Product Capabilities

Medical Guardian's PERS devices continuously collect real-time data on patient activity, health metrics, and emergency events, providing insights into both daily patterns and critical incidents. This data helps caregivers monitor patient well-being and respond proactively.

The data collected by Medical Guardian PERS devices is processed through advanced analytics platforms. These analytics provide actionable insights for healthcare providers, helping to identify trends, potential risks, and areas where intervention may be required to improve patient outcomes.

Medical Guardian systems support seamless two-way communication between patients and emergency services using advanced, real-time communication technology. In the event of an emergency, patients can instantly connect with healthcare professionals or emergency responders at the push of a button. The system's enhanced voice communication feature ensures clear and direct conversations, even from remote locations. Providers can also initiate check-ins or send personalized health reminders through the device, ensuring continuous engagement and proactive care management. This bidirectional communication system enhances patient safety, ensuring immediate responses and continuous connection with healthcare teams.

Medical Guardian PERS solutions are designed to be user-friendly, with features like voice commands and large, easy-to-read displays, ensuring accessibility for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The system is available at various price points, making it equitable for a wide range of users regardless of their financial situation.

Medical Guardian integrates pre-built care plans into their PERS systems, allowing healthcare providers to tailor monitoring and response protocols according to each patient’s specific needs. These care plans support personalized health management, ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate care.

Medical Guardian PERS systems are compatible with a variety of healthcare platforms, ensuring seamless integration with other health monitoring devices and electronic health records (EHRs). This interoperability helps to create a holistic view of the patient’s health status and improves communication across care teams.

Medical Guardian provides robust operational support, including 24/7 monitoring services and emergency dispatch. Care teams can rely on continuous monitoring and immediate response in case of emergencies, ensuring patient safety at all times.

Medical Guardian PERS enhances clinical support for healthcare providers and empowers patients to monitor their own health data effectively. The system provides real-time health insights and alerts to providers, allowing for timely and accurate interventions. For patients, Medical Guardian PERS offers easy access to health tracking and personalized feedback, which encourages them to be proactive in managing their well-being. This integration supports a more engaged and informed patient experience, facilitating better health outcomes through ongoing education and self-management.

Our KodaCares service layers on top of our digital tools to provide a human touch for your patients who need additional support. Our expert team guides them through their planning but also works to alleviate any burdens from plan completion - from facilitating conversations with their care team and family members, to clarifying therapeutic options.

Koda's ACP allows patients to digitally send their plans to their Surrogate Decision Makers (SDMs) and any other caregivers. Our KodaCares service facilitates phone calls between SDMs, loved ones, and the patient to ensure clarity and alignment regarding care preferences.

Koda seamlessly fits within a system's workflow and needs. Once patients are referred to us, Koda's ACP experience guides them through their planning. Once their plans are complete, they're made digitally available to your organization. You'll receive regular updates about the progress of your patient base through ACP; we also notify you of patients appropriate for a DNR-OOH, and any needs that may become apparent while your high-risk patients are supported through our KodaCares service.

Koda's digital tools contain videos, "select all that apply" sections, and other interactive tools to educate patients then capture their care decisions. There are in-app nudges that have various functions including: 1) notifying patients when a decision differs from their ideal quality of life 2) Explain their options and the requirements for in-app legalization 3) Clarify surrogate decision-maker options and requirements. This interactive process aggregates these decisions into the appropriate legal forms without feeling as though they're completing paperwork.
