The model will provide immediate access to ER physicians during at-home visits and is expected to reduce healthcare costs, as well as emergency department and hospital visits.
ContinuEM and Falck will offer a comprehensive range of at-home medical services backed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians and ContinuEM’s advanced facilities.
The partners’ integrated approach aims to address challenges in overcrowded hospital-based emergency rooms and enable timely care.
Services will include remote patient monitoring and ContinuEM’s proprietary digital health tools, which make use of artificial intelligence.
