APRIL - 202319Patient monitoring protocols continue to evolve, given the growing need to better manage and treat cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The traditional `cardiac patch monitoring model' to detect heart diseases with patches worn at home will likely continue to remain at the center of cardiac monitoring. Unfortunately, approximately 40 percent of patch patients are left without a diagnosis. Today, managing CVD with remote physiological monitoring (RPM) demonstrates significant improvement in patient outcomes. Recent studies indicate that the RPM model empowers physicians with actionable intelligence to identify early signs of exacerbated conditions, including congestive heart failure (CHF), and to detect a variety of arrhythmias such as Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Coala Life Inc. is a medical device company taking the lead in empowering the healthcare community with an innovative portfolio of products and services for RPM, analysis, and screening. The company focuses on cardiac diagnostics and mobile health and makes a state-of-the-art patented cardiac monitor available with a prescription. It is a patch-free remote monitoring system with a diagnostic quality electrocardiogram (ECG) and an integrated stethoscope. Its CE and FDA-cleared Coala Heart Monitor System record heart sounds, pulse and an ECG. The solution uses smart algorithms to listen, measure and analyze cardiac signals in seconds, allowing physicians to detect early signs of heart problems or exacerbations. "The recommended usage of the Coala Heart Monitor is two readings a day, morning and night, to ensure optimum cardiac monitoring and timely identifications of anomalies, arming the patient's healthcare physicians to take action before any medical mishap or unnecessary trips to the emergency department," states Amy Davalle, President of Coala Life Inc.The Coala Heart Monitor monitors 30-seconds of sound with an ECG from the chest and another 30-second ECG from the thumbs' measurement. These readings are sent to the patient's phone via the company's application; the bi-lingual Coala App is in English and Spanish, which displays color-coded circles to denote recording status, pulse and an ECG strip. From the app, the recording is sent to the cloud and then distributed in real-time to the physician's portal, selected EMRs, and to the Coala Life's monitoring specialist.What gives Coala Heart Monitor a competitive edge is its high quality ECG with exceptional sensitivity and specificity monitored by certified ECG technicians who follow patient trends and review data within 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is ideal for certain chronic disease patients who are on medications known to cause arrythmias or for patients with pulmonary disease, kidney disease or obesity where arrythmias are often prevalent. Easy and convenient daily monitoring makes the Coala Heart Monitor a sought-after device for arrhythmia investigations, long-term remote monitoring programs, pre- and post-procedures, medication titration, and a complement to ECG patches. The Coala Heart Monitor, with its integrated stethoscope, enables further insight into structural heart issues through the patient's phonocardiogram available on the physician's Coala Care Portal.The Coala Heart Monitor saves physicians time and optimizes patient outcomes when an abnormal reading is identified. The Coala Heart Monitor's augmented intelligence arms the monitoring team and Coala Life's nurse practitioners with relevant data. This data is used to guide discussion with the patient or their caregiver and then take appropriate action in accordance with each physician's specific directives. Physicians, while having 24/7 access to the portal data are not required to review hundreds of strips in a portal, for which there is limited time and resources; rather, they are called when specific patients are in need of their time, expertise or intervention or care. Continuing with its mission to help patients monitor their health and empower physicians to deliver better care, Coala Life is exclusive to Qorum Partners, a chronic disease management company. Together with Qorum Partners, the company employs connected devices, including a blood pressure monitor, scale, incentive spirometer and glucometer, enabling physiological and therapeutic monitoring along with chronic and principal care management. This is a testament to Coala Life's passion for helping physicians deliver optimum care.
