Providing equity and equality with telehealth

Credit: https://equineteurope.org/

The rapid deployment of telehealth in the last years has reduced health disparities giving the patients the access to care from their home. Among the challenges that some groups of people were experiencing with traditional care we can see mobility limitations, transportation and limited access to it, distance to specialists and culturally-competent providers, language barriers and others. 

 

 

The US census analysis conducted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioner showed that over 18 percent of Black households do not have access to any vehicle. In addition, 11 percent of Hispanics, 13 percent of Native Americans, and 11 percent of Asians lack access to any vehicle. With telehealth, patients from rural and other remote areas can easily connect with the health providers without spending time and money on transportation and waiting in lines for the next available doctor. They are also provided with a choice of doctor they can connect with. The convenient access to care lowers the burden of family caregivers taking care of patients with special needs and chronic conditions. Today, 76% of US hospitals are already using telehealth and this number is growing

 

 

Besides equality, telehealth solutions also bring equity, personalized approach and affordability. Seeing the future in telehealth and remote patient monitoring, digital health technologies are more generously funded by private venture capitalists and supported by insurance companies

 

 

With telehealth technologies doctors and other healthcare providers can do virtual visits, monitor their patients remotely using web-based and mobile applications and wearable devices that automates the data transmission and record process. Depending on the RPM provider, healthcare workers can track different vital sign measurements like blood pressure, heart rate, heart variability, oxygen level, blood sugar etc. Telehealth allows data sharing between healthcare provider and patient and between healthcare entities more easily. Patients can virtually get their results, medication reminders, and healthcare providers can ensure patients are compliant with their treatment recommendations.

 

 

SenSights Care developed on the SenSights.AI Platform 

Our SenSights Care Tablet Solution  helps to solve the problem of undetected falls & wellness monitoring in seniors by offering the only state-of-the-art passive monitoring platform where the seniors/patient does not have to wear/charge anything.

 

 

It makes monitoring seniors and patients with chronic conditions like COVID-19, Memory, Falling, Wandering, Wellness, Diabetes, COPD/CHF and other illnesses effortless and convenient. The use of audio, video and text communication via phone and popular social media platforms (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube) would help seniors to be constantly connected to the 24/7 nurse help desk in the region.

 

 

The Touchless Camera-Free Fall Detection sensor(s) connected to the SenSights Care app would notify the nurse desk if a fall occurred, so they can provide timely help to the patient. Contactless Wellness Monitoring is also available for seniors via Veyetals app embedded in SenSights Care Solution. So, forgetting to put on wearables for health monitoring is not an issue anymore. The main indicators that are tracked include Falls, Activity, Ambient Sensing, Geolocation, Steps, Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability, Respiration Level, Temperature, Blood Pressure and Blood Glucose. The family members and doctors can also be added to the circle of care and receive medical alerts in case of health deterioration or emergency. The remote health monitoring is secure, Ontario verified and HIPAA compliant.
