CJPS Makes Connectivity Free For Caregivers
AUBURN HILLS -- CJPS Medical Systems announced that it will no longer charge for any connectivity fees for caregivers to access patient data when using VitalPoint Home, its remote patient monitoring system.
"Everyone agrees that the only way to provide better care to a rapidly aging population while reducing health care costs, given the shortage of nurses and physicians, is to enable and deploy homecare monitoring," said CJPS CEO Christophe Sevrain.
Eight out of ten older adults are living with the health challenges of one or more chronic diseases, ones that are long lasting, incurable, or recurrent. For these patients, prevention of reoccurrence and health monitoring are critical to their recovery, safety and quality of life, for which remote patient monitoring such VitalPoint Home has been shown to be effective. They can help older patient's slow progression of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and end-stage renal disease.
VitalPoint Home is a standalone, 4.5-pound device that can monitor blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, weight, glucose level, prothrombin time and ratios, temperature, fluid status, and provide electrocardiogram data, and provides the caregiver with the ability to remotely monitor patients' conditions using their own computer, iPad, or cell phone.
"This is Healthcare IT at its best," Sevrain said. "Patients' compliance to their treatment regimen, and the monitoring of their health to prevent adverse effects and hospital readmissions are absolutely critical to not only a reduction in the cost of care, but also to the quality of life of these patients affected by chronic diseases, or recently discharged from a healthcare facility."
CJPS Medical Systems is part of a group of companies (www.CJPS.com) providing products and services to the healthcare industry. The product is manufactured in a FDA-registered, ISO-13485 certified manufacturing plant in Auburn Hills.
