Product Description:

Welby Health is a healthcare technology company that provides a platform for remote patient monitoring (RPM) and chronic care management (CCM). Their mission is to empower healthcare providers to deliver better care to patients with chronic conditions while reducing the overall cost of care. They achieve this by combining cutting-edge technology with a human touch, utilizing both a sophisticated digital platform and experienced clinical staff.

Here's a breakdown of key aspects of Welby Health:

**Technology:**

* **Remote Patient Monitoring:** Welby Health's platform allows patients to use connected devices (like blood pressure cuffs, glucometers, and weight scales) to track their health data at home. This data is transmitted to the platform, where it is monitored by healthcare providers. This allows for early detection of potential problems and timely intervention, reducing the need for hospitalizations.

* **Chronic Care Management:** The platform also supports comprehensive care management for patients with chronic conditions. This includes medication management, care plan development, and patient education.

* **Patient Engagement Tools:** Welby Health offers tools to help patients stay engaged in their care, such as educational materials, reminders, and secure messaging with their care team.

**Clinical Team:**

* Welby Health employs licensed registered nurse case managers who are trained in NCQA-accredited care protocols. These nurses work closely with patients to provide personalized support, education, and care coordination.

**Financial Model:**

* Welby Health's services are designed to be financially sustainable for healthcare providers. They help practices access new billable codes for RPM and CCM, which can boost revenue and improve financial stability.

**Benefits:**

* **Improved Patient Outcomes:** By providing continuous monitoring and proactive care, Welby Health helps improve patient outcomes, reducing hospitalizations and improving quality of life.

* **Reduced Costs:** Early intervention and effective chronic disease management can help reduce the overall cost of care.

* **Increased Efficiency:** The platform automates many tasks, freeing up healthcare providers to focus on patient care.

* **Enhanced Patient Satisfaction:** Patients appreciate the convenience and personalized support provided by Welby Health.

**Value-Based Care:**

Welby Health is well-positioned to support the shift towards value-based care. Their focus on proactive care, prevention, and patient outcomes aligns with the goals of value-based care models. They offer solutions for both fee-for-service and value-based care arrangements, allowing healthcare providers to choose the model that best suits their needs.

In summary, Welby Health is a comprehensive platform that empowers healthcare providers to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care to patients with chronic conditions. Their combination of technology, clinical expertise, and financial sustainability makes them a valuable partner for healthcare organizations looking to improve patient care and thrive in the evolving healthcare landscape.

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.

Use Cases

Description:

The WelbyCare program is a turnkey solution for providers who need additional support to achieve improved HEDIS metrics but do not have the necessary capital to implement a new program from scratch.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

We are specialized in monitoring patients in their homes and engaging not just vital data, but SDOH and lifestyle factors that typical staffing in a clinic is not trained or equipped to handle. We help our practices not only drive new revenue but improve their clinical outcomes through our comprehensive programs.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

We offer a turnkey solution not only for your technical needs to deploy remote monitoring to patients but as well as all the clinical staff to support it. Our goal is to offer not just staffing to satisfy the time requirements for RPM but actually licensed professionals working at the top of their license to provide a truly outsourced care management function.

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.
