Bendigo Health selects Propell to provide iHealth monitoring devices and integration as part of the Better@Home program for the Loddon Mallee region.
The Remote Patient Monitoring program includes devices for gestational diabetes management, heart failure, COPD , diabetes and post-operative management.
The 4 year agreement will initially focus on the episodical monitoring of participating client cohorts to monitor chronic or acute conditions in the patient's home.
Bendigo Health, on behalf of the Loddon Mallee Health Service Partnership has received funding from the Victorian Department of Health through its Better@Home initiative to deliver more healthcare within patient's homes through the use of home delivered and virtual care in accordance with Victoria's Digital Health Strategy (2021-2025).
Propell, as the Australian distributor of iHealth, has been awarded the tender for the supply and integration of the monitoring devices for the next four years. iHealth monitoring devices include wireless blood glucose monitors, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeter, scales and thermometers.
Propell, with its partner Persona Informatics, will integrate iHealth devices into Loddon mallee's Regional Care Coordination Platform (RCP). Persona's patient data platform seamlessly integrates standardised, high fidelity patient generated data into clinical systems, providing superior data quality and interoperability while supporting efficient clinical workflow.
Mr Craig Simmonds (CEO and Founder, Propell) is excited and grateful to be awarded the tender. Having supplied iHealth remote patient monitoring devices for over 8 years, and knowing the positive difference iHealth makes to patients lives, this is a game changer for how we can potentially decrease hospital and ED presentations.
