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.

Once digital tools are ordered, Xealth can manage all elements of delivery and enrollment, either by sending them directly via email or SMS or via the patient portal (stock or custom-built). As patients use these programs, Xealth tracks engagement and can send reminder notifications.

Tthe Xealth platform has successfully deployed a wide variety of connected device solutions within its digital health formulary across the client base. Remote Patient Monitoring solutions deployed include both broad-based RPM such as VitalTech and Harmonize, and also focused RPM solutions such as Babyscripts, Force Therapeutics, Glooko, and Rimidi. Xealth enhances the native capabilities of each of these RPM solutions through its unique integration within the EHR, allowing for the ordering and monitoring of the RPM solution based on configurable use cases. This integration creates a seamless experience for both patients and clinicians. Xealth’s proprietary dashboard provides insights to the impact of digital solutions, allowing for health systems to gain a better understanding if the solutions they have deployed are having the intended impact.

Xealth brings data and real-time monitoring information back into the health system so care teams can follow the patient’s progress or drive interventions. Digital Care embeds third-party dashboards inside the EHR, making it easy for clinicians to see their patient’s progress without leaving the patient record. Discrete patient data, like PHQ9 scores or blood pressure readings, can be written into the chart and stored alongside similar data. Downstream workflows like notifications, best practice alerts, and patient flags can also be generated within the record.

Xealth’s platform aggregates and organizes digital health tools and related data within the EHR for easy deployment and oversight. Xealth’s core platform is the Digital Care SMART on FHIR app, which can be downloaded from Epic App Market (formerly App Orchard) or Cerner Code Gallery and configured by the health system team to launch directly in the provider’s charting workflow. Xealth’s clinical decision support rules engine can automatically distribute tools, assets, and program enrollment information to patients, as well as present relevant solutions within the patient record in the EHR for manual prescribing.

Xealth streamlines and enables dynamic control of data captured and collected by third party vendors. As organizations use Xealth to connect patients with Apps and RPM tools to collect and monitor patients, Xealth's integrated infrastructure enables the health system to have complete access to that data in a variety of manners.

Through its extensive Vendor Ecosystem, Xealth has worked collaboratively with over 40 industry recognized providers of digital health applications, clinical content, RPM and others. Maintaining excellent working relationships with vendors embedded in Xealth use cases is part of Xealth’s foundational model for achieving success across the client community.

Xealth’s Digital Command Center provides engagement data for digital tools and content deployed through Xealth. Health systems can see how many patients open an email/text message, click on a card in digital care, and watch or view content. This allows the health system to see if content is being used by patients. Health systems can change the time of deployment of a solution (send sooner or later) and/or send reminders, when there is a lower level of engagement than expected. Xealth’s monitor tab, which is integrated into Epic, displays third party application dashboards within Epic, providing a seamless experience for the clinician. The clinician is also able to see engagement data for content, such as videos/pdfs.
