Supplementing Care & Symptom Management * Virtual Check-ins: Clinicians can perform "virtual rounding" by reviewing patient-submitted vitals, photos, and videos. * Actionable Insights: Real-time alerts for out-of-range data allow providers to manage by exception and intervene before symptoms escalate. * Metric Collection: The platform automatically collects and syncs discrete data into EMR flowsheets, reducing manual charting. * Engagement & Shared Decision-Making * Reminders & Notifications: Configurable alerts keep patients on track with their care plans and notify providers of critical changes. * Patient Education: Providers can push targeted, digital resources to replace traditional paper binders. * Collaborative Tools: Integrated video and messaging allow providers to discuss data directly with patients and their loved ones to decide on next steps. Coordination & Analytics * Care Coordination: The platform captures time spent on care management to support reimbursement and tracks all interactions in the EMR. * Population Analytics: Dashboards provide high-level reports on engagement, outcomes, and program-wide metrics.

Locus provides several ways for caregivers to participate actively in the cancer care journey: Active Participation & Education * Education & Skills: Clinicians can push targeted Educational Resources to caregivers, providing training on clinical skills, medication management, and symptom tracking. * Active Monitoring: Caregivers can use the app to record vitals and answer Surveys on behalf of the patient, ensuring they are central to daily care. * Cancer Navigation: The Locus Navigator (developed with the NCI) helps caregivers coordinate complex schedules and overcome logistical barriers. Emotional & Community Support * Counseling: Integrated Video Visits allow caregivers to join 1-on-1 or group counseling, emotional support, or grief counseling sessions. * Real-time Support: In-App Messaging connects caregivers directly with the care team for immediate guidance or crisis support. * Coping Resources: Customizable pathways can include resources for mindfulness and emotional coping to manage caregiver burnout.

Locus utilizes its enterprise platform to connect patients with experts and trials through the following tools: Expert Connectivity & Second Opinions * Virtual Consultations: Secure Video Visits allow for remote 1-to-1 or group consultations with leading experts without travel. * Seamless Record Sharing: The platform integrates with EMRs to share discrete biometric data and patient summaries, ensuring experts have immediate access to current medical records. * Visual Data: Caregivers can securely send photos and videos to help remote specialists evaluate symptoms or physical findings. Trial Access & Navigation * Locus Navigator: Developed with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), this specialized platform helps navigate patients through complex care journeys, including clinical trial enrollment. * Addressing Barriers: Navigators use the platform to identify and resolve social or logistical barriers that might prevent a patient from accessing a trial. * Digital Concierge: Features like Simplified Scheduling and automated Appointment Reminders keep patients coordinated across multiple specialists and research sites.

Rimidi integrates with a broad portfolio of medical devices, including cellular glucometers, blood pressure cuffs, scales, and pulse oximeters. Rimidi integrates with leading Continuous Glucose Monitors, including FreeStyle Libre, Dexcom, and Eversense. In addition, Rimidi integrates with Adherium's Hailie® Smartinhaler®.

Rimidi's clinical decision support engine drives clinical insights and actions from RPM alerts to guideline and protocol adherence.

Rimidi supports two-way text messaging between the patient and the care team.

Cellular-enabled devices are easy-to-use and do not require the patient to have access to home WiFi or even a smart phone. Rimidi supports texting a patient in their native language, and our clinical monitoring staff can support multilingual needs.

Rimidi has ready-to-use care plan templates that can be customized for use in CCM or other disease management initiatives.

The Rimidi platform most often operates as a Single Sign On (“SSO”) to the provider’s EHR, either through SMART on FHIR or Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) depending on the EHR. Rimidi has established integrations with most major EHRs, including eClinicalWorks, Epic, OCHIN, Oracle Cerner, Veradigm, athenahealth, and Meditech. Integrations enable Rimidi to pull relevant clinical data into the platform to support gap in care closure and provide robust disease context next to the RPM data. In addition, Rimidi can write back documents (RPM summaries, care plans, etc.) or support HL7 workflows for discrete data write back.

Platform Support: Rimidi has a Client Success team that is dedicated to our customers from program design through implementation that continues for the life of the engagement. Your Client Success Manager (CSM) will come onsite for training and provide additional virtual training sessions as needed. Your CSM and support staff are engaged with you through all aspects of the program, including the set-up of the Rimidi platform, EHR integration, user training, and connecting devices. Care Management Support: Rimidi provides clinical monitoring for many of our clients who want to supplement their current staff or to avoid dedicating in-house staff to new programs considering hiring and staffing challenges. The monitoring staff can include health coaches, registered nurses (RNs), advanced practice providers (APPs), and medical doctors (MDs) depending on the client’s program structure and staffing needs. All monitoring staff carry appropriate state licensures and can support multiple languages as needed. With the efficiency that the Rimidi platform delivers, one clinical user can manage approximately 250 patients.

