Vesta Healthcare, a provider of home-based healthcare solutions, has partnered with Medical Guardian to offer an integrated solution for chronic care management and remote patient monitoring (RPM).
The partnership aims to reduce hospitalisations for Medicaid and Medicare members by combining 24/7 clinical oversight of Vesta Healthcare with advanced monitoring devices of Medical Guardian.
Medical Guardian’s monitoring devices include cellular-connected vitals monitoring devices and personal emergency response systems (PERS).
The devices are user-friendly and the integration of RPM and PERS allows for real-time health monitoring in the home setting.
With the assistance of these devices, Vesta Healthcare's clinicians collect health information, including blood pressure, weight, oxygen levels, and fall detection.
Vesta Healthcare CEO Randy Klien said: “By combining our expertise, we are excited to take this next step in revolutionising how care is provided and monitored at home.
“This partnership will empower patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers with better tools, data, and resources, leading to more informed and efficient care decisions.”
Medical Guardian's devices come equipped with reminders to encourage members to take their readings, and the data is effortlessly sent to Vesta's clinical team without requiring apps or manual input.
These devices support adherence, improve understanding of member health, and allow prompt emergency response services.
Furthermore, the ongoing RPM data enables Vesta's clinical team to spot trends and avert health issues, thereby promoting a cooperative relationship between healthcare providers and patients.
This initiative is designed to assist members in preserving their autonomy and well-being by providing high-quality care at home.
Medical Guardian chief commercial officer Alex Prough said: “We’re proud to partner with Vesta to create a streamlined, effective solution for our partners and their members.
“Together, we’re providing a simple, powerful way to reduce risks and hospitalisations while enhancing member well-being with devices and services to support proactive monitoring 24/7.”
