Essence SmartCare and Clalit Health Services Launch Pilot with Sharan Medical Care to Implement VitalOn Telehealth Platform to Reduce Hospitalization Rates in Israel - Seite 2

VitalOn combines telecare, telehealth, and wellness capabilities into a single, comprehensive remote patient monitoring and chronic disease management platform. It provides round-the-clock monitoring for a wide range of aging-related and chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, and congestive heart failure. The easy-to-use solution operates independently, without the need of smartphone or tablet-based apps.

"The last two years have seen the field of home hospitalization in Clalit expand beyond recognition. At any given time, more than 200 patients are receiving care at home as an alternative to hospitalization, around half of whom are Covid-19 patients," said Doron Netzer, Head of Medicine for Clalit's Community Division. "This pilot has reduced the number of hospitalizations in internal medicine departments throughout the country and was a significant factor in supporting the hospital system during the fifth wave in January and February of 2022. The collaboration with Essence SmartCare and Sharan expands our ability to monitor patients and provides important tools for monitoring their vital signs."

"Rehabilitation is generally quicker and more effective when conducted in the comfort of one's own home, and this is particularly true for elderly and chronic patients," said Dr. Yves Bitton, Founder and Medical Director of Sharan Medical Care. "This type of monitoring has allowed us to treat Covid-19 patients in moderate or even serious condition and bring about their recovery, all in the comfort and safety of their own homes."