Use Cases

Description:

Description:

Locus Health offers a customizable, enterprise-level remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution that serves over 70 different pediatric and adult populations. Its core use cases focus on bridging the gap between hospital and home through clinical surveillance and care coordination.

Pediatric use cases:

Pediatric use cases:

The platform is widely used by leading pediatric hospitals and health systems to support fragile patient populations.

  • Cardiology: High-risk cardiology, heart failure, and specific programs like TRAC (Tele-Remote Assessment for Children) and VAD (Ventricular Assist Device).
  • Neonatal (NICU): Managing complex discharges involving NG tubes or supplemental oxygen, as well as tracking "feeders and growers" and substance-exposed newborns.
  • Pulmonary & General: Post-discharge care for asthma, cystic fibrosis, and tracheostomy/ventilator-dependent patients. It also supports outpatient antimicrobial therapy, palliative care, and solid organ transplants.

Users:

Users:

Locus provides enterprise-level monitoring for acute conditions, chronic disease management, and surgical recovery.

Description:
  • A fully-capitated provider needs a better way to manage their highest risk patients to reduce hospital utilization and improve quality measures. Their centralized disease management team uses Rimidi to monitor weight and pulse oximetry in heart failure patients, CGM or BGM data in diabetes patients, and inhalation quality in their Asthma patients.
  • A physician practice wants to increase practice revenue while taking better care of their patients. They work with Rimidi's care management team to enroll appropriate patients in RPM and CCM programs, and document the clinical and billlable activities within Rimidi. 
  • A physician sees a patient with poorly controlled diabetes in the office and is prompted in the Rimidi diabetes view to enroll the patient in remote monitoring and to consider a therapy adjustment to optimize cardiovascular risk reduction. The physician creates a dynamic care plan with each encounter that posts back to their EMR. The physician reviews the patient’s home glucose readings one week after therapy adjustment to ensure adequate control.
  • A patient uses the connected glucometer provided by the practice. She can see whether she is in her target range, and text with her care team in response to her data. 
  • A care coordinator monitors a clinic’s patients with diabetes, heart failure or hypertension remotely, addressing alerts configured for the clinic and ensuring that they are meeting clinical guidelines and helping to avoid costly admissions and readmissions. Documentation for RPM and CCM activity is done in the Rimidi app and aggregate for billing purposes.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Strategically, Locus is focused on: 

(1) helping our customer health systems leverage the critical investment they’ve made in existing technology platforms like the EHR, creating impact for key patient populations where remote care management can most effectively drive outcomes and return on investment. 

(2) meeting our health system care teams where they are, recognizing the reality of patient monitoring and navigation needs vs available provider resources and ensuring that our platform’s ability to collect, synthesize, and transmit key population and patient-specific data supports the efficiency of their teams’ workflows and innovative approaches to coordinated care. 

(3) providing a single-platform “middleware plus” approach to integration, allowing health system teams to choose their preferred remote devices and seamlessly integrate with other relevant patient information via Locus to the EHR 

(4) helping our health system customers view and establish Remote Care Management (both RPM and Navigation) as a strategic capability, supporting both enhanced quality outcomes and becoming a positive-ROI profit center (via enhanced reimbursement revenue and/or lower preventable costs).

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

In the sales process, we often hear “Doesn’t Epic (or other EHR) do that?” Rimidi is not built to replace the EHR, but to enhance it by bringing in additional data sets, providing more efficient workflows, and improving the user experience. Rimidi can install and configure its platform within 3-6 weeks which is significantly faster and more cost effective than onsite EHR teams can build and support enhancements to meet clinical needs. Rimidi’s modern technology stack enables rapid cycle innovation and iteration post-go live.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Rimidi’s cardiometabolic platform is most often compared to other Remote Patient Monitoring solutions, but the platform-approach to RPM allows Rimidi to do so much more. Some key differentiators of the Rimidi platform are: (1) tight integration with leading EHRs via SMART on FHIR, (2) the breadth of the comorbid disease states we cover, (3) our incorporations of patient-reported outcomes and social determinants of health measures and (4) our Clinical Decision Support engine. Rimidi’s CDS cards support almost any insight or intervention a client wants: RPM data alerting and interventions, referral management, lab or medication recommendations, clinical trial identification, and more.
