Care Innovations looks to improve home telehealth with Connect RCM

September 18, 2013

Mention a home-based telemonitoring solution, and the image that most often pops up is some obtrusive box that sits in the living room, sprouting more attachments than the Death Star and spewing out data like R2D2.

Intel-GE Care Innovations is aiming to change that with Connect RCM (Remote Care Management), a cloud-based application of the company's Care Innovations Guide platform that allows consumers and their caregivers to use their own mobile devices to communicate and coordinate care.

"This could mark the tipping point in telehealth adoption," added Harry Wang, director of research at Parks Associates, in the release, "Delivering the capabilities of telehealth and remote care management to care recipients via web browser will help healthcare organizations overcome some of the most common barriers to wide-scale adoption of telehealth across large populations, including high per-patient costs involving lengthy hardware deployments and inventory management."
