Optimize Health Announces Remote Clinical Monitoring Services to Help Providers Expand Their Remote Care Capacity

C Spire partners with Delta Regional Medical Center on remote patient monitoring

Optimize Health, a pioneer in the rapidly growing Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) industry, announced its clinical monitoring service offering, which pairs their all-in-one easy-to-use RPM software platform with clinically-driven monitoring services led by medically-certified registered nurses (RNs).

More and more health providers recognize the important role RPM plays in patient care delivery – for both patient satisfaction and outcomes – but struggle to appoint the internal resources necessary to monitor patients consistently. By utilizing RNs who understand how to provide a patient-centered experience, Optimize Health’s monitoring service can increase patient engagement and serve as a critical extension of their clients’ practices. With today’s announcement, providers can start and scale a best-in-class RPM program that acts as an extension of their practice.

“While healthcare practitioners clearly understand the benefits of RPM, the perceived challenges of starting and managing an RPM program can be overwhelming for many,” said Neha Ajmera, Senior Vice President of Operations at Optimize Health. “To help providers successfully realize the benefits of RPM, we designed our monitoring service with every situation in mind, so RPM is within reach for each practice that wants to expand its patient delivery model.”

Benefits of Optimize Health’s Solution

Unlike other outsourced monitoring solutions, Optimize Health uses registered nurses, who can work independently to investigate trends and provide clinically-sound solutions. By leveraging their clinical expertise, Optimize Health’s solution can reduce false escalations and give providers more time to support in-office patients. This also allows for:

  • Real-time expertise. Clinically-trained RNs evaluate patient data first-hand to identify trends and patterns before escalating to other members of the care team.
  • Increased patient engagement. The RN team checks patient readings, follows up with those who have out of range results and contacts patients who have missed readings to help maximize each patient’s value.
  • Future-ready staffing. Optimize Health’s team of RNs expands and contracts based on a clinic’s need, creating an efficient and scalable RPM program that offers as much as a 70% increase in patients monitored without upfront costs.

ABOUT OPTIMIZE HEALTH
Optimize Health makes it easy for healthcare providers to offer patient-centric, reimbursable remote patient monitoring. Optimize Health’s solution seamlessly integrates affordable devices with easy-to-use software and clinically-driven monitoring services, empowering patients and providers alike to improve health outcomes and contain costs.

Sapio Smart Healthcare creates medical bot to empower initial medical consultation

Sapio Smart Healthcare, a division of government advisory firm Sapio Analytics, has conceptualised a smart healthcare ecosystem and has created an artificially intelligent empathetic bot to empower the initial medical consultation, as part of the same.

Sapio Smart Healthcare aims to reach smaller towns and villages of India in an attempt to create a comprehensively accessible healthcare ecosystem. While launching the new bot named AKS, after the late Dr Ashok Kumar Srivastava, Hardik Somani, Director, Sapio Analytics says, “We are working on transforming villages of India through our newly initiated rural development project with the Government of Delhi, and through various other programmes with bodies of the Government of India. Healthcare is critical to such transformation, and Sapio’s smart healthcare ecosystem is a step towards the same. Today we launch one of our bots that can understand the local and personal issues of an individual while interacting with them and suggesting them the next steps in healthcare, thus displaying empathy besides demonstrating deep medical knowledge. Our analysis shows that empathetic understanding of individuals is important for successful health care in rural areas of India.”

Dr Ashok Kumar Srivastava was a surgeon in the tribal areas of Sahibganj and Pakur in Jharkhand, has dedicated his life towards the advancement of the communities, demonstrating new dimensions of empathetic healthcare. Awarded by numerous government bodies, his excellence in teaching empathetic and personalised healthcare to the medical profession is the reason why he has been chosen as the mascot for this bot. A large-scale evaluation of his mindset, behaviour and persona has been created, to create an artificially intelligent bot based on his thinking, immortalising him in the process.

The bot will be launched as part of a healthcare ecosystem, that also conceptualises a network of interconnected hospitals and healthcare centres through both physical and virtual technologies.

“While working with remote areas in Maharashtra, our partners realised that building a world-class hospital was not enough, because, despite the creation of a smart hospital in the area, the patients were not visiting the same. That’s when we understood that smartness does not just lie in modern technologies but also in understanding the citizens that they are meant to serve, and give importance to their local customs and beliefs and interact with them like their own. This was made possible using AI and domain knowledge from legends,” adds Somani.

Sapio Analytics works extensively with the Government of India in data-driven policymaking and was recently in news for creating a first-of-its-kind smart digital census. With offices in Mumbai, Palo Alto and London, the company is positioning itself as the artificially intelligent government support system for developing countries. Apart from its healthcare division, the company has divisions dedicated to law enforcement, local administration, intelligence, heritage and culture, and economic growth platforms.

