ChronicWatch ‪٤+‬

Chronic Watch has built a sophisticated, universal platform that addresses the diverse needs of discharge staff at a hospitals, case management teams at health plans and ACOs, and home health agencies. The platform can integrate seamlessly into all three work flow environments, and results in cost savings and a reduction in avoidable hospital re-admissions..

Among the salient differentiating features of the Chronic Watch platform is that after minimal setup effort, it operates in an entirely automated fashion. Users are only engaged when a potential adverse event alert is issued by the system. The design includes all parties, including primary caregivers ( i.e., family members) and affiliates, enabling them to work together in concerted fashion to bring patients into compliance using analytically based feedback to track, monitor and improve medication compliance and vital monitoring to identify any impending medical crisis. Based on market feedback, Chronic Watch is planning to add rewards and more gamification for patient access to further enhance engagement and compliance.

The Chronic Watch platform supports a wide range of continuing care activities. For example, it can assist in discharge planning, guidance, and follow up for items such as post discharge physiotherapy or interval x-rays for casts, flu shots, lifestyle modification, and medication compliance. It stimulates more productive family engagement by making it easier for family members to be alerted on their smartphones and to rapidly video link to chronically ill patients within the platform environment.
