Cellular Enabled Devices
It may be challenging for practice to find tech-savvy medicare patients. It is hard to teach the patients to take measurements and transfer through their smartphones.
AstuteDoc's product team has carefully reviewed multiple device vendors to pick cellular-enabled and easy to use devices. With our devices, patients can simply take a measurement and it automatically transmits to our software.
No device is 100% perfect but we have carefully tested many of the devices in the market and picked the best ones. Our team members have even gone to remote locations to verify the transmission of data.
Patient Nudges
Let's face it, things like blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight are not problems that show immediate symptoms. Even with a lot of education during the visit, the patient may not keep up with all the data tracking to be compliant.
Hence, to keep a patient compliant, when data has not transmitted to our software, we send them gentle text-based reminders on the importance of taking the measurement.
We also provide a clear dashboard view for the care-coordinators to follow-up with the patient via a personal phone call.
Critical Alerts
Many patients may measure their blood pressure in the office right after taking medication and they may be normal. Once they go home, they may forget to take their medication and the blood pressure spikes. In a worst-case scenario, they may end up in the ER or have further complications.
All of this can be avoided with AstuteDoc software, our custom-built tools allow practices to set default critical alerts and modify it for the patient. When a patient sends the measurement, we verify it with their alerting status and send the appropriate alert receiver immediate emails.
With multiple alerts generated, providers can counsel them on behavior or change their medication to mitigate these escalation scenarios.
