Product Description:

Virtual Nursing and Telehealth: Experience the future of inpatient care with hellocare’s Virtual Nursing and Telehealth services. Our platform enables healthcare providers to perform remote patient admissions, discharges, education and continuous care, while involving family members and care team in the virtual visit, enhancing efficiency while maintaining high standards of patient care. Through live examinations with peripherals during a physician rounding, we reduce the need for physical carts and equipment in the room, streamlining operations and minimizing disruptions. 

About hellocare:

Transform your existing hospital room into an integrated virtual care delivery hub with hellocare

Unlock the power of virtual care delivery with hellocare AI-assisted platform by transforming any patient room TV into virtual care delivery hub for virtual nursing, phyiscian rounding with live examination, virtual sitting (with AI-based algorithms for fall prevention, fall detection, pressure injury prevention, patient mobility tracking), patient engagement and entertainment, care coordination and clinical communications, to deliver hybrid care anytime from anywhere while enhancing patient engagement. 

Transforming your existing hospital room TV into a virtual care delivery hub, enables providers, nurses, and sitters to communicate and manage care via real-time audio and video calls, directly from your EHR to the patient room. Clinical teams and patients can invite members of the family and care team to participate in these calls, driving patient engagemeent and enabling them to take ownership of their health, which is known to improve health outcomes and patient satisfaction. 

Product Description:
  • eCART is a research-based, AI-driven software as a medical device (SaMD) that utilizes a machine learning algorithm to continuously assess hospitalized patients’ risk of impending death or intensive care unit (ICU) transfer, assisting medical staff in swift and accurate recognition of patients requiring increased medical attention. eCART draws upon readily available patient data from the EHR, rapidly quantifies disease severity, and predicts likelihood of critical illness onset, hours before it happens.
  • eCART received FDA 510(k) clearance in 2024, with clinical performance data of nearly two million hospitalizations from 21 hospitals, including an unprecedented level of real-world prospective data, to ensure consistent accuracy across geography, age, race, and top medical conditions (e.g. sepsis, COPD, heart failure). 
  • Built upon more than a decade of ongoing scientific research, eCART was developed at UChicago Medicine by Dr. Dana Edelson, MD, MS and Dr. Matthew Churpek, MD, PhD and is well chronicled in published literature. The analytic and workflow have been in use in clinical practice since 2016.
About AgileMD:

At AgileMD, we are building the most advanced real-time predictive analytics and clinical pathways platform for hospitals.

To date, AgileMD tools have been used on more than 4 million patient encounters by more than 135,000 clinical users in over 250 hospitals, including some of the nation's leading academic medical centers. AgileMD's eCART clinical deterioration prediction software is FDA cleared and the first AI-powered early warning device for ward patients to go through the FDA process with real-world prospective data. 

AgileMD is backed by premier start-up partners MATTER, YCombinator, and Rock Health, and our cutting-edge analytics are built on more than decade of ongoing research at the University of Chicago. In 2021, AgileMD garnered nearly $3 million in combined federal research and development funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

Use Cases

Description:

hellocare's Virtual Nursing and Telehealth Module encompasses a broad spectrum of use cases, addressing various aspects of patient care such as:  

ICU monitoring: This setup allows a single ICU nurse to monitor multiple patients from a command center, providing immediate alerts and necessary interventions.  

Virtual Nurse Rounding: The two-way audio/video connectivity and real-time access to patient data enables virtual rounding for nurses to complete regularly scheduled check-ins on patients. Virtual rounding is a great way to identify patient needs and safety risks, monitor for changes in patient condition, and reduce the frequency of bedside staff re-entering patient rooms. It can also reduce exposure risk for COVID and other patients who require isolation, further preserving PPE. 

Virtual Physician Rounding: Similar to Virtual Nurse Rounding, the physician can use the same platform and endpoint to do rounds with live examination. Our hellocare device will serve as a hub, connecting to different peripherals such as a Stethoscope or Dermatoscope, allowing the physician to do assessment remotely, eliminating the need for carts in the room. 

Discharge Navigation: Virtual nurses can take the lead on completing discharge paperwork and coordinating other aspects of the discharge process. 

Dual Sign Off: Bedside and virtual nurses can work together in real time to verify medications and for other tasks that require dual sign off, eliminating delays to care. 

Patient Education: Nurses can use the A/V connection to patient rooms to educate patients and their virtual and in-person visitors about their conditions, procedures, and after-care, and be available to answer questions at any time. 

Mentoring and Training Support: Experienced nurses can guide new hires and novice nurses through procedures and conduct joint physical/virtual patient visits to improve quality, reduce the learning curve, and provide an extra level of attention to patients. 

Pain Assessment: Virtual nurses can round on patients routinely to assess their pain level, and follow-up with reassessment and documentation of patient response to pain relieving measures, such as medication administration and repositioning. Patients can also inform virtual nurses when they are experiencing pain. 

Responding to Calls/Answering Patient Questions: Many nurse calls from patients can be resolved without requiring an in-room visit. 

Care Plan Updates: Working collaboratively with the care team, a virtual nurse can serve as coordinator for updates to the care plan. 

Provider Consultation: Telehealth is frequently used to facilitate consults among providers. Virtual nursing makes nurses available for consultation with caregivers in the patient room, and the virtual nurse can also initiate contact with specialists or other providers outside the facility. 

Chart Audits: Assigning chart audits to virtual nurses frees the floor nursing staff to spend more time with patients while promoting patient safety and quality. 

Post-Procedural Monitoring: Virtual nursing can provide enhanced monitoring for post-procedure patients and others that need close monitoring. 

Order Clarification: Virtual nurses can take questions from their bedside counterparts and follow up with physicians when orders are unclear. 

Pediatric use cases:

Yes, hellocare's Virtual Nursing and Telehealth Module can apply to pediatrics. Many of the use cases described are not specific to adult patients and can be adapted to meet the needs of pediatric patients and their families. 

Users:

The primary users of hellocare's virtual nursing and telehealth platform include healthcare providers such as nurses and physicians, patients in inpatient settings, family members that can join education sessions or visit their loved ones virtually at any point of time, and healthcare administrators managing virtual care delivery programs. 

Description:

eCART anticipates all cause clinical deterioration in medical-surgical (ward) patients and is validated for sepsis, COPD, heart failure, and COVID-19. The EHR-embedded software device is used to prevent failure to rescue and improve timely ICU transfers using a highly-accurate risk score, an interpretable patient dashboard, and actionable clinical workflows.

Pediatric use cases:

pCART, the pediatric version of eCART, is available for research use and is used in clinical practice today. We would be happy to discuss a partnership.
