Monitoring of patient vital signs through Telehealth is a proven application of technology that improves patient care while reducing overall healthcare costs. Recent independent studies have indicated that preventative self-monitoring through telehealth improves overall care outcomes, especially for patients with chronic illnesses such as heart disorders, diabetes, asthma or sleep disorders.

We have designed the optimum telehealth monitoring system (click here to view the solution).

ExpressMD Solutions combines Electronic House Call^TM, an FDA 510(k) market clearance approved, in-home patient vital signs monitoring system with a web application that streamlines the practitioner's job anywhere they have Internet or a Windows mobile communication device. The in-home portion includes the latest in simple-to-use monitor devices for unassisted patient vital signs measurement as well as question-and-answer mode for manual input. The self-contained home unit is perfectly suited for patients that require repeated assessment and reminders of their care plan schedule while practitioners can easily monitor patient progress remotely. Patients can review their own vital statistics history or even view and order products specific to their condition that support their care plan.

This proven system improves overall care outcomes for patients with chronic illnesses such as COPD, CHF, Diabetes and Sleep Apnea. It delivers better continuity of care for elderly or special needs patients, as well as many others with chronic illnesses such as chronically ill pediatric patients. Patients using the ExpressMD in-home monitoring system have shown dramatic improvements in medication and therapy compliance. The overall effect produces significant reductions in the overall number of physician office visits, emergency room visits and hospital readmissions.

It provides intelligent routing to alert on-duty caregivers whenever patient vital signs are outside of the practitioner pre-set ranges. Parameters are set to automatically route to caregivers based on patient specific needs, payer preference and location. In addition, care providers can remotely access the system from Windows communications devices, delivering true portability of care management.
