Virtual Visits
Offer both scheduled virtual visits and PRN visits when patients report concerning symptoms or have pressing questions for their providers.
Cardiology and Cardiovascular Services
For patients with cardiac conditions, RPM can help with management of hypertension, medication titration and management, and real-time symptom and vital monitoring (ex. weight monitoring for congestive heart failure and obesity).
Using an array of connected peripheral devices, patients and clinicians can evaluate positive and negative trends in patients’ vital data to mitigate risk of readmission/rehospitalization.
Biometric Monitoring
HRS integrates with biometric monitoring devices that allow clinicians to capture heart, lung sounds, and ECG. Remote monitoring helps reduce care costs and improve outcomes with fewer follow-up visits and hospital admissions.
Data Analytics
Build trends to monitor patients recovery or long term improvement and enable clinicians to quickly recognize exacerbations and prevent adverse outcomes.
Cardiopulmonary Rehab
Telehealth allows providers to offer multidisciplinary (PT, OT, RD) in-home virtual care where they can assess the patient’s biometrics, symptoms, and tolerance to exercise.
Virtual Visits
Enhance the patient experience by providing physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other services virtually, while the patient remains in the comfort of home.
Activity Tracking
Assign patients exercise routines and track their exercise tolerance with activity tracking and customized care plans.
Endocrinology
Leveraging telehealth for glucose monitoring can help diabetic patients manage their symptoms over time. The endocrinologist can, using the data from RPM, make necessary changes to the patient’s care plan that drive beneficial behavior change. Patients can also access a wealth of educational content from one easy to use tablet/smartphone to further their understanding of their condition.
Biometric Monitoring
Consistent monitoring of glucose levels allows clinicians to build trends, monitor progress, and avoid setbacks.
Educational Resources
Help patients develop healthy habits and spur lasting behavior change, improving patients’ long term health and well-being.

Super short description about this feature but definitely not lengthy enough for a page. But maybe this one needs to be a little bit longer than the others.
Home Health
Home health providers can offer a continuous care experience with telehealth, one that balances clinical support with self-symptom management. Telehealth helps home health patients avoid readmission by engaging them in their own recovery.
Biometric Monitoring
Track patients’ progress following through their recovery and prevent hospital readmissions by closely monitoring patients’ vitals and symptoms.
Virtual Visits
Provide additional support to patients and reduce care costs by offering virtual skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and social work visits.
Hospice and Palliative Care
For hospice and palliative care patients, telehealth can provide an opportunity for patients to remain in the comfort of home while receiving advanced care and treatment.
Hospice and palliative care patients require specific care planning, educational resources, and the close support of caregivers. Telehealth and RPM enables providers to monitor patients’ symptoms in real-time, such as a patient’s pain, to make adjustments and provide additional comfort.
Educational Resources
A diverse range of educational videos help prepare patients and caregivers for what to expect while receiving palliative or end of life care.
Medication Reminders
For patients in need of complex care plans and detailed medication regimens, providers can leverage medication reminders and tracking.
Hospital at Home
Through hospital at home programs, patients who are eligible for a hospital admission are able to receive hospital care at home. With telehealth and RPM, the provider is able to communicate with and monitor the patient 24/7, ensuring the patient receives high-quality hospital-level care. This results in reduced hospital length of stay, increased bed capacity/throughout and overall a more seamless transition for patients back to their homes.
Biometric Monitoring
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires Hospital at Home programs collect patients vital twice daily. Using RPM solutions allows for more efficient collection of patient vitals.
Virtual Visits
Support the daily evaluation of hospital at home patients, and provide additional support services to patients, such as social work visits.
Orthopedics
Telehealth brings post surgical recovery or physical therapy rehabilitation directly into the comfort and convenience of the patient’s home by enabling virtual follow up, virtual physical therapy, and monitoring of orthopedic symptoms.
RPM and telehealth enable surgical teams to engage with the patient remotely through virtual multidisciplinary rounds.
Biometric Monitoring
Ensure patients are recovering post-surgery by tracking their temperature, heart rate,blood pressure, and more.
Symptom Surveys
Check in with patients daily and quickly identify adverse outcomes through custom symptom surveys.
Physician Group
Through telehealth, physicians can remain well connected to their patients, even beyond the office visit. Telehealth helps physicians educate their patients, offers a convenient way to follow up after office visits, and allows for real-time symptom monitoring. Additionally, with the opportunity of reimbursement, physician practices have a strong financial case for converting more of their visits into virtual visits.
Offer the complete advances of telehealth and remote patient monitoring, including symptom surveys, biometric monitoring, and virtual visits, with an affordable, easy-to-use platform.
Medication Reminders
Ensure patients are complying with their care plan and medication regimens between visits by setting medication reminders and checking in through text messaging.
Population Health Services
Incorporating telehealth initiatives into population health initiatives supports the shift to value based care, focusing on holistic patient care and the social determinants of health. With the emergence of “low touch” RPM and telehealth solutions like a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) option allows for a low cost way to manage large patient populations while still playing an active role in their health and wellness.
PatientConnect Mobile
An affordable solution to deploy telehealth and remote patient monitoring services to an expansive population.
Symptom Surveys
Customize surveys to incorporate questions that provide insight into the social determinants of health patients face.
Prenatal and Postpartum
With telehealth, providers remotely monitor the health of pregnant women, especially those who are rising or high risk. In the prenatal period, where at least 15 face-to-face prenatal visits is the norm, offering telehealth visits improves access and reduces patient burden.
In the postpartum period, providers can use telehealth to monitor for postpartum hypertension, depression, and other conditions, empowering the new parent to remain at home with their newborn.
Biometric Monitoring
For patients at an increased risk of developing preeclampsia, daily blood pressure monitoring provides important clinical insights.
