Remote Patient Monitoring Helps Doctors Provide Better Care for Patients

Accuhealth is a healthcare technology company that was established in 2018 by a team of cybersecurity professionals. They identified several problems with traditional primary care experiences, including inefficiencies, as well as concerns about exposure to illnesses. These issues were negatively impacting both patients and doctors, especially in cases where patients had chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension that required consistent monitoring. A paradigm shift took place that reinvented the way healthcare was delivered. 

Fully Managed Patient Care 

Accuhealth provides Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) solutions to clinics and enterprises and is the only vendor with a full suite of easy-to-use devices, services in over 300 languages, and 4G cellular connectivity available on all major carriers in 190+ countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. These devices – blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, weight scales, touchless thermometers, and peak flow meters – enable doctors to track real-time biometric data from the comfort of the patient’s home.

By integrating data from the daily device readings with our proprietary software platform ‘Evelyn’ into any clinic Electronic Health Record system (EHR), Accuhealth offers doctors a comprehensive view of a patient’s past health patterns, present conditions, ongoing treatments, and the ability to detect potential health issues before they intensify.

Our AI-powered software platform ‘Evelyn’ provides a dashboard of data serving as the central hub between doctors and patients. Doctors gain valuable insights about their patients through Accuhealth’s additional touchpoints, often identifying or helping prevent potential adverse healthcare events before they worsen and keeping patients out of the hospital emergency room.

Data shows that patients enrolled have an 80% reduction in hospital readmission, 20% increase in medication adherence, and marked health improvements in as little as 26 days, as well as further sustained and improved health in the long term (365 days and longer).  

Seamless EHR Integration and Patient Onboarding

Electronic health record (EHR) integration is critical for RPM success to ensure that doctors have uninterrupted workflow and can easily generate quality reports using the RPM data. Our user-friendly, no-cost, proprietary EHR integration is a hallmark of Accuhealth’s turnkey RPM solution and places readings into data fields in the doctors’ EHR. Our EHR integration engine seamlessly integrates with every EHR in the marketplace, such as Epic, Cerner, and many others. 

In addition to managing all the hardware and software, we offer services in 300+ languages, including Arabic, and a 24/7/365 clinical monitoring team. Through this, doctors can deploy a successful remote patient monitoring program immediately and without disruption to their current practice. 

The clinical monitoring team oversees the complete service, allowing for a scalable, patient-centric approach that optimizes advantages for both the patient and the doctor. 

Proactive Healthcare Made Easy and Done Right

 Thanks to Accuhealth remote patient monitoring, 16,804 hospital visits were prevented in the United States to date, resulting in an estimated savings to the U.S.-based government health insurance program of over $231 million (based on the average cost of $13,800 per trip to the hospital as per the U.S.-based healthcare system). Due to being monitored in the comfort of their own homes, patients’ satisfaction was improved through this safe and easy way to have chronic conditions monitored. In addition, patients who previously lacked access to consistent care through in-person, ad-hoc visits due to mobility issues, lack of transportation, and other  insufficient resources had a more equitable experience through RPM. 

Getting doctors set up with Accuhealth’s Remote Patient Monitoring has significantly improved management of chronic diseases and minimized barriers to care. The value of in-home monitoring and extending the continuum of care beyond the clinic walls is tremendous. 

With a robust care management program, patients feel empowered by taking ownership of their health via the Accuhealth user experience, which dramatically improves self-management and care plan adherence, patient satisfaction, and engagement. Accuhealth’s end-to-end RPM solution proves critical for local healthcare delivery, and we are pleased to be bringing our award-winning solution to doctors in the Middle East including the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.  In the Middle East, where conditions like diabetes, hypertension and COPD are prevalent, Accuhealth’s RPM solutions offer timely and culturally-sensitive care, ensuring patients receive the best possible support.
