Product Description:

The Propeller Digital Therapeutic Platform

Propeller’s FDA-cleared digital therapeutic platform consists of Bluetooth-enabled sensors, a digital patient experience through mobile app or web portal, a clinician insights portal for remote monitoring, plus tailored patient support through virtual coaching. These components seamlessly integrate with one another to improve health outcomes for patients, and in turn, drive measurable clinical and business outcomes for healthcare organizations. Here’s how it works:

  1. PropellerConnect™ Sensors & Data Connectivity: Propeller sensors capture unique signals that passively record events, such as medication usage or respiration, and transmit data to Propeller via Bluetooth or hub connection. Sensors are compatible with more than 80% of inhaled medications on the U.S. market, including medications for MDI, Respimat®, Diskus®, Ellipta®, and Symbicort® inhalers.*
  2. MyPropeller™ Patient App & Portal: Sensor data is sent to the Propeller mobile app or online portal, empowering patients to learn about their breathing and triggers while delivering personalized, motivating journeys that build healthy habits.
  3. PropellerInsight™ Clinical Decision Support & Analytics: Via an EHR integration or our Clinician Portal, care teams can remotely monitor patients’ medication use and view on-demand reports to gain a clearer understanding of disease control status, symptoms, and triggers. These insights help inform clinical decisions and treatment plans, and enable proactive identification of patients who may be at a greater risk for an exacerbation and require timely clinical intervention.
  4. PropellerCare™ Support and Coaching: Propeller’s patient success team ensures users receive personalized support and coaching to help them confidently navigate the platform, stay focused on their goals, and take control of their breathing.

Product Capabilities

Our sensors attach to patients’ existing inhalers, reminding patients to take their medications on time and automatically tracking medication use data. This information is sent wirelessly to a patient’s mobile app or web portal account, helping them learn about their symptoms, triggers, and medication use habits (including when, where, and how often they dose). Clinicians can easily access this important data, too — either by using the Propeller Clinician Portal or through an integration with their EHR.

Propeller takes the guesswork out of understanding patient adherence and disease control. Between visits, clinicians can receive notifications when patients have not been adherent to controller medication or when rescue medication use increases significantly, helping them proactively identify and intervene with their most at-risk patients, and enabling health systems and hospitals to focus finite resources on patients who need it most.

Propeller expands access to our platform and helps overcome literacy challenges through the use of appropriate reading levels for different audiences, based on the Flesch-Kincaid scale. Our platform, including our patient-facing mobile app and web portal, is available in 16 different languages. Additionally, patients without access to mobile devices or internet service can still experience all the benefits of Propeller with a cellular hub — a smartphone alternative offered through clinical and commercial programs. The hubs simply plug into a wall outlet, passively capture medication use, and seamlessly transmit that data to the patient’s provider.

One component of Propeller’s digital therapeutic platform is PropellerCare™, in which our patient success team ensures users receive personalized support and coaching to help them confidently navigate the platform, stay focused on their goals, and take control of their breathing. By surrounding patients with continuous support and care connections, they become more engaged in self-managing their condition and stay motivated to take actions that will largely impact their overall health.

Propeller offers patients two primary delivery options when it comes to engagement: a mobile app and a web portal (desktop or tablet). With either option, patients can view their medication use data on-demand, track their symptoms and triggers, and access personalized, educational content to learn more about their conditions.

In addition to personalized environmental insights such as air quality, the Propeller platform offers tailored educational content to help patients learn more about their conditions, personalized tips for self-management, and custom insights based on a patient’s medication use trends. For example, the mobile app can preemptively advise patients to consult with their providers when a significant increase in rescue medication use is detected.

Our suite of 10+ FDA and CE cleared devices cover more than 80% of all inhaled medications on the market. These devices/sensors snap onto patients’ existing inhalers, passively record medication events, and seamlessly transmit that data to a patient-facing mobile app or web portal for on-demand viewing.

When it comes to providers and clinicians, one of the biggest considerations we’ve kept in mind when developing our platform is ensuring that it is simple to use. Providers may not have as much time as they’d like to routinely check patient data. Our platform is designed such that there are several ways for providers and clinicians to receive critical patient data for clinical decision making, without the need to log in to another website or portal. For example, providers can elect to receive daily email notifications informing them of patients who are not adherent or may be overusing their rescue medications. For providers with an EHR integration, custom dot-phrases make it easy to pull patient data from their charts. At any time, Propeller’s clinician (and patient) support teams are available to answer any questions regarding training, onboarding, and technical support.

The Propeller Digital Therapeutic Platform can integrate into leading EHR platforms — including Cerner and Epic (via Redox) — making it easier for clinical staff to receive objective patient data and enhanced clinical decision support, all within their native workflows. The implementation process can take 12-16 weeks, depending on the program design and the organization’s governance structure.

Rimidi integrates with a broad portfolio of medical devices, including cellular glucometers, blood pressure cuffs, scales, and pulse oximeters. Rimidi integrates with leading Continuous Glucose Monitors, including FreeStyle Libre, Dexcom, and Eversense. In addition, Rimidi integrates with Adherium's Hailie® Smartinhaler®.

Rimidi's clinical decision support engine drives clinical insights and actions from RPM alerts to guideline and protocol adherence.

Rimidi supports two-way text messaging between the patient and the care team.

