, caregivers, and the healthcare industry.
