Life365 and Catalytic Health Partners have teamed-up to improve health outcomes for Medicare and Medicaid patients in Arizona, while at the same time reducing total cost of care.
The two parties will provide remote monitoring and data delivery for patients with chronic conditions located throughout Arizona. The Life365 solution allows the Catalytic Health care staff to monitor patient vitals, and gain insight into behavior and engagement between face-to-face visits. This information in turn will help the Catalytic Health team pinpoint which members may need intervention or additional support proactively.
Under the deal, members will receive a “personal health tablet” with cellular connectivity; it will serve as both the wireless connectivity to the Life365 back-end system and an easy to use interface where patients can view their biometric health readings and self-monitor themselves.
“Our care staff addresses the health and social needs of our population, and by combining technology with our data analytics system we are able to provide a care model to our members that was missing in the marketplace,” Susan Cordts, Catalytic Health Partners CEO and Founder, said in a statement. “In the first week of rollout we detected members that had out of range readings and were able to act on these insights in a timely manner. The data allows us to keep a closer eye on our individual patient’s health trends and therapy compliance.”
Catalytic Health Partners initially rolled out Life365’s remote monitoring services to their members located in Tucson, Arizona. The plan is to expand monitoring services to additional members throughout Arizona in Q2 2017.
Life365’s software platform integrates healthcare systems with third party digital health solutions, for a variety of disease states. The company works with clients to align digital health technologies to meet the specific needs of patient populations to better engage them and help keep them adherent to therapy. The Life365 solution is currently available for the US market only.
“We designed Life365’s new platform to be solution and device agnostic which allows us to choose and align the right technology solutions to meet a customer’s goals, budget and get their patients on-boarded quickly,” Kent Dicks, CEO and Founder of Life365, said in a statement.
