N.Y. home health agency to deploy Biosign remote monitoring
Peconic Bay Medical Center of Riverhead, N.Y., will implement Biosign Technologies’ Healthanywhere remote patient management system.
The provider is a 182-bed nonprofit medical center that includes Peconic Bay Home Health Services, a certified home health agency. Under the agreement, Peconic Bay Medical Center Home Health Services will use Biosign’s Healthanywhere to provide patient monitoring of acute post-discharge and long-term cases, with initial focus on a “Health at Home” program for remotely monitoring patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and respiratory disease, Biosign stated.
The long-term goal is to service chronic patients, including self-management. Healthanywhere will provide a baseline of vital signs for participating patients, and will be used for trending the impact of remote monitoring, education and behavioral changes affected by the program, the Thornhill, Ontario-based company added.
