A regional hospital system in the US has turned to Canadian health tech firm CloudMD Software & Services for remote patient monitoring (RPM).

The name of the hospital system was not revealed, other than the fact that it is a “major” provider.

Through its proprietary HealthyLYF app and portal, CloudMD will cater to the health provider’s more than 25,000 eligible Medicare patients and 115 healthcare providers.

This RPM programme aims to provide proactive care to patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses, by monitoring and managing these patients remotely.

In doing so, the aim is to help reduce visits to emergency units.

CloudMD CEO Karen Adams said: “Our team has created and refined a differentiated remote patient monitoring programme, and this hospital system contract is a testament to that.
