WebVMC offers softwarebasedtechnology to provide afeature-rich and less-expensivesolution to the rapidly growingtelehealth marketplace.

WebVMC is a disease management technology company providing products and services to monitor and assess chronically ill patients while increasing compliance within a prescribed care plan. Our industry-leading technology expands patient quality of care, decreases healthcare costs and increases efficiency, throughput and outcomes. It is distinguished by being the only telehealth system that is software-based, adaptable to any vertical market and that proactively notifies clinicians if patient thresholds are reached, allowing for immediate interventions.

The RemoteNurse™ system is fully Webbased, requiring no additional servers, virtual private networks or backup phone lines. It allows secure access to patient data 24/7/365 from any remote location. Patient measurements that fall outside prescribed parameters trigger threshold alerts which can be sent automatically via email to any Internet-enabled device, keeping the caregiver apprised of potential health risks affecting the patient. The system also supports telephony. Reminders can be sent to help patients with medication compliance, diet and exercise requirements, doctor’s visits and more.

The patient-friendly monitor features an 8-inch color touchscreen display that guides the user step by step through physiologic assessment, vital sign measurements and disease education and management using text and accompanying audio prompts in multiple languages, as well as corresponding images for visual assistance. Patient protocols are completely customizable, giving caregivers the flexibility to create a personalized care plan. Coupled with the most peripheral device connectivity in the industry, the RemoteNurse™ captures and automatically transmits patient data for clinical evaluation.

WebVMC’s technology solutions provide hospitals, home care agencies, assisted living facilities, school systems, prison and mental health facilities the tools to lower healthcare costs, while maintaining quality of patient care and attention through daily monitoring. With innovative capabilities, WebVMC makes remote patient care effective, cost-efficient and comprehensive; creating a “personal care circle” for the patient that links caregivers, clinicians and even family members in the monitoring process.
