Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) enables caregivers to provide uninterrupted care by using connected devices to continuously report on a patient's health.
To provide RPM with BioT, first integrate your device into BioT's Software Development Kit (SDK) to send a live stream of telemetry data to the BioT measurement module. The telemetry is then processed by BioT’s rule engine or your own algorithm to generate real-time biomarker alerts.
Online and offline monitoring of continuous health measurements and summarized / raw data
Caregivers may be able to view the patient's health measurements, according to their role-based access control (RBAC) permissions
Efficiently store the raw data on the cloud and execute algorithms to derive biomarkers and insights
Use the BioT Rule-based module to trigger alerts and notify users if intervention is required
Many chronic diseases and acute conditions can be treated effectively by using home-use solutions today. However, the benefits cannot be realized if patients take their medication or use connected devices incorrectly or not at all. Therefore patient adherence, persistence and compliance are highly important.
Track adherence, gain data-driven insights as to why adherence might be low, and increase the patient's persistence for better outcomes
Calendar views for adherence and rules-based alerts for notifying stakeholders when the adherence of an individual patient drops
Patent pending technology for predicting non-adherence and issuing proactive alerts
For the medical device company, the detailed and structured adherence database may be easily queried
Today when a company launches a medical device to market, both the FDA and the EU MDR may require the company to follow up on the patients that use the device in order to monitor postmarket safety and adverse events. Furthermore, as a device company you'd probably like to know if your device is as effective in the real world as it was during the clinical trial. BioT provides you with the set of tools to both comply and analyze your device efficacy.
The BioT Patient Reported Outcomes (PROM) Questionnaire module allows you to create patient questionnaires, set rules for when they are delivered, calculate answer scores, and visualize scoring trends over time
The Electronic Data Collection (EDC) module allows you to seamlessly integrate the real-world data (RWD) collected by BioT into your EDC or electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) system
The Anonymization & Deidentification module supports a variety of data and image formats and allows you to centralize patient data in a single location for conducting big data research
Adding connectivity to your medical device can be crucial for transitioning your company to a new value delivery model. However, this opportunity also presents risks that need to be mitigated.
Would you like to protect your unique IP and algorithms but feel that a patient-held device is not a secure location, or if you want to frequently upgrade your algorithm but find remote firmware updates cumbersome to manage, there is a single solution: create a distributed processing system and run your algorithm on the cloud.
Using the BioT plugin technology you will be able to inject your custom code in any coding language to any BioT module. For example, if injected to the BioT Measurement module, you will be able to process raw data from the device and translate it into biomarkers that will enrich the Measurement. And injected to the BioT Adherence module, you will be able to set your own rules as to what counts as adherence and what does not
Using BioT’s Plugin Updater tool, you can easily update your algorithms across all your global deployments as frequently as you like
How can you ensure that in-home treatment would be as effective as in hospital, or the patients would properly tune the medical device according to the personal recommendation provided by the caregiver? What if the caregivers themselves recommend a configuration that is in accordance with the protocol set by the device company? The end result of such improper usage is obvious – the patient will not enjoy the optimal benefits of the device, and both - they and their caregiver - may accuse the device of being ineffective.
The BioT ProperUse module makes use of device data and inputs from other BioT modules, such as the PROMs, to detect low efficacy cases, and suspect stakeholders for improper use
In case the stakeholder is a patient, ProperUse, may inform them or their caregiver of the problem
The module also detects the correlation to certain caregivers, and informs them so they can be educated as needed
Until now, reimbursement has been a key barrier to the widespread adoption of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). Providers can now use CPT codes to get reimbursed for the time spent and the medical equipment used for remote patient care. As an RPM device manufacturer, you can enhance your monetization model by receiving a revenue share from RPM reimbursements.
The BioT Reimbursement module helps you streamline RPM reimbursement by tracking the time spent by an individual caregiver per each patient
On a monthly basis the module creates reimbursement reports for all patients eligible for the RPM codes, and sends them to the configured recipients
Towards the end of the month, the Reimbursement module also sends alerts to caregivers who spent nearly enough but not enough time according to the criteria defined by the CPT codes on certain patients
