New Intel device looks to innovate remote patient treatment
Patients looking for a more integrated approach to healthcare from home can now look to Intel to help manage their needs. The Intel Health Guide, which received FDA clearance in July of this year, is a patient-monitoring system with an online interface that allows doctors to keep track of their patient's health needs remotely.
With the tool, doctors can also send patients important reminders and take their vital signs, among other perks, without having to physically be with the patient. Currently, the plan is for the Intel Health Guide to be tested through organizations such as Aetna and Erickson Retirement Communities (to name two), with the emphasis on showing improvements for treating such conditions as diabetes, hypertension and heart failure.
Louis Burns, vice president and general manager of the Intel Digital Health Group, believes that the device is a big step forward in remote care, especially for homebound patients.
"Intel has spent years researching the needs of both caregivers and patients, and we are now moving to launch a series of products that will help extend care from the hospital to the home," he said. "Our products will help address the challenges of an aging population and rising rates of chronic disease."
