Vancouver startup Curatio is joining forces with fellow virtual care providers Maple and Cloud DX to create a new Canada-wide COVID-19 home monitoring program.
The program will allow Canadian healthcare organizations to ‘decant’ COVID-19 patients to their homes equipped with remote automated monitoring technology, efficient clinical oversight and daily disease management support via virtual care.
The Canada-wide Virtual COVID-19 Outpatient Program (VCOP) brings together three core elements into one integrated COVID-19 virtual care program.
First, key vital signs monitoring via Cloud DX’s Connected Health Kit which includes a wireless pulse oximeter, wireless thermometer, and blood pressure cuff.
Second, clinical oversight from Canadian-licensed physicians on the Maple virtual care platform, to monitor patient vital signs, triage patient condition and make treatment recommendations should COVID-19 symptoms worsen.
Finally, coaching and support through Curatio’s Stronger Together secure, moderated support network to connect patients to daily evidence-based programs, community resources, mental health and psychosocial support.
“We already have thousands of patients with long COVID benefiting from our platform along with patients awaiting surgery, battling chronic conditions and mental health challenges,” says Lynda Brown-Ganzert, CEO of Curatio.
“We are a Canadian-made answer, ready to be deployed to help ease this COVID-19 crisis. As leaders, we have quickly banded together to help support our healthcare systems, authorities, government and most importantly, our fellow Canadian patients and families. Our solutions are trusted worldwide and it’s time to utilize them, right here at home, for the urgent challenges we face.”
The Curatio platform is used in 104 countries, is available in 20 languages, and is the only privacy and regulatory compliant social platform for patients.
