The team at ��ݮ���� was thrilled to see ��ݮ���� featured by UofT's Medical Alumni Association in their highlighting various Alumni startups helping ease the pandemic. Partially because it has an old picture of ��ݮ���� CEO, Dr. Joshua Liu, but also because it shares how ��ݮ���� is helping healthcare organizations keep patients safe & connected while at home during COVID-19.

Below is an excerpt from the feature:

Dr. Liu is the CEO of ��ݮ����, which provides hospitals across North America with a software platform that allows health care teams to virtually engage, monitor, and connect with patients going through surgery, cancer treatments, or managing a chronic disease. Patients are guided on their smartphone, tablet, or computer with personalized information, step-by-step instructions, and symptom tracking. Health care teams can get alerts and dashboards to monitor patients and catch complications early.

The platform reduces the need for in-person consults. Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, for example, found that by using ��ݮ����, 35% of their orthopedic surgery patients reported avoiding one or more hospital visits. During the pandemic, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre used ��ݮ���� to monitor surgical patients and decreased post-op ER visits by 25% even though surgery cases increased by 40%.

The startup also provides remote monitoring for low- and high-risk COVID-19 patients. The software gives patients information about COVID-19 and can survey their symptoms. It ensures that patients know how to self-isolate, what symptoms to look for, and when to go to the hospital. And St. Joseph’s Home Care in Hamilton is using ��ݮ���� to monitor their staff for signs of COVID-19.
