GE Healthcare and AMC Health have collaborated to help clinicians offer Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) solutions to chronic and post-acute care patients at their homes.
The collaboration aims to create a scalable, customised RPM solution that enables effective treatment outside the hospital, while providing near real-time data to the clinician.
GE Healthcare will combine its acute patient monitoring capabilities in the hospital setting with AMC Health’s expertise in RPM solutions leveraging an FDA Class II-approved platform.
The collaboration will extend the continuum of non-acute care for patients after being discharged from the hospital, said GE Healthcare.
GE Healthcare diagnostic cardiology and remote patient monitoring general manager Ashutosh Banerjee said: “Pairing AMC Health’s Remote Patient Monitoring suite with GE Healthcare’s clinical monitoring offering will extend care beyond the clinical setting and enable more patients to continue to receive quality care from the comfort of their homes, delivering healthcare without limits.
“AMC Health was selected as our partner due to their established and proven success engaging with patients to measure numerous biometrics in the home to extend the continuum of care.”
Established in 2002, AMC Health offers a suite of virtual care and remote patient monitoring solutions that leverage an advanced analytics platform and a simple user interface.
The company’s RPM platform, data analytics, hospitals, and payers, will enable providers to implement a simplified strategy to coordinate care.
Its suite of solutions, together with GE Healthcare’s large-scale install base in the US, would help more healthcare providers and patients to access the RPM solutions.
In addition, AMC Health’s holistic solution allows a clinical team to focus on the whole patient and their unique, often complex health conditions.
The at-home monitoring of patients with chronic conditions is said to provide the care team with a complete picture of the patient’s condition.
AMC Health CEO Nesim Bildirici said: “We are excited about this collaboration with GE Healthcare. AMC Health is proud to align with a global leader in healthcare innovation and add our suite of RPM and Virtual Care Solutions to their extensive portfolio of global health system and hospital monitoring solutions.”
