Product Capabilities

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Center for Telehealth team partnered with Stel Life, Inc. to present the results of their innovative “Not Home Alone: A COVID-19 Post-Discharge Remote Patient Monitoring Pilot” program at the October 2022 American Academy of Nursing Health Policy Conference in Washington, D.C.

Stel’s patented “Passive and Secure Heath Device Connectivity” allows patients to connect with their care team without requiring wifi, smartphones, or tech-literacy. Patients simply take their vitals within 100-ft of any smart IoT Hub (Stel, Amazon Echos, Routers), and Stel will securely transmit the measurement to the patient’s EHR and/or care team’s preferred digital health platform. Stel is a push only system and takes no-PHI or customer data in this process. Throughout the pandemic, Stel’s Cellular and Bluetooth Hub base model supported vulnerable patients experiencing the digital divide or challenging social determinants of health. This base Vitals Hub has no buttons, switches, or extra pairing steps. The Vitals Hub has a growing device ecosystem and can connect with hundreds of specialty and general devices for remote care. Stel is working to expand their Operating System to support Internet Modems, Routers, Smart HomeSpeakers, and other internet gateways to enable safe and accessible connectivity needed for all patients to connect with their care-teams. Stel’s patents include: US Pat. 11,165,866 + Pat. 11,246,026

As we move forward, who do we risk leaving behind? The pandemic has exposed the current reality of the digital divide. 43% of lower income americans lack broadband + 60% of medical facilities (outside of metropolitan areas lack broadband) 41% of Medicare beneficiaries lack smartphones Even if they do have access, there’s a question about passwords and security - last year, Knightscope revealed 100% of top 30 Health Apps were hacked. As Health System and Care team are being pushed to formalize equitable digital health strategies, it’s no wonder that we’re seeing headlines stating: “75% of Health System Leaders aren’t happy with their digital health strategy” As Patients and Care Teams evolve the standard of care to the home, common barriers that emerge are: 1) Complexity for Patients (especially those that lack wifi, smartphones, and/or comfort with tech), 2) Care Team burnt out, especially with new systems and non-standardized processes outside the EHR, 3) Varying and non-standard Privacy and Security practices by Device Manufacturers. Motivated by sensor experts being forced to master separate PHI, App Development, and EHR flows in order to commercialize their products. Stel’s proprietary technology is designed to simplify these complexities in a safe and secure way, so Patients and Care Teams have confidence to adopt the new normal of care. Health Systems can use multiple companies as patients navigate Hospital at Home, Transition of Care, Chronic Condition Management, and Wellness - that patient will only need 1 Stel Hub to interact with those various programs.

Rapid Device Integrations: Requested device integrations are completed in record time. Throughout the supply chain hassles, Clinicians were able to switch and offer alternative devices sourced from their local pharmacies. All worked with Stel without any issues. Stel's record was 4 devices integrated over night (before the start of the next work day). Specialty Device Integrations: Stel's supported devices include lab quality home-blood tests to implantable devices. EHR and Digital Health Integrations: Because of Stel's No-PHI flows, Health Systems were able to streamline IT and legal review to complete EHR integration within days (with limited resources).

Check out our customer reviews. We strongly believe in supporting and eliminating burden, hassle, and extra time for care teams boldly evolving care to the home.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

b.well Connected Health distinguishes itself from traditional EHRs by centering on a unified consumer experience, facilitating health systems' progression towards value-based care, and adopting hybrid care models. This unique approach fosters lifelong loyalty between organizations and their communities. b.well's integration of Longitudinal Health Data, encompassing HIPAA-compliant claims, and PROA insights, is remarkable. Utilizing an optimized FHIR server, b.well delivers fast, cost-effective scalability and performance. It simplifies data conversion with pre-built FHIR mapping and refinement tools while providing real-time data streaming for flexible integration.

b.well's tag-based FHIR security mode enhances customer trust through explicit consent and preference gathering, and its efficient identity management system ensures secure user data access. In addition, personalized communication is enabled through machine learning analyses of health records and preferences, and Natural Language Processing is utilized for user-friendly care searches. b.well also customizes care access protocols and employs FHIR-based dynamic questions to streamline data collection, improving care coordination. Finally, advanced clinical rules (CQL) enhance quality measure accuracy, flexibility, and interoperability, reflecting b.well's commitment to transforming population health.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Consumers primarily expect two things from healthcare: prompt accessibility (the digital front door) and anticipatory communication about their health needs. b.well solves for this very consumer need while driving innovation and value to healthcare organization. Below is what b.well has and can deliver that the competition can't:

  • Extensive Data Connections: With 50,000+ data connections, we harness the power of external data sources to enrich insights and drive informed decision-making, setting us apart from others.
  • FHIR Data Model: Unparalleled value by future-proofing systems, facilitating modernization, and rapid onboarding of new partners. This robust foundation supports emerging use cases, such as LLMs & GenAI, enhancing flexibility and speed to market.
  • Precision & Proactive Healthcare: Unlike traditional portals that are episodic and reactive, we prioritize proactive engagement, ensuring we're there for users before an episode occurs, fostering stronger patient-provider relationships and better overall care. 
  • Clinical Quality Language: Our integration of CQL enables you to transition towards value-based care. By standardizing clinical logic, CQL enhances precision and consistency in care delivery, improving outcomes and operational efficiency.
  • Consent Management Framework: Robust consent management framework ensures compliance with privacy regulations while facilitating seamless data sharing and collaboration among stakeholders. This capability instills trust and transparency,
  • Digital Identity Solutions: Secure and seamless authentication process, safeguarding sensitive information while streamlining access for authorized users. This enhances data security and confidentiality, bolstering patient trust and confidence in our platform.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Currently, EHR do not routinely provide RPM Workflows. Many clinicians support RPM with external applications and platforms that create duplicative work and increase the likelihood of transcription errors. The Stel solution provides data directly into the EHR where clinicians are working and allows for seamless access to patient generated health data flowsheets. 

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Stel Vitals Hub has a zero-trust architecture that does not ingest any PHI. Stel does not require the patient to have a smartphone, WiFi, or app-literacy. Ideal for patients struggling from the digital divide.

Health Equity

b.well's content and program partners offering content are accessible with an average 5th grade reading level, and meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

b.well's engagement methodology spans outside of a smartphone experience and offers omnichannel communication across text/SMS and email.

b.well addresses care needs, quality measures and identifies gaps in care by utilizing digitized, evidence-based medicine guidelines (EBMG). These guidelines are codified and processed through a clinical rules engine (CQL), enabling the platform to generate automated and personalized care recommendations for users. We leverage comprehensive data analysis to identify individuals at different levels of risk within our patient population. By analyzing their medical history, health conditions, demographic information, and other relevant factors, we segment consumers into different risk categories. This segmentation helps us prioritize interventions and allocate resources effectively. Once consumers are stratified into risk categories, we provide personalized recommendations tailored to their specific needs, including SDoH. These recommendations can include preventive screenings, lifestyle modifications, medication adherence, community resources, or disease management programs. By aligning recommendations with individual risk profiles, we ensure that consumers receive targeted guidance and support. We gather insights into patients' behaviors, preferences, and clinical indicators through their interactions within our platform. By monitoring their engagement levels, health actions, and outcomes, we gain a deeper understanding of their needs and preferences and understand what it takes to get them to take action and ultimately complete the action. These insights enable us to deliver personalized recommendations that are relevant, meaningful, and aligned with their health goals.
