Witty Health Inc., www.wittyhealth.com a Houston-based mostly physician-owned company has developed a patent-pending device and video-enabled, real-time, Remote Health Risk Monitoring Platform.
The platform is designed to help employers and payers identify high risk employees and members, have high risk employees and members’ biometrics monitored by their physicians, and lower preventable healthcare costs with a demonstrable return on investment.
Witty Health was established to find new models to combat chronic care diseases through an intelligent, remote health risk monitoring technology. The company is developing a suite of intelligent tools over this platform to help personalize health risk management. The company’s InstaMD platform provides a telemedicine-based remote clinic, home health monitoring, patient diagnosis, and messaging application modules.
Recently, the company launched a remote monitoring health risk management platform designed for payers, small and large businesses, and accountable care organizations. The platform is connected with eight devices, a wireless weight scale, blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter, stethoscope, thermometer, multi-scope camera, ECG and blood glucose monitor. The system can be remotely uploaded while the patient is video conferencing with the physician in real-time or offline from home or office.
“The current healthcare model focusing on treating just the symptoms of chronic conditions by pay-per-procedure basis is not working”, reports Ram Sesha, Co-founder of Witty Health. “Our new path is for value-based models where health risks are monitored in real-time to prevent both the onset and progression of chronic conditions. He adds, “We are also implementing a remote clinic based telehealth project in Singapore”.
