CJPS Medical Systems Makes Connectivity Free
AUBURN HILLS -- CJPS Medical Systems LLC announced last week that it will no longer charge any connectivity fees for caregivers to access patient data when using VitalPoint, its remote patient monitoring system.
CJPS' system offers "plug and play" setup, color touch screen and multilingual audio prompts.
Another first for CJPS Medical Systems was its buy-back program, allowing users of remote patient monitors to upgrade their systems to VitalPoint, most cost effectively.
"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 home care monitoring," said Christophe Sevrain, CJPS CEO.
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 a VitalPoint, has been shown to be extremely effective. They can help older patients slow progression of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and end-stage renal disease.
VitalPoint 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, I-pad, or cell phone.
"This is health care 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."
