Integrated, Not Isolated Data Collection The biggest challenge with RPM data is usually where it lives. With Locus, data doesn't sit in a separate portal: Direct to EHR: We feed "discrete data" directly into your EMR flowsheets from our ecosystem of both Bluetooth and Cellular connected devices which include common vital signs, as well as spirometry, fetal doppler, and growing. Manage by Exception: Our system filters the "noise." Instead of scrolling through thousands of normal readings, your team is alerted only when a patient’s data trends outside of their personal "normal" range. This is further fine-tuned by health system partners. Outcomes: Our data consistently demonstrates how remote monitoring has lowered readmission rates and/or shortened hospital stays.

Locus offers several methods for health systems to access and analyze their data: Reporting Dashboard: A built-in dashboard within the Locus web application that provides immediate visibility into program metrics. Custom SQL Reports: The platform supports the creation of specialized

Locus Health’s bidirectional communication capabilities are managed via feature flags, allowing health systems to customize the level of patient engagement based on specific program needs or clinical capacity. Feature Flag Customization Administrators can choose to enable or disable the following communication channels: In-App Messaging: This optional feature allows for secure, non-urgent messaging between the care team and the patient. Video Visits: Programs have the option to "Turn On" video capabilities for 1-to-1 visits or group sessions with up to 49 participants, such as centering sessions or group counseling. Notifications: Clinicians can enable or disable real-time notifications via email or SMS for measurement alerts and new messages. If these are disabled, alerts will still display within the web portal for the care team to manage. Patient notifications happen via HIPAA-compliant banner notifications and "nudges" to take vital signs or login to see a message.

Accessibility and WCAG Compliance Locus is committed to an "accessibility-first" design philosophy, adhering to international standards to ensure an inclusive digital experience: WCAG Compliant Design: The application is built following Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which focus on making digital content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for individuals with various disabilities.

Web-Based Portal (PWA): A web-accessible version for use on any browser. Simple Connectivity: Features like cellular hub connectivity and automated data transmission help patients in rural or underserved areas stay connected without needing complex technical setups.

Pediatric Care Pathways Locus is a leader in pediatric remote patient monitoring (RPM), serving many of the top children's hospitals in the United States. Their pediatric pathways focus on "feeders and growers" and medically complex patients to reduce length of stay (LOS) and improve outcomes. Cardiac: High-risk cardiology, heart failure, VAD, TRAC, and exercise programs for older CHD patients. NICU: Complex discharges (NG tubes/Oxygen), feeders and growers, and substance-exposed newborns. Pulmonary: Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, and Trach/Vent care. General/Other: Solid organ transplant, palliative care, outpatient antimicrobial therapy (OPAT), and the transition from TPN to oral feeds. Adult Care Pathways For adult populations, Locus provides pathways aimed at managing chronic conditions and reducing 30-day readmission risks. Oncology: Specifically developed through NIH/National Cancer Institute awards, including chemotherapy treatment and medication monitoring. Cardiac: Heart failure and cardiac rehab. Pulmonary: COPD and pneumonia. Surgical: Bariatric and urology pathways. General/Chronic: Endocrinology, high-risk obstetrics, mental health, weight management, and spinal cord injury. Transplant: Solid organ and stem cell transplant. Pathway Customization and Scalability While these pathways are prebuilt based on clinical evidence and established best practices, they remain highly flexible: Configurability: Care teams can choose from over 70 different measurement types to design a dashboard that fits their specific program needs. Enterprise Integration: Pathways are integrated directly into the EMR (e.g., Epic, Cerner), allowing for discrete data return and SSO access for clinicians. Logistics Support: Locus manages the full logistics of these pathways, including shipping branded kits with integrated devices (scales, BP monitors, etc.) directly to patients' homes.

The Locus platform is designed to be fully integrated into enterprise health systems. Key features include: Discrete Data Integration: Biometric and symptomatic data from remote monitoring is sent back to the EMR as discrete data, making it actionable within the patient's record. Single Sign-On (SSO): Clinicians can access the Locus dashboard directly through the EMR using SSO via SMART on FHiR, reducing the need for multiple logins. EMR-Based Enrollment: Programs can be configured to allow patient enrollment directly via an EHR order, as seen in implementations like the Inova health system. Patient Portal Integration: Patients can have the option to launch the Locus application directly from within their MyChart (Epic) portal. Appointment Synchronization: Locus can integrate with health system scheduling to provide appointment reminders and updates within the remote monitoring app. This includes incorporating schedules from an EMR, infusion, and transplant systems into one centralized reminder.
