Empowering Chronic Kidney Disease Patients with Remote Monitoring - Let’s Celebrate World Kidney Day To celebrate World Kidney Day on March 14, Vironix Health, Inc., is delighted to announce the latest release of our virtual care monitoring module for the management of #chronickidneydisease (CKD). Our research-based, AI-driven algorithms can reduce the risks associated with CKD through ongoing #remotepatientmonitoring and #chroniccaremanagement. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 37 million US adults have CKD, and most are undiagnosed. Among those with severely reduced kidney function but not on dialysis, 40% are not even aware of having CKD. In 2019, treating Medicare beneficiaries with CKD cost $87.2 billion, while treating people with end-stage renal disease cost an additional $37.3 billion. Vironix now offers remote patient monitoring (RPM) for chronic kidney disease. Both healthcare providers and patients can track vitals, weight, and other key health data remotely, enabling 🔎 Early detection of complications: Through daily monitoring, RPM can identify potential issues like rising blood pressure or fluid overload before they become emergencies. 🏥 Reduced hospitalizations and avoided emergency room visits: Early detection and intervention through RPM can prevent complications that could require an ER visit or hospitalization. 😀 Enhanced patient engagement: RPM empowers patients to take an active role in managing their condition, fostering a sense of control and well-being. 😊 Improved peace of mind: When caregivers and family members are far away from their loved ones with CKD, the Vironix remote patient monitoring solution shares their vital measurements, assuring or alerting them about the patient’s condition. Remote patient monitoring for CKD patients is an investment in their health and wellbeing. Contact Vironix at support@vironix.ai to learn about how you can use the Vironix technology to improve CKD care. #chronicdisease #kidneyhealth #RPM #telehealth #healthcare #healthcareinnovation Sumanth Swaminathan Botros T.s Ram Reddy Sriram Ramanathan Jatin Rajput Christopher Chew Nicholas Wysham Chris Landon Mahesh Visvanathan Emily Twanmo, MBA, MHS Andrew Paolillo Jeff Hanson, MPH Shadin Hilton MS, MBA, RNC, PMP, CPHQ

 🔍 Recent insights from a McKinsey & Company article shed light on the evolving landscape of chronic diseases and the need for health systems to innovate. They highlight the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, accounting for significant healthcare utilization and costs. 💡 Key takeaways: -Chronic disease patients represent a significant portion of healthcare spending. -There's a shift from focusing on episodic care to understanding patients' lifetime care needs. -Early engagement with chronic disease patients is crucial as they're often loyal to their initial care provider. -Technology plays a pivotal role, with patients showing keen interest in digital tools to manage their conditions. At DocMe, we've recognized the importance of early detection and management. Our app's capability to detect hypertension with a selfie is a testament to how technology can revolutionize the approach to chronic diseases, ensuring better patient outcomes, experience, and healthcare efficiency.

This transition fosters collaboration among payers, providers, and patients to improve health outcomes and manage costs. 🔎From Fee-for-Service to Value-Based Care FFS rewards quantity over quality, leading to higher costs and fragmented care. VBC focuses on preventive care, chronic disease management, and patient engagement to enhance health and control expenses. 🔗Building Collaborative Networks Successful VBC relies on robust collaboration among healthcare stakeholders. Aligning goals ensures preventive measures and chronic disease management reduce costly interventions. 🦠Preventive Care and Chronic Disease Management Key to VBC, preventive care and chronic disease management address health issues early and reduce hospital readmissions, improving quality of life. 🩻Patient Engagement Informed and motivated patients who actively manage their health achieve better outcomes. Education, communication, and shared decision-making drive engagement. 📊Leveraging Data Analytics Data analytics are crucial for measuring success in VBC. Analyzing health data helps identify trends, measure outcomes, and build trust by showcasing improvements. 🔐Sustaining Partnerships Continuous improvement and transparency foster trust and accountability. Sharing data and successes strengthens partnerships and commitment to better health outcomes. Transitioning to VBC is essential.

🔴 Super insightful takeaway messages from the session "Challenges in Chronic disease management with Digital Health" in the 4YFN : 📢 Different key roles in digital health transformation (CIO, Head of Cardiology and Pneumologists) Yolima Cossio, Miriam Barrecheguren, Iñigo Ojanguren Arranz and Dr. Ignacio Ferreira from Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus shared their experience about how Tucuvi is impacting care pathways in chronic disease management with María González Manso. Organised by AstraZeneca, moderated by Miguel Lancha Luquero and led by César Velasco Muñoz. 1️⃣ Tackling Implementation barriers: Low friction implementation for HCPs and easy to use for patients is key to ensure high engagement (+95%) over time. 2️⃣ Patient Behavior hacked: Proactive low complexity technologies (Autonomous clinical phone calls ) reduce redundant workload in HCPs and facilitate patient engagement. 3️⃣ Safety & Trust vs Noise in Digital Health: AI capabilities/prototypes are endless. Certified technologies to be applied RIGHT NOW in the healthcare sector, secure and certified are very few as it is Tucuvi. 4️⃣ Willingness to transform care processes is essential (cultural challenge): Real determination to change the current process is key to ensuring the pathway transformation sustainability. 5️⃣ Shortage of HCPs is not temporary: Currently there are not enough HCPs to tackle the existing challenges of healthcare systems (long waiting lists, chronic patients increase, Hospitals & Primary care overloaded) + we need to plan the next years to come. ❗The conclusion was clear: HCPs urgently need certified, scalable, low-friction implementation technologies to increase their capacities allowing them to become proactive in disease management or we (citizens), will suffer the consequences. The window opportunity is short, the time is NOW.

We live in an age where being connected is just a part of our lives, it’s time that we embrace that connectivity to link patients to better outcomes, and help manage a growing staffing constraint through digital tools. A great article on how combining new technology with trusted safeguards such as RPM and telemedicine can allow us to put patients in the drivers seat of their chronic disease management.

Predictive modeling plays a pivotal role in population health management. By tracking care trends, disease prevalence, and comorbidities within patient populations, healthcare stakeholders can implement strategies to prevent hospital readmissions, encourage preventive care, and address specific health concerns. Predictive analytics allows for a proactive approach to managing the health of populations, identifying high-risk individuals, and tailoring interventions to their needs. #PredictiveAnalytics #PopulationHealthManagement #ValueBasedCare
