Home Healthcare Solution
The Challenge
A lot of people in the US receive home healthcare for chronic illness or disability. The service is expensive because it needs a physician or a registered nurse to travel to a patient’s home to examine and assess the patient. This is a significant factor in driving up home healthcare costs. Often these results in Insurance companies denying coverage for home healthcare.
Bridgera Solution
We developed a mobile app-based home healthcare solution for a healthcare startup that allowed them to employ low-cost resources to capture medical information during a home healthcare visit using their smartphone. The information captured during the patient visit was then made available for further review and validation by a physician or registered nurse at a central location through the mobile app. We used our HIPAA compliant Bridgera IoT platform for data ingestion, processing, storage, and analytics. Our solution offered a highly cost-effective alternative for home healthcare by combining remote diagnosis with robust IoT technologies. It also offers a platform to help our customers to expand their service offerings in several innovative ways.
