Current Health and Patients Know Best have announced a partnership this week to deliver an integrated platform to manage long term conditions and keep patients in their home.
The platform lets clinicians and care teams monitor vital signs and health information in real-time with an aim to reduce hospital admissions and support clinicians manage chronic conditions better.
Current Health helps healthcare providers to intervene proactively at home and in hospital via continuous, wireless monitoring and precise early warning alerts. The partnership will mean Current’s remote patient monitoring will be utilised with the Patients Know Best portal.
Mohammad Al-Ubaydli, CEO and Founder of Patients Know Best “The BMJ and others have long highlighted the importance of informing patients and relatives in real-time about the progress of an acute illness. Recovery can be faster and safer at home, surrounded by family and loved ones, whilst freeing up hospital beds. It’s a pleasure to work with Current as their solution delivers safe early discharge with remote monitoring by hospital staff, whilst PKB informs patients and carers about their progress and treatment. We look forward to bringing this to more patients more quickly across the world.”
Christopher McCann, CEO of Current Health “By combining Current’s real-time, passive remote patient monitoring with PKB’s patient portal, clinicians will have instant access to a complete picture of a patient’s health, from their respiratory and oxygen saturation rates to their medications and allergies and most recent discharge information, which will allow for improved clinical workflows, reduced hospital readmission and, ultimately, better patient outcomes.”
The first deployment of this joint solution will be at Imperial College Healthcare Trust as part of the Care Information Exchange project in North West London.
