Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring reduces costs, travel times, and allows patients to recover at home without the risk of exposure to illness that could delay recovery.
Many patients are kept overnight or longer in the hospital for monitoring to ensure they do not have any post illness or minor surgical complications. By using Sempulse’s technology, now we can discharge and remotely monitor these patients. Outpatient surgery patients can be discharged sooner and recover in their own homes, reducing overall costs and opening beds and resources up to those in need.
A Growing Field
Telemedicine is a multi-billion-dollar industry making up roughly one-fourth of the health IT market, with exponential growth projections year after year. Currently over half of all hospitals in the U.S. have established a telemedicine program, 48 states require insurance to cover telemedicine, and 90% of U.S. healthcare executives report that their organization has formed or are in the process of forming a telemedicine program. Telehealth is already proving to enhance patient outcomes. Its application in the V.A.’s post cardiac arrest care program reduced hospital readmissions by 51%. Hospitals utilizing telemedicine have also seen the length of stay for ER visits substantially reduce, and ICU survival rates increase.
Physiological Monitoring
Currently, acquiring real time patient vitals in a virtual clinic setting is costly, difficult, and time consuming. Sempulse provides a lightweight, reusable, non-invasive sensor that is easy to use and eliminates the need for multiple costly sensors that require highly trained operators. These monitoring capabilities ensure patients receive proper and informed medical care that is consistent with their injuries and illnesses, supporting enhanced medical decision making, and increasing positive patient outcomes.

Letting Doctors Do Their Jobs
In addition to continuous vital signs monitoring, Sempulse also automatically documents and categorizes patients, eliminating many of the paper trail barriers for medical personnel. With automatic and objective diagnosing, immediate documentation, and informed prioritization, Sempulse enables telemedicine practitioners to avoid the distractions and focus on patients care.
