About Andor Health:
At Andor Health, our mission is to change the way care teams connect and collaborate. By harnessing machine and human intelligence, our cloud-based platform unlocks data stored in electronic medical records to deliver real-time actionable intelligence to care teams – both inside and outside of their enterprise. By optimizing communication workflows, our solutions accelerate time to treatment, decrease clinician burnout, and drive better patient outcomes. Built on an AI/ML framework, healthcare institutions and clinicians can self-configure the signals and workflow actions as you would any device connected to the internet, and personalize the intelligence they need at the right moment in time to provide better care.
Product Description:

Use the device you want for any condition

Leveraging our health IoT platform and access to secure data from 600+ personal health devices, our remote monitoring application doesn’t lock patients and providers into a single device vendor or a few select brands. It offers maximum device flexibility to support remote care for chronic and post-acute conditions. From diabetes and hypertension to COPD and beyond, Validic® Impact remote monitoring manages multiple chronic care programs, concurrently or asynchronously, regardless of condition or population size.

Scale across conditions, populations

Organizations of all sizes can create and scale remote monitoring programs and offer meaningful, continuous and personalized care, across populations and chronic conditions. Standalone, disease-specific platforms are not necessary or economical. Organizations are not locked into a single vendor for every chronic condition or the need to budget multiple implementation and service integrations.

Improve operational efficiency with true integration

Many health IT vendors claim to “integrate” into the clinical workflow, but what they really do is “interface.” Our solution integrates directly into the clinical workflow, with standardized integrations through the Epic Connection Hub and Cerner Millennium®. Clinicians can enroll and monitor patients in an RPM program directly from their chart, launch our application from In-Basket messages, and streamline workflow by eliminating unnecessary clicks, toggles and uploads. 

Generative AI eases the burden on clinicians

Our Generative AI summaries and period comparisons make getting up to speed and writing clinical notes a breeze. GenAI Automated RPM Summaries instantly executes a statistical analysis of the patient’s monitoring data and uses generative AI to create the basis of a clinical summary for the clinician, saving them precious minutes per encounter. GenAI Period Comparisons help you get up to speed quickly on what’s changed since last review, including what metrics are improving, declining, holding steady, and whether adherence is improving.

Because we know healthcare providers’ time is better spent with patients and not on administration, we designed our remote monitoring application to fit seamlessly into the systems they already know and use. Organizations don’t need to hire additional staff or allocate extra resources to RPM programs. Clinicians can view and manage critical data and notifications within the clinical workflow and view historical trends directly in the patient’s health record. They don’t need to be data scientists and will notice a reduction in redundant and inefficient manual tasks, ensuring they spend more time on what matters most - direct patient care.

Product Capabilities

ThinkAndor® supports multilingual and omni-channel virtual visit sessions between patients and providers without the need for downloading an app. Via Andor’s digital front door, we provide patients with a model for navigating to the appropriate line of care through a first in the industry use of OpenAI/GPT capabilities. Patients can either schedule a synchronous virtual visit session or choose from a variety of asynchronous options. Patients can also add family members or caregivers in the virtual wait room and providers can invite colleagues for multi-disciplinary calls using the embedded ThinkAndor®AI Bot within the session. This whole process helps to improve how both patients and providers are brought together.

ThinkAndor® supports a comprehensive virtual waiting room with a fully configurable set of patient intake and assessment forms. In this process, providers can push patients to complete a device and browser check, review their symptoms, complete inclusion/exclusion criteria and upload images. Shortly before the visit, patients can add family members or care givers and improve accessibility through features like closed captioning. Providers/care team members can track a patient’s progress in the queue and alert them when the provider is ready to begin the session.

ThinkAndor® provides highly-resilient video call capabilities with the ability to toggle to phone/audio and support multi-party sessions. The presence of the ThinkAndor®AI Bot during visits acts to track time, surface clinically relevant content for the clinician, and create SOAP notes. Additionally, ThinkAndor® can support asynchronous communications for lower acuity conditions. These can be escalated to synchronous calls if a clinician determines that the patient’s status has degraded.

