vitaphone e-health solutions is launching the VITA health services for chronic disease management in the US, enabling remote patient monitoring of a variety of conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), diabetes, COPD, hypertension and other chronic illnesses.

Relying on a combination of wireless, remote patient monitoring technology, secure software, and proven communication processes and techniques delivered through a professionally-staffed Telemedicine Service Center, vitaphone’s platform extends health professionals’ reach into their patients’ homes — or wherever the patients may be — to assist in their treatment and ongoing coordinated care.

vitaphone’s platform extends health professionals’ reach into their patients’ homes or wherever the patients may be.“Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) systems, such as VITA health services, benefit doctors and other healthcare professionals by providing the information and analysis tools they need to more efficiently evaluate chronic conditions and prescribe treatment changes, if necessary, with minimal impact on their existing workflow,” said Brad Tritle, President / CEO of vitaphone USA.

The VITA health services promises a higher level of satisfaction for patients while healthcare providers get to better understand their condition. Patients get more confidence in the process, benefiting from more interactions, more precise medication therapy, and the added convenience of not having to make transportation arrangements as frequently.

Providers on their end get to rely on vitaphone to monitor patients from their professionally staffed telemedicine service center in Nevada, where intelligent patient monitoring system filters and triages all relevant patient data via exception-based algorithms, and save time relying on vitaphone staff interactions on their behalf. Lastly, the VITA health services provider portal will also facilitate real-time access to patient biometrics and answers to patient questionnaires.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year in the United States, 1 out of every 4 deaths (about 610,000 people) is caused by heart disease. The CDC also estimates that 29.1 million people, 9.3% of the U.S. population, have diabetes.
