Tactio Health Group Extends CHUM Partnership to Remotely Monitor Discharged COVID-19 Patients Free of Charge

The Remote Patient Monitoring CareSimple Platform Enables the Hospital System to Manage Patients at Home and Preserve ICU Bed Capacity

Montréal, Québec, Canada – January 6, 2020 – CareSimple, a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) platform, designed, developed and operated by Tactio Health Group, has announced a free extension of their technology-enabled care services with Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM), an innovative hospital system serving Québec patients. Under this agreement, now extended through 2021, CHUM will pursue their RPM program to monitor medium-risk COVID-19 patients that are discharged from the hospital to self-isolation to help prevent readmission through in-home monitoring. The goal of this RPM COVID-19 patient program is to preserve CHUM bed capacity for high-risk patients in need of acute care.

“CareSimple is pleased to work with CHUM to extend their RPM program in support of caring for Québec’s COVID-19 patients,” explains Michel Nadeau, CEO and President, Tactio Health Group. “Since March 2020, the CareSimple platform has served as the remote patient monitoring platform of choice for CHUM and other U.S. and Sweden-based hospital systems to manage COVID-19 patients. We understand and recognize the gravity of the second wave on the hospital systems, and, with the vaccination coming, we are happy to extend the free use of our savoir-faire to support our community.”

“The CHUM is proud to put innovation and excellence in healthcare at the benefit of its patients. In the context of the pandemic, this app allows our teams to follow up with patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who have returned home after their hospitalization. We are therefore happy to continue our agreement with Tactio and thus ensure the quality and safety of the care offered,” declared Dr. Fabrice Brunet, President and CEO of the CHUM.

CARESIMPLE COVID-19 CARE PROGRAM

The RPM COVID-19 program offers patients personalized support as soon as they are discharged, and helps them to manage care resources and limit physical interactions. CareSimple’s platform incorporates multiple features to facilitate remote monitoring of patients in the comfort and privacy of their homes. The features include:

• Self-entry of COVID-19 symptoms on the patients’ smartphone (iOS or Android) in CareSimple’s patient application;
• Tracking body temperature with a regular thermometer and capabilities to monitor respiratory rate;
• Remote onboarding of patients without contact or physical presence required.

For healthcare providers, no additional training is required to utilize the RPM technology. Through the web-based application, the clinician receives near real-time clinical alerts when patient data is out of normal ranges. The provider is then able to communicate with the patient through secure text messages or video conferencing technology built into CareSimple’s platform. In addition to those services, CareSimple offers physician groups and hospitals systems another COVID-19 RPM solution where patients use an oximeter.

All health data obtained by CareSimple for CHUM patients is securely hosted in Quebec’s Microsoft Azure Canada East region, adhering to some of the world’s strictest privacy standards.
