Description

Product Description:

PreMedicus® ASV is an ED or Urgent Care encounter management mobile app with integrated patient and clinician decision support that automates most aspects of the in-person visit. This multi-user system drives value by asynchronously collecting and organizing patient and provider generated documentation, clinical and billing data in real time to increase staff productivity. Our work flow integration humanizes the patient experience by enabling patients to tell their own story, receive a pre-diagnosis with world -class patient education. This prepares them for a much more meaningful interaction with a medical provider unburdened from performing clerical tasks.

PreMedicus® ASV boldly re-imagines the acute care patient-provider interaction with a user-friendly mobile app that gives patients a seat of power in their healthcare while reducing friction for providers and insurers. PreMedicus® ASV safely delivers engaging healthcare management, patient education, decision support & revenue cycle process automation in a single mobile app. PreMedicus® ASV operates within a private & highly secure multi-user enterprise cloud population health management platform that can be easily configured to interface with other electronic health record systems using APIs.

About PreMedicus® LLC:

PreMedicus® LLC is an Atlanta digital medicine startup founded by Pulmonary and Critical Care physician Dr. Tony Kimani. While in China with his Georgia Institute of Technology MBA class, he saw patients waiting long hours for ER care with advanced smartphones in hand. He was inspired to design and commercialize patient-friendly mobile apps for critical healthcare needs. We are pioneers in the emerging field of digital precision population health, which takes inputs from clinical medicine, public health, social determinants of health, wearables, natural language processing and AI to generate highly individualized disease prediction, prevention and early diagnosis. We are a portfolio company of the Advanced Technology Development Center at Georgia Institute of Technology.

In the post-pandemic era, the paradigm is rapidly shifting to favor digitally-enabled, patient-centered, inter-connected healthcare technologies that help clinicians safely deliver personalized, high quality, cost-effective and efficient care. PreMedicus® solves the need for rapid and accurate evaluation and disposition of a mixed population of worried well, sick and injured people contemplating ER care. By bringing order to the fear and confusion associated with acute illness, our digital assistants reduce the potential for medical errors from incorrect information, improve care quality and reduce ER congestion. We liberate and empower the patient-provider relationship by giving patients a voice in their healthcare, and freeing providers to be fully engaged by pre-organizing relevant clinical information. 

Our mobile applications (apps) work together to create value for major healthcare stakeholders by digitally streamlining critically important medical and business functions in the acute care setting. These digital tools engage patients in their own care, expedite virtual or in-person evaluation, increase workplace safety, optimize staff workflow, provide patient decision support, shorten reimbursement cycles and provide strategic data insights in the fast paced tele-medicine, urgent and emergency care environments.

Our customers are large employers, insurers, telemedicine providers, ACOs, hospital systems and government health departments seeking to safely manage urgent and emergency care while engaging patients in their own healthcare decision-making.

Product Description:

Eligible patients are discharged to the myLaurel clinical team from the hospital early, opening bed capacity and improving throughput across the ED, Observation, Inpatient, Post-Surgical and Post-Acute areas. myLaurel treats the patient in the home and virtually over the next 7- 30 days to ensure high-quality outcomes and no readmission for the same or related condition. The patient is then scheduled back into the health system network, typically through primary care, to maintain continuity of care with the health system. If the patient enters the ED at any point while under myLaurel’s care, the health system does not pay myLaurel.

About myLaurel:

myLaurel™ was founded on the idea that the best way to deliver high-quality care is to deliver it in the home. We are the leader in home-based acute care tailored to the needs of frail, elderly, or complex patients. Our innovative models reduce avoidable hospital admissions and readmissions while improving throughput, shortening length of stay, and maintaining high standards of care, safety, and satisfaction.  

Utilizing an interdisciplinary team of telehealth physicians, in-home paramedics, and RN care managers, myLaurel ensures patients avoid the conventional acute care journey from ER to admission to post-acute care. The innovative care model creates dramatic cost savings, helps patients prevent hospital-acquired conditions, and radically improves the patient and caregiver experience.

