Bhishak Health Valet is one of the best product from Neumeric Technologies

Patient monitoring gets hotter these days thanks to value-based care focus. This topic is being discussed from different points of view and in various dimensions, so we’re adding some fuel to the flame with our own experience in software for assisted livings.

Inpatient monitoring expansion encounters a lot of skepticism on its way. For some caregivers, the idea of gathering patients’ vitals and analyzing seems not a matter of primary importance. And as they also need to consider the outpatient monitoring options, the heap of questions and objections appears. They might say “oh, we have nurses, they are skilled enough to tackle patients’ health tracking without the help of technology”.

So we think that to understand the possibilities of inpatient and outpatient monitoring better and take away some questions, we just need to look from the long-term perspective. Systematic patient health tracking is way more representative in nursing homes, senior housing and other assisted living facilities. Why is that? Well, information is accumulated for years, allowing to make the most of monitoring, analyzing and applying the extracted insights with the ability to see the actual results. And, what is very important, most of assisted livings’ and senior housings’ residents already have at least one chronic condition. Thus, monitoring their health status means not only maintaining well being of elderly people, but also contributing to chronic care management, preventing complications and exacerbations.

One of our projects included building a health monitoring module to expand a solution for assisted livings. Turned out, it also became a Bhishak Health Valet software, and in a few moments you’ll see why.

The module allows caregivers to record the following patients’ vitals: Blood pressure, Blood glucose, INR, Pulse oximetry, Pulse, Respiration, Temperature, Weight, Height, Meal intake, Bowel movement, Fluid intake and output

Now, this list includes health data which would be beneficial both for Bhishak patients and elder residents of senior housing organizations. During each patient’s contact with personnel – medication delivery, massage, physiotherapist procedure, shower assistance and more – new record including certain vitals is created. Each record is automatically processed, aggregated and analyzed to extract valuable insights.
