Last month the Health Numeric team attended the Michigan Association for Home Care's 27th annual conference at the Grand Traverse Resort in Williamsburg, Michigan.

The care I received with remote health monitoring technology was just as good as having a nurse come to my house,” stated a participant in Sharp HealthCare Lean Six Sigma project.
The Sharp HealthCare Foundation conducted a study with a main focus of reducing 30 and 90-day readmissions through Remote Health Monitoring. The study targeted 80 Congestive Heart Failure patients, 66 of whom completed the 90-day program. The study analyzed the outcomes of enrolled patients diagnosed with primary, secondary or tertiary heart failure in comparison to a reference group of similar patients, not enrolled in the RPM program.
Remote Health Monitoring works to reduce complexity and increase efficiency of health care. RPM works directly into a patient’s home and is non invasive. A patient uses the device (such as such as a weight scale, thermometer, glucose meter, blood pressure monitor, and heart rate monitor) and this information is then shared to the ... Read Article

Remote Patient Monitoring is a more connected form of healthcare. Patients living at home with some assistance can benefit greatly from using RPM devices, receiving better care from their aides, nurses and doctors. Because the patient’s health is being monitored from home, their caregivers can address any type of changes or declines in the patient’s health immediately. Patients can create what’s called a Care Circle once they receive their device. Not only will their nurse be notified of changes in the patient’s measurements, anyone the patient adds to their Care Circle will also be notified. The connectivity of the Care Circle ensures better care for the patient and a more comprehensive picture of their health for their caretakers and doctors.
Better, more connected care for the patient means less time spent in the hospital. It also reduces the likelihood of emergency room visits, helps to keep their medication dosage under control ... Read Article

In order to best understand the Health Numeric solution, you have to understand that Health Numeric is different from teleheath and even most remote patient monitoring. While our product is a type of RPM, the differences found in our solution change and save lives.
While telehealth communication and remote patient monitoring may be similar, the differences are important to understand in order to fully grasp the experiences they offer. Primarily, telehealth communications offer long-distance clinical health care. For example, the technologies used include videoconferencing, secure email and messaging, and phone calls. Telehealth is mainly done through the Internet to communicate in various ways with a health care provider.
Remote patient monitoring, or RPM, uses devices to remotely collect, store and communicate biometric health information to practitioners. Instead of talking with a health care provider online, the RPM tools allow providers to accurately monitor and intervene in the patient’s care before he/she presents ... Read Article