Description:

Navigating complex health issues while balancing the demands of daily life can be incredibly challenging. For Chelsea F., a 34-year-old woman with a history of congenital duodenal atresia, gastroparesis, gluten intolerance, and multiple food allergies, this reality hit hard when a series of severe health complications led her to seek help in the emergency room.

The Clinical Challenge

Chelsea's story began with a frustrating cycle of frequent ER visits. Over the span of just one month, she was admitted to the emergency room seven times due to persistent and severe nausea and vomiting. Alongside these symptoms, she experienced worrying neurological issues, including paresthesia (tingling or numbness), dizziness, weakness, difficulty walking, and visual impairment.

Upon admission to the hospital, an endoscopy was performed, which yielded no significant findings. Despite this, Chelsea's condition was severe enough to necessitate a thorough evaluation and treatment plan. The medical team administered a combination of intravenous medications: droperidol for nausea, famotidine for stomach acid reduction, magnesium for electrolyte balance, and normal saline for hydration.

“myLaurel was a lifesaver,” Chelsea recounts. “I was supposed to stay in the hospital for three more days for a certain IV treatment, but because of myLaurel, I was able to go home and spend precious time with my five-year-old daughter.”

— Chelsea; patient, mom

A Turning Point: Neurological Insights

The breakthrough came when the neurology team identified Chelsea's neurological symptoms were likely due to deficiencies in essential B vitamins, specifically thiamine (vitamin B1) and niacin (vitamin B3). This revelation pointed to a crucial aspect of her treatment: aggressive vitamin repletion. 

Transitioning to Home

Despite the promising new treatment plan, Chelsea faced a dilemma. The thought of spending additional days in the hospital beyond her almost two-week stay was daunting, particularly as she had a young daughter at home who was only able to visit her once while she was in inpatient treatment. Fortunately, Ochsner Health called on their home-care partner, myLaurel, which provided a solution allowing Chelsea to early discharge from the hospital and continue her treatment from the comfort of her home.

The myLaurel Experience

Chelsea’s experience with myLaurel was marked by both convenience and quality care. The home care team visited Chelsea’s home for intravenous treatments over the course of three days, with the first treatment beginning the day after she was discharged. Chelsea was prescribed a regimen of thiamine, starting with 500 mg IV three times a day for two days, then a reduced dosage of 250 mg IV daily for five days, and then 100 mg orally daily for the foreseeable future.

“The service was professional and caring,” Chelsea notes. “The in-home providers were consummate professionals, friendly and efficient, and the treatments were completed quickly—usually in about 30 to 45 minutes. They were accompanied by a physician over telehealth.”

“I was very impressed by how quickly the physicians actually dug into my history and understood it before they started talking to me.” 

The flexibility of receiving care at home allowed Chelsea to focus on her recovery and family life. “Being at home made a huge difference,” she says. “I didn’t have to stay in the hospital an additional three days for a treatment that took a half-hour and could be present for my daughter, who was about to start kindergarten. I’m doing better, little by little.” 

Final Thoughts

Chelsea’s journey underscores home-based care's profound impact on a patient's quality of life. For patients like Chelsea, balancing complex medical needs with family responsibilities can be daunting. MyLaurel’s ability to deliver high-quality care at home offers a vital alternative, ensuring that patients receive the treatment they need while maintaining their daily routines and family connections.

“I’m not one to let strangers in, but the people I met with were all very nice and very kind, and I had no problem letting them in to help me. The myLaurel team called for my first treatment and then called ahead over the next two days when they were on their way.”  

As Chelsea continues her recovery, with follow-up appointments to monitor her vitamin levels and neurological health, she remains grateful for the support and flexibility provided by myLaurel. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of home-based care in managing chronic and complex health conditions.

Conclusion

For those navigating similar health challenges, Chelsea’s story highlights the benefits of exploring home care options. myLaurel offers a compassionate and practical solution for patients and their families by bridging the gap between hospital-based treatments and home life.

Chelsea shares a tearful final thought: "It frees you up to live the rest of your life. The freedom to be at home and still live your life was a humongous plus to this whole experience.”