ThinkAndor®’s bidirectional integration with the client EHR allows users to leverage existing patient demographic/medical information and upload new documentation. Generative AI curates the content and context for the clinician from the virtual experience for clinical documentation prep and decision making. The ThinkAndor®AI Bot also facilitates an ambient experience in the virtual visit and captures the voice of the clinician to generate clinical documentation for the EHR, including SOAP notes. The dashboard allows clinicians to both monitor active signals from patient inputs and devices as well as review past documentation in the patient details. This improves workflow orchestration and enables faster interventions to yield improved patient outcomes.

ThinkAndor® has the ability to support eligibility, payment processing – including payment plans & copays, prescriptions, labs, orders, and referrals through third-party integrations and core host systems such as the client’s EHR. Relevant information from orders can be surfaced by the ThinkAndor®AI Bot and brought to the attention of providers through preconfigured alerts and escalation pathways. Because the ThinkAndor®AI Bot starts the session, it also captures the timing of the experience and the documentation to support billing for that particular visit. Post-visit, ThinkAndor® continues the experience by reaching out to the patient to ensure compliance with their care plan and any follow ups that may be required.

Andor Health provides both remote and on-site technical support as needed by customer institutions. Andor Health maintains a help desk to receive service-related inquiries from the client via designated means during the client’s business hours, excluding Andor Health observed holidays, and Andor provides clients with extended support outside of business hours via telephone for critical issues. Per the specific implementation and the client’s needs, Andor can stand up educational materials and assign the appropriate routing for patient concerns.

Through ThinkAndor®’s native capabilities and deep integrations with staffing partners, Andor can help fill chronic staffing shortages and address emergencies like burst capacity scenarios. For virtual nursing, virtual sitting, remote consults, and other bespoke virtual hospital use cases, including telestroke, telepsych, and virtual hospitalists, Andor can either leverage resources from other facilities within a health system or bring in credentialed resources from third parties. This both fills certain specialties which users may not already have staffed and allows for health systems to reduce costs by better matching resources to current capacity.

Andor Health uses PowerBI to provide robust analytics such as provider utilization/productivity, average time per visit, most commonly treated conditions, resolution vs. escalations, volume by day and time, and patient feedback. Andor Helath is also pioneering the use of OpenAI and GPT to provide insights and analytics along a patient’s care plan so that as data comes through, ThinkAndor™ can provide predictive analysis on the outcome of the patient.

Validic's remote care application supports more than 100 devices to allow patients to share biometric data from outside the hospital or clinic. It is extended to patients in two ways. First, it allows for a BYOD smartphone offering, where the patient can download our HealthBridge™ app and complete enrollment and device pairing on their personal device. Peripheral devices such as scales and blood pressure cuffs are provided by their care team or purchased by the patient online or in stores. The application also allows for the shipping of a pre-configured, locked-down tablet (kit), where all peripherals can be pre-paired and it "just works" out of the box. Whether provisioned from the BYOD or "kit-based" model, the data seamlessly flow from the patient's device and into the RPM program, where it is evaluated against programmed rules, is able to escalate alerts directly to providers or nursing queues, and is viewable and actionable within the EHR.

The client configures Validic's program defaults, with customizeable rules at the program and individual patient levels. The data we receive from the patient's devices are evaluated against the program rules and the result of those evaluations can be alerts to providers, messages to specified individual or shared inboxes, follow-up surveys for more information, or messages sent directly to the patient with instructions on what actions they should take. Our clients build their programs with the appropriate measurement goals and thresholds to enable them to have awareness of any concerning trends in a patient's condition.

Validic's remote care application also includes asynchronous, conversational chat capability. They are used in two ways. First, to evaluate data received from a patient's device. For example, if a blood pressure reading is above the threshold set by the care team in that patient's program, the team can trigger a follow-up conversation to gather additional information from the patient such as worsening symptoms or medication adherence. Second, care teams can send chat conversations regularly (daily, weekly, etc) as a way to check in with the patient about their condition, progress in the program, or to gain other insights. The care team can build rules that evaluate the chat conversation responses and deliver alerts and escalations in a variety of ways, such as to a configured EHR message inbox. For example, an answer to a question of "are you feeling better/same/worse today" with an answer of "worse" could trigger a message for follow up.

