Patient IO helps professionals create personalized care plans that can be delivered to patients outside the clinic. The platform’s mobile care plans enable patient self-care and unlock “superior data insights” about adherence and patient health outside the clinic. The platform also enables doctors to deliver treatment-specific tasks, reminders and educational content directly to patients’ or their caregivers’ smartphones. It synthesizes multiple care plans from multiple providers into a unified set of daily tasks for the patient. Health professionals can review submitted health information in real-time as patients complete their care plan.

Patient IO helps professionals create personalized care plans that can be delivered to patients outside the clinic.“With this funding, we will continue to modernize paper-based care plan programs and bring them into the digital era through the Patient IO platform,” said Filament Labs CEO Jason Bornhorst. “Patient IO was built in close collaboration with patients and their providers – we absolutely had to build a product designed to fit within existing health care workflow.”

Patient IO’s web dashboard lets health professionals track patients from their desktop. User-configurable alerts are sent if patients stray too far from their care plan, helping providers focus on their highest risk patients. And unlike other care plan solutions, Patient IO offers a full set of API’s to make integration with existing care management software seamless.
