UPMC leads $17M investment in Vivify Health for its remote patient monitoring system
Summary
“Having been involved with hospitals for 15 years across the US watching patients and providers suffer with the grueling need for improved healthcare services, it was obvious when we saw technology such as the iPhone hit the market that there was a better way,” Rock said. The tablet offers video conferencing for virtual visits with a physician, health surveys, educational content, and a care plan. Healthcare providers can use the smartphone system to collect data, send health surveys, and video conference for virtual visits. Later this year, in the second quarter of 2016, Rock said Vivify plans to launch an interactive voice response capabilities feature to reach a further audience. The service will call users every day with automated voice prompts and walk through a set of questions, the same content that is used in the digital offerings.