Our patient-facing solutions can be offered on a pre-configured "zero setup" tablet, where the patient's peripheral devices are pre-paired and ready to go out of the box. The patient simply types in a PIN code and leaves the tablet plugged in/charged and in close proximity to the peripheral devices when taking readings. There are no other actions for the patient to take other than using their blood pressure cuff, scale, etc to take readings. For users who may already have their own glucometers, scales, or blood pressure cuffs, we support an expansive library of devices and continue to add more to our platform annually. This allows many patients to use the medical device with which they are already comfortable. Third, for patients who are comfortable using their own smartphone/tablet, we support Android and iOS through our HealthBridge™ native apps. After completing a simple, guided self-enrollment process, the patient is directed to pair their device, and readings seamlessly flow through the app as long as it's running in the background. The patient isn't required to open the app or take any additional actions beyond recording measurements using their peripheral devices in proximity of the phone where the HealthBridge™ app is installed. Finally, the HealthBridge™ app runs in English and Spanish.

Starting with industry-standards-based Blueprints, our implementation team guides each customer through the creation and customization of care plans for each program into which that the customer is planning to enroll patients. These goals, rules, and alerts allow our customers to build highly specialized care plans that enable the care team to be alerted and informed regarding patients who need to be engaged, while giving them confidence on patients who are performing well in the program. Validic's remote care application allows for each program to have a default configuration that will apply to each enrolled patient, while also enabling the care team to modify thresholds and alerts on a patient-by-patient basis, to give as much flexibility as is needed to manage care.

Validic's digital health and remote care platform is integrated with the Cerner and Epic EHRs, and NextGen Video Visit solution. Our integration includes: - Seamless integration of the provider clinical experience within the EHR via an embedded SMART on FHIR application. This includes SSO so there is never a need to have a second password. Providers work directly in the EHR and never have to "launch out" to a second application. - Enrollment of a patient into a program happens directly within the integrated experience. The care team can see which programs a patient is already enrolled into and enroll them into additional programs, all within the EHR embedded workflow. Data needed for enrollment is automatically read from the EHR, avoiding the need for the care team to manually type in demographic information. - The ability to generate inbox/inbasket messages directly into the EHR's native messaging system. This makes the information generated by remote care programs live alongside other messages that are being sent to the care team, including shared inboxes/inbaskets, to facilitate workflows where the care team is flexible throughout the day/week. - Writing the discrete result values received from the patients devices directly into the EHR flowsheet, so that it is evaluated by Validic's RPM rules within the program and also becomes part of the patient's medical record, to be used by other processes within the EHR as well as any downstream analytics, population health, HIEs, or other systems that depend on the EHR chart being comprehensive.

For higher-acuity programs or programs for individuals with lower technical abilities, Validic can provide everything from simple ship-and-forget clinical device fulfillment and IT setup and configuration to reverse logistics, friendly and compassionate 1-800 patient-facing technical support, and outbound onboarding calls to support a patient’s first experience with the programs. Staff training is part of our customer onboarding/go-live processes.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
Differentiators vs Competitors:
Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Validic saw that many healthcare providers and payers struggled to manage data provided by aggregation platforms, so we built an entire operating system around our award-winning healthcare IoT platform. Impact prevents the need for numerous vendor relationships, buying cycles, implementations, or one-off workarounds to get patient-generated data operationalized in the clinical workflow. With Impact, organizations can move beyond one-off, disease-specific platform purchases. Instead, Validic Impact enables providers to scale implementations of disease management programs across disease states. Organizations are, therefore, not locked into a single vendor or the need to budget for multiple implementations and service integrations.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Validic takes a platform-first approach to remote patient monitoring, setting it apart from condition-specific solutions and delivering programs at scale. We power the largest centralized RPM program in the nation, with more than 250,000 patients enrolled to date. Validic offers access to the widest range of devices and data sources, providing connections to more than 530 devices. Enabling remote monitoring capabilities within existing clinical systems and workflows, our remote monitoring solution enhances rather than detracts from substantial investments made in enterprise-wide solutions like the EHR. Administrators and physicians can configure the program the way they want, setting up personalized patient experiences and notifications to fit their preference. Our solution supports a bring-your-own-device model and a fully curated, ready-to-use kit mailed to the patient.
