Integrated Telehealth and Remote Monitoring Solution

Coviu has partnered with health monitoring software vendor The Clinician to launch an integrated telehealth and remote patient monitoring solution for general practices for the management of COVID-19 patients in the home. Pulse+IT reports.


Coviu and The Clinician App

The solution is similar to a hospital-in-the-home care model and will allow GPs and practice nurses to remotely monitor patients and their symptoms with Bluetooth devices and symptom recording, as well as consult with patients directly through a video call if necessary.

Using the platform, clinicians can enroll their patients in a purpose-built COVID-19 digital solution that collects key vitals such as temperature and blood oxygen saturation levels, as well as subjective patient-reported outcomes like chills, coughing, muscle aches and other symptoms.

 

It can then alert practitioners when a patient’s vital signs are outside the normal parameters, allowing for early intervention by video call. It is also aimed at reducing the need to make routine video calls – which are time-consuming for busy clinicians – several times a day.

 

Coviu CEO and co-founder Silvia Pfeiffer said the idea was to make remote monitoring of patients as simple as possible for general practices, which are being encouraged through the federal government’s $180m primary health package to support COVID-19 cases at home.

 

“What we want to do to help GPs is to make it simpler and as seamless as possible,” Dr Pfeiffer said. “Essentially, the way it would work is for a GP who has already signed up through Coviu or Healthdirect. We would add another element to their interface where they can get the dashboard, which is within The Clinician, to see all of the patients that are being monitored. They don't need to sign up for another platform.”