How To Find Better Medical Care For You And Your Family

How To Find Better Medical Care For You And Your Family

As it is popularly said, health is wealth. That is why adequate attention needs to be given to your medical care. You can not possibly stop the impact of internal illness or deadly disease on your loved ones, but you can do them a great favor to provide the best medical care to see to their wellbeing and yours as well.

One of the significant steps to take is finding the right medical professional to take care of your family’s health and wellbeing. A primary health care provider is not just a doctor; you are more likely to confide in them and open up more. As time goes on, your health provider learns about your medical history, lifestyle, the best type of treatment that works for you, and managing your health quite all right.

Here are some tips to guide you on choosing better medical care for you and your family.

Make Sure Your Chosen Medical Professional Can Meet Your Special needs

There are reasons why there are different doctors for all specialties. To narrow down your options, one of the best ways is to get a Doctor, Gynecologist, or Dentist who is at par with your specific needs. You have the option of choosing from different types of medical practitioners for your family; it is only great if you chose well.

In most cases, the best choice for you will depend on what a particular member of your family needs at a specific time, and age is also a significant factor to be considered. As the folks behind Smart Clinics explained, If you have children, a pediatrician provides quality health care for child and adolescent health. And if your focus is on fertility issues as a family, a gynecologist is what you need.

And if you are older with complicated health issues, a geriatrician is your best bet that will meet up to your medical needs.

Do A Quality Health Check

Before choosing any health care center or deciding on a medical professional your family wants to commit to, you must run a thorough quality check. The same way you won’t want someone to come into your home to do repairs without checking if they are qualified is the same energy you should use to confirm if your intended doctor or health care center is of excellent quality.

Fortunately, you can get reviews online, making it easier for you to make a decision.

Make Sure It Is Within Your Reach

Sometimes, some health issues might arise without any prior symptoms; it is only better that your primary health care provider stays within your reach. You don’t want to be traveling miles to get attended to when you are under the weather.

And if your doctor’s office is not far from wherever you are, you won’t feel hesitant to keep constant appointments for physical or general check-ups.

Ask About The Options You Have Concerning Setting Up Appointment

Sometimes you may be far from where your medical provider is, so you need to ask questions if they have the option of virtual appointment for times that you have a minor complaint to put through to your doctor, which doesn’t require you to fix a medical appointment with your doctor.

There are some other questions that you should ask on whether they offer same-day appointments and if they don’t take long to attend to patients while sitting in the waiting room for meetings. It is your health, and it is not too much. If you ask these questions, you will be saving yourself and your family a lot.

Know What Your Medical Health Provider Stand For

Be sure you know what your medical health provider feels about the profession? Is it something borne out of passion, or is it because of the name? If your doctor’s philosophy aligns with yours, you are more likely to stick to whatever recommendations they make when you go for appointments. For you to get the best medical care, it is paramount that you and your doctor work together and in sync with each other. This is the only way you can have a great doctor-patient relationship.

You should make sure your doctor is sensitive towards your ideas and values, as it would make the doctor-patient relationship easier.

In essence, whosoever you are choosing as a preferred medical care expert should be a doctor you are comfortable with, whom your family member that needs care is safe with, and you can easily confide in.

4 Tips On How To Become A CER Writer And Benefit From It

Tips On How To Become A CER Writer And Benefit

Are you interested in becoming a Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) writer? If so, you are in a good direction since this is a rewarding career. You need skills that blend clinical, medical, scientific, technical, and regulatory competencies. In writing clinical evaluation reports you must also be experienced in medical devices. While it is not easy to find medical writers with such a range of experience, you can become one of them. Here are four tips on how to become a CER writer and benefit from it

1.  Writing Experience

First and foremost, if you want to become a medical writer, you must have a lot of writing experience. A strong writing background is crucial if you want to become a successful writer. There are basic things about writing that you should know first before you pick your area of specialization. To become a good CER writer, you must have significant experience in writing scientific clinical, medical, and technical content. This technical expertise will set you apart from prose or other general content writers.

CER writing involves a lot of research, and the writers must provide regulatory documents. Therefore, you need to search relevant literature and have hands-on experience in analyzing different forms of data to write coherent, concise, and clear documents that can effectively communicate relevant information to the regulators. Professional CER writers are expert industry analysts who at one time have worked within the medical sphere for a certain period. In other words, you must have a scientific background together with significant writing experience in medical and other related technical content.