Cellular-enabled devices are easy-to-use and do not require the patient to have access to home WiFi or even a smart phone. Rimidi supports texting a patient in their native language, and our clinical monitoring staff can support multilingual needs.

Rimidi has ready-to-use care plan templates that can be customized for use in CCM or other disease management initiatives.

The Rimidi platform most often operates as a Single Sign On (“SSO”) to the provider’s EHR, either through SMART on FHIR or Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) depending on the EHR. Rimidi has established integrations with most major EHRs, including eClinicalWorks, Epic, OCHIN, Oracle Cerner, Veradigm, athenahealth, and Meditech. Integrations enable Rimidi to pull relevant clinical data into the platform to support gap in care closure and provide robust disease context next to the RPM data. In addition, Rimidi can write back documents (RPM summaries, care plans, etc.) or support HL7 workflows for discrete data write back.

Platform Support: Rimidi has a Client Success team that is dedicated to our customers from program design through implementation that continues for the life of the engagement. Your Client Success Manager (CSM) will come onsite for training and provide additional virtual training sessions as needed. Your CSM and support staff are engaged with you through all aspects of the program, including the set-up of the Rimidi platform, EHR integration, user training, and connecting devices. Care Management Support: Rimidi provides clinical monitoring for many of our clients who want to supplement their current staff or to avoid dedicating in-house staff to new programs considering hiring and staffing challenges. The monitoring staff can include health coaches, registered nurses (RNs), advanced practice providers (APPs), and medical doctors (MDs) depending on the client’s program structure and staffing needs. All monitoring staff carry appropriate state licensures and can support multiple languages as needed. With the efficiency that the Rimidi platform delivers, one clinical user can manage approximately 250 patients.

Users:

Patients, caregivers of patients, and clinicians

Description:
  • A fully-capitated provider needs a better way to manage their highest risk patients to reduce hospital utilization and improve quality measures. Their centralized disease management team uses Rimidi to monitor weight and pulse oximetry in heart failure patients, CGM or BGM data in diabetes patients, and inhalation quality in their Asthma patients.
  • A physician practice wants to increase practice revenue while taking better care of their patients. They work with Rimidi's care management team to enroll appropriate patients in RPM and CCM programs, and document the clinical and billlable activities within Rimidi. 
  • A physician sees a patient with poorly controlled diabetes in the office and is prompted in the Rimidi diabetes view to enroll the patient in remote monitoring and to consider a therapy adjustment to optimize cardiovascular risk reduction. The physician creates a dynamic care plan with each encounter that posts back to their EMR. The physician reviews the patient’s home glucose readings one week after therapy adjustment to ensure adequate control.
  • A patient uses the connected glucometer provided by the practice. She can see whether she is in her target range, and text with her care team in response to her data. 
  • A care coordinator monitors a clinic’s patients with diabetes, heart failure or hypertension remotely, addressing alerts configured for the clinic and ensuring that they are meeting clinical guidelines and helping to avoid costly admissions and readmissions. Documentation for RPM and CCM activity is done in the Rimidi app and aggregate for billing purposes.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

To learn about how Propeller differentiates from other options in this space, please reach out to info@propellerhealth.com. 

Differentiators vs Competitors:

As a leading precision digital health company, Propeller Health differs from others in the industry in that:  

  • Our 10+ FDA and CE cleared devices cover more than 80% of all inhaled medications on the market – and our capabilities go far beyond respiratory care.
  • We have conducted 80+ commercial programs and research studies, and a body of research no other digital health company can match: more than 150 peer-reviewed publications and abstracts.
  • Our parent company has decades of experience bringing specialized medical devices to market in more than 140 countries. Together, our regulatory expertise, logistics support, engineering and component sourcing knowledge is unmatched.
  • We have unique experience partnering with and unifying value for stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem: independent clinics, hospitals and health systems, payers and PBMs, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, as well as patients and clinicians. 

---

Our FDA-cleared digital therapeutic platform stands apart from other digital health solutions in that: 

  • It is used by a broad spectrum of patients from pediatric (asthma) to elderly (COPD), and is proven effective in engaging underserved and vulnerable patient populations (Medicaid, Medicare). 
  • It engages patients with COPD — an often difficult to engage patient population — earlier in their care (stages 1 and 2). For patients whose conditions continue to progress, they can receive care in later stages (3 and 4) with solutions from our parent company, ResMed.
Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

In the sales process, we often hear “Doesn’t Epic (or other EHR) do that?” Rimidi is not built to replace the EHR, but to enhance it by bringing in additional data sets, providing more efficient workflows, and improving the user experience. Rimidi can install and configure its platform within 3-6 weeks which is significantly faster and more cost effective than onsite EHR teams can build and support enhancements to meet clinical needs. Rimidi’s modern technology stack enables rapid cycle innovation and iteration post-go live.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Rimidi’s cardiometabolic platform is most often compared to other Remote Patient Monitoring solutions, but the platform-approach to RPM allows Rimidi to do so much more. Some key differentiators of the Rimidi platform are: (1) tight integration with leading EHRs via SMART on FHIR, (2) the breadth of the comorbid disease states we cover, (3) our incorporations of patient-reported outcomes and social determinants of health measures and (4) our Clinical Decision Support engine. Rimidi’s CDS cards support almost any insight or intervention a client wants: RPM data alerting and interventions, referral management, lab or medication recommendations, clinical trial identification, and more.
