Doctor On Demand

Image
Like other telehealth providers, Doctor on Demand saw a surge in patients as offices closed to in-person visits and insurers ramped up reimbursement for virtual visits. The company saw usage of its app more than double, with much of that growth from urgent care and behavioral health. “I think the growth is really coming more from people realizing this option exists,” Ferguson said. “Our challenge as a company has been getting you to try it for the first time; breaking the habit of going to an urgent care or brick-and-mortar location.” Most of its users access its services through their employer or health plan, though Doctor on Demand also has a self-pay option. Walmart is one of its known partners. To differentiate itself from its competitors, Doctor on Demand has also been building out a virtual primary care practice. The company struck a partnership with Humana last year to develop a new health plan built around virtual primary care. Patients who use the plan will have a d...

Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Transition Care Management (TCM)

Image
CyberMedCorp RPM services will initially focus on patients with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). Through digital collection tools, including wearable monitoring devices, mobile apps, secure messaging, and surveys, CyberMedCorp's RPM services will monitor patient health data, assess their chronic condition(s) and offer providers the ability to adjust treatment plans. Health data can include weight change, stool frequency and characteristics, appetite, fever or other indicators for change in disease and symptom progression. "Specialists need better ways to get closer to patients, especially in these times of isolation". "With RPM, we can expand our specialty protocols to better manage complex conditions like IBD without inconveniencing patients." When using RPM to monitor patients outside the practice, providers can more appropriately assess risk and decide which patients benefit most from conservative measures or more aggre...

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

Image
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Current Health today announced it has partnered with Dexcom to add continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) capabilities to Current Health’s AI-powered remote patient monitoring ( RPM ) platform. By continuously monitoring patients’ glucose levels – largely considered the fifth vital sign – the Current Health platform will empower health systems to secure actionable and comprehensive insights into overall patient health, resulting in improved patient outcomes and decreased healthcare costs. With an estimated 463 million people across the globe – or one out of every 11 adults – suffering from diabetes, health systems need insight into patients’ whole health – including glucose levels – to best manage at-risk patients. Given people with diabetes are particularly vulnerable to a variety of illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, nerve damage and Alzheimer’s disease – not to mention COVID-19 – health care providers need to be able to continuously monitor glucose...

E-visit to the Doctor and TeleMedicine

Image
There is a corollary argument popular among health care Internet companies and their backers that, even if the Internet does induce demand for more medical resources, the associated costs will be offset by various types of "remote doctoring" that the Internet will soon enable. Such remote doctoring falls into two categories: formalized e-mail-type physician "visits" by patients; and disease management systems that route patient clinical measurements from their home computers and/or medical devices to centralized nursing stations. If we believe that either of these new services will displace, rather than add new costs to the health care system, we should look, respectively, at the realities of medical practice and the sad fate of telemedicine over the past decade. Many have argued that " e-visit s" between physicians and patients have the potential to preclude entire office visits. The key issue associated with the supplanting of office visits by e-mail ...

Contact Virtual Doctor and Telemedicine

The COVID-19 pandemic has confronted the healthcare system with daunting challenges and tragically exposed significant problems. But with these great trials came the opportunity for our medical professionals to meet adversity with innovative solutions that widen our healthcare horizons. On that score, the easing of outdated telehealth restrictions was a slam dunk. Among the most pressing concerns we had to face during this pandemic was how routine and elective care could be delivered while people were being encouraged to stay home. To flatten the curve while also making sure basic healthcare needs were still being met, physicians had to rethink the way they delivered care. There was just one problem: Archaic laws prevented telemedicine , technologies that have been around for decades, from being widely accessible. But with help from state and federal officials, outdated laws were temporarily relaxed to allow more people access to groundbreaking technology that let them consult th...

Medical Records

Image
The judge in a civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell has decided to unseal a majority of the documents in the dispute, including a 2015 deposition from Jeffrey Epstein's former cohort that could provide insight into their extraordinary life of wealth, power and privilege. The decision is part of a 2015 defamation lawsuit brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre. The lawsuit was settled three years ago. Giuffre has been fighting to get a batch of sealed court documents made public. The documents purportedly contain the names of hundreds of people, some famous and powerful, who socialized, traveled or worked with Epstein and Maxwell over the span of a decade. Epstein, a convicted pedophile, had been previously linked to high-profile business and political players, including Presidents Trump and Bill Clinton as well as Prince Andrew. Last month, Maxwell's attorney, Jeffrey Pagliuca, had asked the court to keep the records under seal, arguing that public interest in t...
