An estimated 30% of the world’s data is generated by the healthcare industry. At Vitamin Software, we’re confident that the amount of information generated by telehealth – in particular remote patient monitoring (RPM) – will only grow in size.
The only question is: How rapidly can organizations integrate RPM data with electronic health records (EHRs) and physician workflows?
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) enables the integration of external data – from movement sensors and audiovisual streams, to home health devices and activity trackers – with clinical systems to create a more holistic picture of patient welfare.
At Vitamin, we possess foundational experience with RPM: from use case definition and sensor network design, to the integration of RPM data with existing systems and processes.
Vitamin Software CEO and co-founder Andrei Ismail holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence. His thesis involved the design and deployment of an RPM system with heterogeneous sensor fusion.
Our team designs, builds, and operates systems that collect, store, and analyze data at scale. For organizations leveraging RPM, partnering with Vitamin means in-house data science teams have access to structured data and can focus on core company activities.
How would we integrate RPM into your workflow?
Step 1
Understand your end goal.
At Vitamin, we pride ourselves on both technical expertise and consumer-oriented design. This means we ask the right questions to ensure the technical solution meets your needs.
For RPM, our goal at the outset would be to define which user journeys should be captured using RPM tools. User journeys inform decisions about the types of sensors and local infrastructure that will be incorporated into the solution, and indicate data formats that must be processed.
Step 2
Identify appropriate data and technology solutions.
Technical expertise means our team is familiar with systems engineering good practices (including data security), formats (such as FHIR and EDI), and frameworks (including Agile).
Based on the goal and parameters defined in Step 1, we would next select the appropriate data warehouse and integration technology to consolidate the main data pipeline. For example, the Amazon Healthlake data warehouse provides HIPAA-eligible services to process, maintain, and store protected health information. Airbyte and Databricks offer an integration stack that enables organizations to leverage mainstream cloud resources like AWS to streamline and standardize day-to-day activities.
Step 3
Technical implementation and monitoring.
Then, we bring together the vision of Step 1 with technologies of Step 2 to implement your RPM solution.
Implementation always includes a thorough pre-launch quality assurance testing plan and post-implementation monitoring. Post-monitoring ensures that RPM data feeds continue to produce usable information, and that the solution remains stable even after Vitamin’s involvement ends.
Step 4
Your team focuses on what they do best, using streamlined data.
