Paquin Healthcare Partners With Withings to Enable Medical Care Providers to Remotely Monitor Thousands of Patients With Optimal Ease and Efficiency
Paquin and Withings to Co-Host Two Informative Webinars for Medical Care Providers and Practice Administrators on Thursday, May 7, 2015 at 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM Eastern Time
(firmenpresse) - STUART, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 05/05/15 -- ("Paquin"), a fully integrated digital solutions company specializing in national end-to-end ecommerce for the healthcare industry, today announced that it has partnered with , the leader in the connected health revolution, to combine Paquin's innovative, web-based patient monitoring management solution with Withings' smart health tracking products to enable physicians and medical care specialists to securely and remotely track and monitor thousands of patients simultaneously.
Irrespective of the size of a medical care provider's patient base, iRemedy Remote will collect and consolidate all data generated through patient use of Withings' wide range of health tracking devices, including the Withings Pulse (activity tracker), Smart Body Analyzer (smart scale), Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor and Withings Aura (smart sleep system); and deliver that data to a care provider in a user-friendly, secure, web-based, real-time dashboard via any connected smartphone or computing device. The iRemedy Remote dashboard provides physicians with detailed readings on remotely monitored patient vitals, immediately alerting them of any 'out of range' biometrics (such as sudden weight gain, a sign of congestive heart failure) that may indicate a specific patient requires immediate medical intervention or further investigative attention.
Widespread adoption of remote patient monitoring is proving to materially enhance patient care while saving the U.S. healthcare system hundreds of millions of dollars; while also helping hospitals meet their Affordable Care Act goals, including reducing hospital readmissions. Increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, the rising geriatric population base and the growing demand for independent and healthy living by patients are some high impact drivers of the remote patient monitoring market. Moreover, recently approved reimbursements by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services now provide for care providers to be paid for remote chronic care patient management, including collecting and reviewing patient data, which does not require patients to be present and pays the provider an average monthly fee of $56.92 per patient. Consequently, reimbursement for remote patient monitoring is expected to contribute measurably to the market's growth, forecasted to reach $1.2 billion by 2022 according to a new study recently released by Grand View Research, Inc.
Paquin created iRemedy Remote to provide patients and their care providers with on-demand, convenient, low cost, HIPAA-compliant remote access to critical patient data, including weight, percentage of body fat, activity level (calories burned), blood oxygen level, blood pressure, body temperature and glucose level. In addition, Paquin provides physicians, medical groups, hospitals and health systems with a turnkey platform that provides for Paquin to manage the sourcing and distribution of Withings monitoring devices to patients via an ecommerce store created on their respective websites. Paquin will also manage all order fulfillment and call center support to ensure that devices are properly integrated with the technology platform, and sufficient support is given to patients and consumers that may be first time users of Withings' smart health tracking products.
On Thursday, May 7, 2015, Paquin and Withings will co-host two informative webinars -- scheduled for 12:00 PM ET and 3:00 PM ET -- to educate medical care providers and practice administrators on the cost and care enhancement benefits of remote patient monitoring.
