Product Description:

The Propeller Digital Therapeutic Platform

Propeller’s FDA-cleared digital therapeutic platform consists of Bluetooth-enabled sensors, a digital patient experience through mobile app or web portal, a clinician insights portal for remote monitoring, plus tailored patient support through virtual coaching. These components seamlessly integrate with one another to improve health outcomes for patients, and in turn, drive measurable clinical and business outcomes for healthcare organizations. Here’s how it works:

  1. PropellerConnect™ Sensors & Data Connectivity: Propeller sensors capture unique signals that passively record events, such as medication usage or respiration, and transmit data to Propeller via Bluetooth or hub connection. Sensors are compatible with more than 80% of inhaled medications on the U.S. market, including medications for MDI, Respimat®, Diskus®, Ellipta®, and Symbicort® inhalers.*
  2. MyPropeller™ Patient App & Portal: Sensor data is sent to the Propeller mobile app or online portal, empowering patients to learn about their breathing and triggers while delivering personalized, motivating journeys that build healthy habits.
  3. PropellerInsight™ Clinical Decision Support & Analytics: Via an EHR integration or our Clinician Portal, care teams can remotely monitor patients’ medication use and view on-demand reports to gain a clearer understanding of disease control status, symptoms, and triggers. These insights help inform clinical decisions and treatment plans, and enable proactive identification of patients who may be at a greater risk for an exacerbation and require timely clinical intervention.
  4. PropellerCare™ Support and Coaching: Propeller’s patient success team ensures users receive personalized support and coaching to help them confidently navigate the platform, stay focused on their goals, and take control of their breathing.

About Propeller Health:

Propeller Health is a precision digital health company on a mission to uplift every person living with chronic disease so they can take control of their health and live a better life. We power motivating, care-connected patient journeys and unify value for all stakeholders – providers, health systems, payers, pharmaceutical companies, and other healthcare and life sciences organizations.

The Propeller Platform includes FDA-cleared and CE-marked medical devices, consumer apps, support, and secure access to clinical data for provider monitoring. Our precision approach motivates behavior change and tracks patient adherence that enables medication optimization, helping predict costly exacerbations. We set the scientific standard in digital-first chronic respiratory care through our peer-reviewed research demonstrating improved quality of life and clinical outcomes while lowering healthcare costs.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of ResMed, Propeller brings broad respiratory care expertise, digital therapeutic coverage, and scale globally.

Product Description:

Virtual nursing (or tele-nursing) involves relocating eligible nursing duties to telemedicine delivery to allow bedside nurses to focus on patient care tasks that must be undertaken in-person. As healthcare facilities rethink the delivery of nursing services, a customizable virtual nursing component will be an important component. Hicuity Health Virtual Nursing offers an expansive menu of customized virtual nursing functions designed to address the significant increase in bedside nurse turnover and the increasing need to support bedside nurses in providing in-person care.

About Hicuity Health:

Hicuity Health is the nation’s leading provider of high acuity telemedicine services, contracted to provide remote patient monitoring (RPM) or critical care to partner hospitals and health systems nationwide. Our proprietary clinical response platform leverages U.S. board-certified clinicians, certified technicians, nine technology-enabled care centers, and sophisticated connectivity and diagnostic technology to deliver 24 x 7 x 365 clinical expertise and proven clinical results to patients, families, and providers in more than 100 hospitals across30 states.

Product Capabilities

Our sensors attach to patients’ existing inhalers, reminding patients to take their medications on time and automatically tracking medication use data. This information is sent wirelessly to a patient’s mobile app or web portal account, helping them learn about their symptoms, triggers, and medication use habits (including when, where, and how often they dose). Clinicians can easily access this important data, too — either by using the Propeller Clinician Portal or through an integration with their EHR.

Propeller takes the guesswork out of understanding patient adherence and disease control. Between visits, clinicians can receive notifications when patients have not been adherent to controller medication or when rescue medication use increases significantly, helping them proactively identify and intervene with their most at-risk patients, and enabling health systems and hospitals to focus finite resources on patients who need it most.

Propeller expands access to our platform and helps overcome literacy challenges through the use of appropriate reading levels for different audiences, based on the Flesch-Kincaid scale. Our platform, including our patient-facing mobile app and web portal, is available in 16 different languages. Additionally, patients without access to mobile devices or internet service can still experience all the benefits of Propeller with a cellular hub — a smartphone alternative offered through clinical and commercial programs. The hubs simply plug into a wall outlet, passively capture medication use, and seamlessly transmit that data to the patient’s provider.

One component of Propeller’s digital therapeutic platform is PropellerCare™, in which our patient success team ensures users receive personalized support and coaching to help them confidently navigate the platform, stay focused on their goals, and take control of their breathing. By surrounding patients with continuous support and care connections, they become more engaged in self-managing their condition and stay motivated to take actions that will largely impact their overall health.

Propeller offers patients two primary delivery options when it comes to engagement: a mobile app and a web portal (desktop or tablet). With either option, patients can view their medication use data on-demand, track their symptoms and triggers, and access personalized, educational content to learn more about their conditions.

In addition to personalized environmental insights such as air quality, the Propeller platform offers tailored educational content to help patients learn more about their conditions, personalized tips for self-management, and custom insights based on a patient’s medication use trends. For example, the mobile app can preemptively advise patients to consult with their providers when a significant increase in rescue medication use is detected.

Our suite of 10+ FDA and CE cleared devices cover more than 80% of all inhaled medications on the market. These devices/sensors snap onto patients’ existing inhalers, passively record medication events, and seamlessly transmit that data to a patient-facing mobile app or web portal for on-demand viewing.

When it comes to providers and clinicians, one of the biggest considerations we’ve kept in mind when developing our platform is ensuring that it is simple to use. Providers may not have as much time as they’d like to routinely check patient data. Our platform is designed such that there are several ways for providers and clinicians to receive critical patient data for clinical decision making, without the need to log in to another website or portal. For example, providers can elect to receive daily email notifications informing them of patients who are not adherent or may be overusing their rescue medications. For providers with an EHR integration, custom dot-phrases make it easy to pull patient data from their charts. At any time, Propeller’s clinician (and patient) support teams are available to answer any questions regarding training, onboarding, and technical support.

The Propeller Digital Therapeutic Platform can integrate into leading EHR platforms — including Cerner and Epic (via Redox) — making it easier for clinical staff to receive objective patient data and enhanced clinical decision support, all within their native workflows. The implementation process can take 12-16 weeks, depending on the program design and the organization’s governance structure.
