-GCH Platform release 2.0 combines remote monitoring with treatment protocol to facilitate responsible health between individuals and providers-
PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 2, 2016 – Green Circle Health (GCH) announced the availability of 10 care programs on its online patient-to-provider communications gateway, the GCH Platform, strengthening chronic disease and wellness program management by incorporating treatment plans and physician-recommended protocols with the real-time exchange of vitals and health records.
The care programs leverage Bluetooth technology to gather and monitor daily vital signs from activity trackers and personal medical devices, while also recording input directly from the user about their daily conditions. As data is entered, the GCH Platform analyzes the information against pre-set, user-specific care parameters and generates reminders for appointments and medications for patients and care givers. The GCH Platform can recommend remedial actions and also route alerts to healthcare providers, who can monitor the individual’s progress and provide timely intervention. The standard care programs encompass:
- Asthma
- Blood pressure
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
- Diabetes
- Pediatric care
- Prenatal care
- Sickle Cell Disease
- Weight management and
- Family wellness
Insurers and employers can also use the GCH Platform to create custom care programs for individuals and employees to monitor vital signs and activity, track specified goals and offer performance-based rewards to incentivize behavioral changes and strengthen various wellness programs.
“Care programs are increasingly used to optimize management and outcomes in chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity and CHF, “said Sanjay Parikh, M.D., medical director for Pediatric Cardiology and Children’s Health Center at St. Vincent Children’s Hospital, Indianapolis and chief medical officer of GCH. “We envision GCH as a next-generation wellness and disease management platform that uses remote monitoring with mobile health to transform the delivery of care for such chronic conditions. The care programs provided through the GCH Platform assist and empower individuals, physicians and wellness coaches to take active ownership in the management of health, which is essential to achieving lifelong behavioral change and driving down healthcare costs.”
The GCH Platform is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act; it also supports every stage of Meaningful Use.
