Vivify Health’s remote care management solution is designed to support communication between patients and providers about many health conditions, and to help increase care when the patient is outside of a clinical facility.
Patient engagement and monitoring is accomplished with +HomeTM Managed Health Kits, the +GoTM Mobile App, and an interactive voice response solution (IVR). Vivify Health’s end-to-end platform uses a unique combination of cloud-based services and third-party biometric accessory devices administered by clinicians from the Care Team Portal.
Vivify Health’s +Home Managed Health Kit is a comprehensive remote monitoring solution that includes a tablet and third-party medical devices that align with the assigned patient’s clinical conditions. This is the optimal solution for patients who have limited technical ability and need a “plug and play” solution. We offer services to assist with the deployment and retrieval of the +Home Managed Health Kit.
Vivify Health’s +Go Mobile App is a scalable solution that engages large patient populations via their smartphones. Patients download the +Go Mobile App to their Android or iOS devices and can send biometric data, watch educational videos, complete condition-based pathways, send and receive secure in-app text messages, and conduct video visits with their care teams. Vivify Health’s +Go Mobile App can either be downloaded as a native app or utilized via the patient’s browser on their own mobile device.
With SmartPathTM technology, your care teams can quickly educate and guide patients with dynamically delivered evidence-based content, curated by our in-house master prepared nurse informaticists. Content is available for 40+ stackable, established patient conditions.
Your team can choose and configure the condition-specific preset content relevant to each patient’s health journey. Additionally, custom content creation is possible to support conditions not listed.