2.  Clinical Knowledge 

A CER writer should be knowledgeable in the therapeutic area they will be dealing with to be able to write meaningful content that will benefit the regulatory authorities. You must be able to conduct a comprehensive review of data that is obtained from clinical investigations about the safety and performance of different devices. Expert CER writers must be able to perform literature reviews on various clinical settings and other published reports that can help in assessing the performance of the device and its safety.

Ideally, competent CER writers must be coherent, thorough, precise, and easily understandable. Your CER report should be approved the first time that you submit it. A successful CER writer must have attention to detail and must produce drafts that do not require numerous edits. A notified body that receives your Clinical Evaluation Report must make a list of corrections if any. In other words, you should always strive to submit a clean copy.

3.  Device Knowledge

Clinical Evaluation Reports involve evidence that must be used to support medical device licensing and support and application. Therefore, a CER writer must be an expert with knowledge in technology particularly imaging, implantable devices, software, and diagnostics. However, it seems that several medical writers lack device knowledge, or they have information that is limited to certain gadgets only.

A professional CER writer must know medical devices, clinical knowledge, and understand therapeutic indications of the devices. More importantly, the writers must have broad knowledge about the device’s therapeutic use and its intended purpose. The writer’s knowledge base should determine their level of competence. A competent CER writer must also show a keen interest in researching different devices and gain insight into their uses and functions.

4.  Regulatory Knowledge

A successful CER writer must have an understanding of the EU regulatory framework for the licensing of devices. Writers should also know the roles of notified bodies since they are the ones responsible for imposing strict requirements for the information that is required for Clinical Evaluation Reports. A competent writer should possess knowledge about the content experience, and they should also be familiar with devices that consist of the same technology.

Apart from having regulatory knowledge, CER writers must be wary of other crucial elements in their practice like deadlines and timeframes involved in clinical evaluation. It is vital to deal with a writer who can conform to the deadline if you need to submit your clinical data within a specific timeframe. Most writers offer services for different prices and timeframes. If you want to benefit from your writing, make sure you adhere to specified deadlines.

To become a CER writer, you should possess some writing experience, clinical knowledge, device, and regulatory knowledge. The profession of writing a CER is highly rewarding since it is technical. You also need regulatory, scientific, and medical competencies to benefit from a writing career in this field. You need to perfect your writing skills if you want to benefit from becoming a CER writer.

Viz.ai and Avicenna.AI Partner to Launch World-class AI-Driven Intelligent Care Coordination for Pulmonary Embolism and Aortic Disease

Viz.ai and Avicenna.AI Partner to Launch World-class AI-Driven Intelligent Care Coordination for Pulmonary Embolism and Aortic Disease

Viz.ai, the world leader in AI-driven intelligent care coordination, has partnered with Avicenna.AI, a global leader in artificial intelligence solutions, to enable intelligent care coordination and improve patient triage of patients suffering from pulmonary embolism (PE) and aortic disease. The collaboration will pave the way for faster clinical decision making and care for patients suffering from these two life threatening conditions.

Diagnosis and care coordination of patients suffering from PE and aortic disease can be challenging. Avicenna.AI’s FDA-approved algorithms for PE and Type A and Type B aortic dissection (AD), leveraged on the Viz intelligent care coordination platform, will empower multidisciplinary care teams to easily coordinate patient care by sending notifications paired with dynamic imaging and detailed patient information to each provider’s desktop or mobile device as soon as a PE or an aortic dissection is detected. As part of Viz.ai’s commercial aortic module offering, access to imaging and workflows supporting the coordination of care for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), rupture, stenosis and transection will be available in addition to the AD algorithm. Similarly, the PE algorithm will be available on Viz.ai’s commercial PE module.

“The addition of AI powered workflows should decrease the time from diagnosis to treatment and help to coordinate care for patients suffering from life-threatening PE and aortic disease, as it has in the treatment of ischemic stroke. It will help to facilitate faster and easier treatment decisions across health systems, and this should improve outcomes for patients,” said Dr. Richard Saxon, interventional radiologist Tri-City Medical Center.

The Viz Platform is proven to save time and improve patient outcomes. In 2020, CMS granted Viz.ai a New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) for the stroke module, Viz LVO, which reimburses hospitals directly. Pairing team alerts enhanced by AI with high-fidelity mobile image viewing, patient information and full-stack secure communication enables multidisciplinary teams to make faster treatment decisions for patients. The result increases access to care and improves outcomes for patients.

“We are proud to become a trusted partner of Viz.ai, who is committed to giving access to high-standard healthcare systems worldwide. Thanks to our AI-based solutions, we hope to facilitate an optimal medical response within a short time frame and improve patient care. We look forward to bringing the benefits of our pulmonary embolism and aortic dissection triage tools to the emergency room and beyond,” said Cyril Di Grandi, chief executive officer of Avicenna.AI.

