@arwmd @iamritu @HelenBurstin @jameyedwards @Lacktman @stacy_hurt No sustainable clinical program can be based on short term/one time government grants.Only those practices and providers who can ‘see’/execute on the value of caring for patients remotely so other new patients can be scheduled - and quality outcomes can be achieved - will make it

[sandy gomberg @sandragomberg]

@dvasishtha And why we believe that phone apps and tablets are not effective sustainable data transmission ‘nodes’ to get the home vitals data - especially for frail older adults and vulnerable populations- to your product or the EHR - right into care teams’ workflow. #vitalshub

[sandy gomberg @sandragomberg]

@dvasishtha I call the health systems with strategies that only focus on hospital based digital strategy (e-icu and ‘privileged device-centric tactics) the ‘proton beam crew’. They are missing the whole point of bridging the digital divide and using digital tech to improve access

@dvasishtha MUSC and Lehigh Valley Health Network.

[sandy gomberg @sandragomberg]

@dvasishtha I agree that those health systems with piece-meal and disorganized digital health strategies will face all the struggles you outline.

@PrimeHealthCO @VitalsHub So proud of the Stel Life team.The Vitals Hub eliminates patient burden of pairing devices with cell or tablet apps - bridging the digital divide. The Stel patented technology ‘simply’ works to transmit home vitals to care teams right into the EHR or platform and workflow.

Let’s hear it for @VitalsHub (Stel Life) a #2021InnovationChallenge Semifinalist! This year’s Challenge competition is fierce but Stel Life has the judges wanting to know more about their ways of automatically collecting patient data through smart devices.

@UCScienceCenter @ic3401 @VitalsHub @SidKandan Thank you UCScienceCenter @ic3401 for sharing Stel's amazing story of resilience as a start up battling COVID-19. What a privilege to work shoulder to shoulder with the Stel team to bring a full production operation to @IC3401 to support the needs of patients during COVID-19.

@AmericanTelemed https://t.co/mBXoI76j6N appreciates ATA’s work. RPM has saved lives and supported COVID-19 responses. Let’s move forward to embed RPM into standard is care services.

@VNikolian @jameyedwards @EvanKirstel @stacy_hurt @arwmd @IrmaRaste @CeciConnolly @HelenBurstin @AmiBhattMD @Lacktman @iamritu @Gil_Bashe Totally agree! The people who need the care of the most don’t have access to the tools to do high speed video communication. Chronically ill patients simply need to take their vital signs And trust that the data gets into the hands of the care team.

[sandy gomberg @sandragomberg]

@jameyedwards @EvanKirstel @stacy_hurt @arwmd @IrmaRaste @CeciConnolly @HelenBurstin @AmiBhattMD @Lacktman @iamritu @Gil_Bashe Full stop. Seriously folks. Patients who need RPM and telehealth are the most vulnerable in the least likely to have accessible technology. Smart phones and tablets don’t do it. Simple solutions and reliable contact with care management is well documented as the solution.

[sandy gomberg @sandragomberg]

@jameyedwards @EvanKirstel @stacy_hurt @arwmd @IrmaRaste @CeciConnolly @HelenBurstin @AmiBhattMD @Lacktman @iamritu @Gil_Bashe I agree. It’s people. Actually, more specifically, it’s the workflow that people use to care for patients. Stel can integrate with Epic one day. However, it could take weeks to months for the Care Team to figure out how to structure the clinic workflow in order to use RPM data.

[sandy gomberg @sandragomberg]

@JuddHollander @IrmaRaste Judd, under value-based payments and total cost of care organizations are not going to get direct line of sight into fee-for-service payment for RPM. Organization need to decide whether it’s worth spending $500-$1000 a year per patient to prevent at $11,000 readmission using RPM

.@VitalsHub transmits health data from monitoring devices to health platforms using our #cellular #nRF9160 SiP and #Bluetooth #nRF52840 SoC. "We selected nRF9160 SiP for the Stel Vitals Hub largely because of the amazing multi-band support provided" https://t.co/Znb9YHGxnk 👇

@VitalsHub @bostonsci Stel uses sophisticated technology to provide an elegantly simple RPM solution. No pairing, WiFi, internet or cell phone needed. Fully accessible to all populations. Stel has earned its place as the global connected health solution. So proud to be part of the Stel team!
