About VitalTech:

VitalTech provides a comprehensive enterprise solution that empowers patients to better care for their health, while enabling care teams to monitor, manage and care for patients remotely. Our proprietary platform enables health systems, managed care organizations, home health agencies, physicians, and senior living facilities to automate workflows while improving health outcomes, increasing patient safety, and lowering the cost of care. Our suite of easy-to-use solutions increases patient engagement and compliance.

With our customizable patient application, VitalCare, providers can monitor their patients from the comfort of their own home. You can utilize a VitalTech provided tablet or allow patients to bring their own device and download the app. Care teams can choose which devices each individual patient requires to manager their condition(s). With our engagement module, patients have a suite of patient education materials to help them understand their condition(s) and program, and can communicate with providers through secured messaging, audio, and/or video calls, all within VitalCare. The nutrition and medication modules, reminders/announcements, as well as questionnaires/surveys, empower patients to adhere to their care plans. 

VitalCare Admin, our fully HIPAA-compliant, customizable provider portal allows care teams to monitor patients quickly and easily. Within our portal, care teams have access to VitalTech Insights, which provides the ability to create countless customizable reports and analyses from all data collected. In addition to Insights, providers have access to VitalTech Care+, our workflow automation tool that creates proven efficiencies in the delivery of virtual patient care, enhances patient safety, increases accessibility, reduces costs, and optimizes reimbursements. 

VitalCare Family, provides additional support for patient engagement, socialization, and compliance, leading to a reduction in isolation and improved outcomes.

Product Description:
Sickbay is an FDA-cleared clinical platform providing hospitals with the only vendor-neutral, integrated patient monitoring solution in healthcare. Sickbay consolidates disparate sourced, time-sequenced patient monitoring data with an average of 25 milliseconds per patient. Sickbay drives cost-effective patient monitoring and powers analytics by providing instantaneous and persisted physiological data to clinicians, researchers, and algorithm developers. Viewing data consolidated in Sickbay on any laptop or mobile device, on wallboards, and in on-prem or remote command centers enables clinicians to deliver the best possible care to patients throughout the hospital.
About Medical Informatics Corp:

Medical Informatics Corp.’s (MIC) mission is to deliver next-generation technologies to unify patient monitoring workflows for healthcare systems. MIC’s decade of innovation with its clinical platform, Sickbay, integrates over 30,000 vendor-neutral signals on two percent of hospital beds with over 10,000 clinical users in the United States. Most hospital systems lack native resolution data aggregated through a single source, instead deploying a multi-device strategy that silos data and data access time frames. The Sickbay Clinical Platform stands alone as the only FDA-cleared platform to aggregate time-series waveform data across disparate devices at native resolution. Current bedside devices delete data on average after 72 hours, while Sickbay saves the data indefinitely. Sickbay provides a portal through which care providers can review aggregated, time-synchronized data, annotate it, and collaborate to create algorithms (including ML & AI) and evaluate post-event care. Those algorithms and care models can then be reintroduced into the platform to advance care and innovation. Simply put, Sickbay provides the hospital teams their data from anywhere, anytime, to optimize workflows, analysis, and risk stratification across the patient care spectrum. The diverse team at MIC is fundamentally unlocking a blue ocean of new patient monitoring capabilities for ourselves, our partners, and our clients. MIC’s Sickbay saves lives, improves outcomes, streamlines strategy and technologies, and reduces the overall caring cost for hospital patients nationwide.

The VitalCare patient application was designed with ease of use as one of the primary goals. It is simple and straightforward, and able to be used by people with little or no technical knowledge. One of the key focus areas for VitalTech has been developing simple, intuitive UI and communications. The UI is designed to be very senior friendly for low vision and dexterity . VitalTech follows the recommendation of the Joint Commission that all patient education materials (PEMs) should be written at or below a 5th grade reading level in order to address the health literacy needs of all patients. We are mindful that many of our patients utilizing the VitalCare application are elderly, with the average age of our users being 78. With that knowledge, we work hard to ensure that our application is easy to use no matter a patient’s age and/or technical literacy. VitalTech and AT&T initiated a strategic partnership to deliver best-in-class virtual care over FirstNet, ensuring patients and clinicians always have access to real-time data and communications to solve some of the more significant health equity issues the US healthcare system faces. From AT&T, we provide patient access to the FirstNet network mentioned prior. As a FirstNet subscriber, patients would get prioritized access on all AT&T LTE bands in addition to Band 14, while also receiving enhanced coverage in rural areas.

VitalTech Family users will be able to review patients inputs or lack of inputs to see if the patient is adhering to their care plan. Users may also send gentle reminders to promote positive behavior change for patients.

We have a dedicated customer success team that will continue to work with you and is always available to rectify any issues that may come up, for both you and any of the patients on the system. VitalTech offers a 24/7 customer and technical support service for both providers and patients.

VitalTech Family users will be able to send gentle reminders to promote positive behavior change for patients.

Sickbay collects, integrates, & displays time-aligned medical device data for over 30k signals. Information is displayed to end users in near real-time (~25ms) on local and mobile devices.

Sickbay's Patient Monitor (PatMon) displays per patient waveform and EHR data alerting clinical end users based on parameters defined by the hospital. Sickbay's Multiple Patient Monitor (MultiMon) displays that same information for up to 100 patients on a single screen to support virtual monitoring at scale. Sickbay's Risk Stratification module displays risk score data customized per hospital to improve awareness of patient risk in higher acuity beds. Sickbay's Alert Queue module displays alerts for telemetry patients that have been newly admitted, shift changes, dietary requirements, and rhythm validation.

Sickbay integrates EHRs using interfaces for ADT information, staffing assignments, meds, & labs. Sickbay integrates directly into the EHR to automate the capture and storage of ECG strips on the patient's record without additional, time-consuming, error-prone manual steps.

Sickbay simplifies the clinical theater by centralizing patient monitoring data from devices, EHRs, camera-enabled technology, and 3rd party analytics into a single screen. This enhances the readability and interpretation required to reduce the time-to-treat a deteriorating patient. Sickbay's interface is shared between bedside and remote care teams to drive scale and efficiency. This approach reduces the risk associated with new nursing team members on staff and improves the training / onboarding by using a single platform for patient monitoring. Sickbay's analytics workbench directly connects clinical researchers with bedside teams to develop and implement custom algorithms for specific patient cohorts in near real-time.

Sickbay integrates camera-enabled technology into a single interface alongside near real-time physiological data to provide remote care teams with video support to reduce patient risk and improve the time-to-treat for patients that are deteriorating.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

The EHR is intended to be a point of care reference to support billing. Traditionally, only documenting discreet vitals from patient monitoring devices at single points.

Sickbay Clinical Platform:
