Considering how expansive it tends to be, human life touches upon various factors as it moves forward. These factors, in turn, also hail from a diverse set of sources, therefore helping us big time in regards to functioning across wider horizons. Now, when you have such a far-reaching setup running the show, it’s almost a given that you’ll discover some really unique things over time, things which are designed to add value to your life in the most unimaginable ways. Nevertheless, while the said discoveries have come rather thick and fast, we are still yet to witness anything even remotely ingenious as technology. You see, technology didn’t just bring an easier method to carry out some tasks. Instead, it brought with it a whole new revolution. Once we had realized that, our world, and consequentially, our lives transformed beyond recognition. Soon enough, we were getting rid of every single outdated methodology. This cleaning house process, however, was notably more apparent within our healthcare sector than it happened to be anywhere else, and that was always going to yield some crazy benefits. Having gone through a complete makeover under the creation’s stewardship, the healthcare sector and its new ideas are still continuing to deliver all the right goods. It was, in fact, backed up by another piece of evidence during WellSky’s recent announcement.
WellSky, a medtech company based in Kansas City, has officially announced plans to launch its much-awaited ReD technology. Specifically designed to help heart failure patients in avoiding hospital readmissions, the new technology will be first implemented at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Sector. If we talk about how the technology works, we’ll realize that it actually boasts a very simple and quick approach. Basically, it focuses on gauging the fluid levels in patients’ lungs, but most importantly, it does through a non-invasive method. Furthermore, the technology also takes just 45 seconds to deliver the result, therefore encouraging an immediate counter action, in case any fluid is detected.
“This combination of ReDS technology and the WellSky-enabled care coordination that solves for the logistical challenges that occur across organizational boundaries, allows caregivers and in-home clinicians to collaborate to achieve elevated patient outcomes at a lower cost,” Bill Miller, CEO of WellSky.
From a historical standpoint, excessive fluid level has been observed as the biggest reason behind hospital readmissions in heart failure patients. To effectively treat the severity in play here, WellSky does much more than just extending preliminary care. Apart from instigating the initial response against rising fluid levels, WellSky’s technology is well-equipped to monitor whether the patient is receiving right kind of care or not.
Assuming the company’s experiment in the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center ends up working out, it will introduce a dynamic, which we can safely deem as powerful enough to reinvent the entire cardiac health concept.
