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.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

While traditional EHRs serve a high purpose concentrating on capturing important patient information and facilitating communication of collected data between clinical staff, back office and insurers, usually in a language that is not comprehended by the patient community, ICmed instead concentrates on augmenting that data with two-way communication protocols to engage patients and their family or informal caregivers with the multiple clinicians and staff supporting them. Data is collected and shared with the EHR and among those participants with info-sharing rights, and the platform facilitates chats, virtual visits, RPM data collection, personalized patient education, and other value-besed care regimens. 

Differentiators vs Competitors:

While there are many single-point solutions focused on the delivery of clinical care, they tend to focus on one or few modalities (behavioral health, pediatrics, hypertension, etc.) or links in the care chain (onboarding, perioperative care, home care, etc.). ICmed is a flexible platform that not only can be utilized across the spectrum of both modalities and chain links, but also provides cumulative portability of the patient record to the patient and thier family or informal caregivers. This is a key necessity in the adoption of value-based care models that will require efficiency to help providers capture revenue and control costs.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

While EHRs are often viewed as competitors, it is clear that their current functionality is not comparable. EHRs do not provide clients with actionable insights that lead to informed decision making.

VitalCare Admin not only stores all the data but also provides valuable insights through VitalTech Insights and automates provider workflows with VitalTech Care+.

EHRs are introducing new features in an attempt to keep up with the innovative virtual care solutions, but unfortunately they continue to fall short in their functionality. 

VitalCare's provider portal (VitalCare Admin) proactively supports clinicians to deliver the highest quality of care to patients in in the comfort of their own home simply and effectively. 

Differentiators vs Competitors:

VitalTech's comprehensive virtual care platform and advanced analytics will provide you with a significant competitive advantage in the region by offering comprehensive and innovative remote patient monitoring and engagement solutions. By seamlessly managing various levels of patient acuity and disease states, VitalTech enables you to deliver superior care, optimize patient outcomes, and minimize hospital readmissions.

VitalCare allows providers to manage all patient types from a full turnkey solution delivered to a Hospital at Home patient to a downloaded app allowing you to mass scale for pop health and continuing health. 

VitalTech has an intuitive clinical provider portal, which, combined with our unique engagement tools and SDOH functionality, fosters a more meaningful and personalized patient experience. This enhanced engagement elevates patients' quality of life and bolsters their confidence in the care they receive from you. Patients' sense of empowerment and support from this platform ultimately translates to higher satisfaction rates and improved patient retention. 

VitalTech is hardware agnostic, supporting a wide range of devices and vendors with full integration to Apple Health and Google Fit. VitalTech has partnered with cutting-edge wearables and sensors to ensure patients' home safety and well-being. By continuously monitoring vital signs and other health parameters, these devices enable healthcare professionals to identify potential issues early on, allowing for timely interventions and reducing the risk of complications.
