AGNITY Healthcare Expands MobileCare Capabilities for Comprehensive COVID-19 Patient Care

By AIT News Desk On Aug 18, 2020

Inclusion of Vital Monitoring Devices and Alarms for In-Patient and Remote Locations

AGNITY Healthcare, a leading provider of mobile solutions for healthcare delivery systems and providers, announced the release of MobileCare Monitor that includes Bluetooth-enabled remote monitoring devices to continuously monitor the vitals of COVID-19 patients.

Patient care during this pandemic requires fundamental changes to reduce staff exposure to ill persons, preserve personal protective equipment (PPE), and minimize the impact of patient surges on facilities. Health Services will have to evolve in the way they triage, evaluate, and care for COVID-19 patients using methods that do not rely on in-person services. AGNITY MobileCare is a foundation for providing necessary and vital care to patients while minimizing the transmission risk of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to Health Care Personnel and patients.

MobileCare Monitor automates the process of remote patient monitoring. Patients use a wearable device that sends out vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen saturation levels, respiratory rates, and temperature levels. Clinicians are notified through alerts if any vital measurements are out of range. The patient also completes a daily questionnaire about their symptoms, such as fatigue, cough, and shortness of breath, using built in capabilities of the app.

Clinicians can then engage the patient remotely via MobileCare TeleConsult on any iOS or Android device. The care team can collaborate efficiently through MobileCare Enterprise for quicker response to critical events. The combination of MobileCare Enterprise, TeleConsult and Monitor solutions from AGNITY supports most comprehensive integrated care for COVID-19 patients.

In doing so, it enables quick responses to critical events, improved patient care, and clinician productivity from a single device.
