Meadville chief innovation officer Barry Bittman said the hospital is using the remote monitoring programme to improve chronic condition outcomes and ongoing care for its patients after discharge from the hospital.

"The electronic house call solution will allow our clinicians to remotely monitor our patients’ conditions and continue to coordinate their care after they leave the hospital," Bittman added.

"Electronic house call is designed for this type of programme and includes the intuitive technology and rich feature-set that we were seeking to support our continuous care objectives."

Meadville Medical Center, a community hospital, serves around 75,000 people in Crawford County, as well as 150,000 people from northwestern Pennsylvania.