PE is a potentially deadly form of venous thromboembolic disease, a common cause of cardiovascular death, and is associated with multiple inherited and acquired risk factors affecting hundreds of thousands of people every year globally. PE occurs when a blood clot gets lodged in an artery in the lung, blocking blood flow to part of the lung. Similar to PE, aortic disease is potentially deadly and can require urgent surgical intervention to prevent death.

“We’re delighted to partner with Avicenna to bring intelligent care coordination to the peripheral vascular and vascular fields. This will form part of a broader Viz platform, where any patient with life threatening diseases can benefit from AI powered triage, fast mobile communication and synchronized care coordination,” said Dr. Chris Mansi, Viz.ai CEO and co-founder. “This partnership will bring the advantages of artificial intelligence to more patients and help hospitals achieve better clinical outcomes.”

About Avicenna.AI

Founded in 2018, Avicenna.AI develops medical imaging AI solutions for various radiology applications. The company uses artificial intelligence and deep learning to optimize many of a radiologist’s manual tasks. Its first product, CINA Head, is an FDA-approved triage AI solution for neurovascular emergencies. Avicenna.AI is co-founded by Cyril Di Grandi, who previously co-founded and successfully sold Olea Medical, and Dr Peter Chang, a radiologist and internationally recognized expert in AI and deep learning.

About Viz.ai, Inc.

Viz.ai is the leader in AI-driven intelligent care coordination. Viz.ai’s mission is to fundamentally improve how healthcare is delivered in the world, through intelligent software that promises to reduce time to treatment, improve access to care, and increase the speed of diffusion of medical innovation.

In February 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted a De Novo clearance for Viz LVO, the first-ever computer-aided triage and notification software. Viz.ai announced its second FDA clearance for Viz CTP through the 510(k) pathway, offering healthcare providers an important tool for automated cerebral perfusion image analysis. A third FDA clearance was granted in 2020 for Viz ICH, which uses AI to automatically detect suspected intracranial hemorrhage on CT imaging. In 2020, CMS granted Viz.ai the first New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) for artificial intelligence software for Viz LVO.

Viz.ai is located in San Francisco and Tel Aviv and backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Google Ventures, Greenoaks, CRV, Threshold Ventures, Innovation Endeavors, Susa Ventures, Scale Venture Partners and Insight Partners.

An Innovative Digital Stethoscope for COVID -19

A Bluetooth enabled Smart Stethoscope Module which allows Clinicians and Medical Practitioners to auscultate patients from a safe distance

AYU DEVICES is spun out of BETIC, IIT BOMBAY and is supported by BIRAC, DBT- Government Of India. We have made India’s first Indigenous Digital Stethoscope which can amplify the heart and lungs sounds up to 16 times making it very clear for the diagnosis of Heart murmurs and Lungs abnormalities. Through our Medical Innovation, we have tried to help control the number of cases of misdiagnosis of the heart and lungs problems especially in the rural areas. The stethoscope can also record the heart sounds and can also share it simply through whatsapp. It finds great utility in the Medical field where we find innumerable cases of misdiagnosis and Congenital Heart Diseases due to which so many children die because of untimely diagnosis. The auscultated sounds can be sent from remote periphery locations which lack medical facilities to the best physicians our country has. This can help in proper analysis and diagnosis of the abnormalities faced by people thus bridging the gap between patients from remote areas and the best medical advisors.

Digital Stethoscope AYUSYNK is specifically helping to fight the COVID-19 crisis. With stethoscopes we are promoting Doctor-Patient Distancing, as we can take auscultations even while wearing the PPE protective suit through our Bluetooth connectivity thereby keeping our Health Workforce very safe.

Also in almost all the corona patients, symptoms of Pneumonia are found with a very specific Wheezing and Crackles in the auscultations. Through the amplification feature in Stethoscopes, doctors can amplify the volume and then listen to the lung sounds.

Digital Stethoscope AyuSynk can be used in primary health care centers to record abnormal auscultation sounds which can be sent to expert physicians for further diagnosis, thereby overcoming the problem of low ratio of doctors to number of people in India (1:1800) which is considerably low when compared to the minimum recommended doctor to population ratio of 1:1000 set by WHO.

The recording and playback feature will facilitate inclusion of auscultated sounds in the medical records of patients, and create a repository of recorded abnormal sounds, providing a rapid learning curve to medical students who are the future to a Healthier India. Our device provides the ability to convert an existing stethoscope to smart by just adding an attachment. This makes our device a low-cost solution for early detection of heart and lung diseases. By the detection of heart and lung diseases at the early stages the progression of the disease can be prevented. This reduces the economic burden on the patients, family members and tertiary care hospitals. Thereby reducing the economic burden on the country.
