US-based healthcare technology company UTMHealthcare has collaborated with virtual care platform Somml Health to launch NuLink Health, a platform designed to enhance the care of patients with complex chronic ailments.
The new service seeks to improve patient outcomes and operational efficiencies for medical practices by reducing hospital readmissions for at-risk patients.
NuLink Health uses UTMHealthcare's remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution and Somml Health's virtual care platform.
The solution allows patient data to be shared securely in real-time across clinical settings, improving care coordination and provider ease.
The system data is fully merged into electronic medical records to ensure that up-to-date patient information is accessible to healthcare providers on real-time basis.
NuLink Health primarily targets patients with congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, behavioural health issues, hypertension and chronic infections.
These patients often face significant challenges in managing their health, including the time and resources needed for care.
UTMHealthcare partner and co-founder Seth Lachterman said: “NuLink transmits live, accurate and secure patient data to help busy medical practices manage the care of chronic disease patients.
“We are pleased that this collaboration will deliver new technology that improves health outcomes, keeps patients out of the hospital, and expands capacity in specialty practices.”
Somml Health co-founder and CEO Kurt Lozier said: “The number of individuals with chronic disease continues to grow and our current healthcare system must work harder and smarter to keep up.
“Combining the power of our platform with UTMHealthcare’s remote monitoring technology to create NuLink Health gives us a tool that is stronger than the sum of its parts, with major benefits for providers and patients.”
Last year, UTMHealthcare introduced an upgraded version of its RPM solution that can be seamlessly integrated with electronic health record (EHR) systems, allowing data to be shared securely across clinical settings.
