Cloud DX announced that it has been selected through a competitive RFP process as a provider of digital Remote Patient Monitoring (dRPM) products and services to Alberta Health Services (AHS). AHS has deployed the Cloud DX Connected HealthTMplatform since May 2020, under a series of contracts signed during and after the COVID pandemic. Now, Cloud DX has won the competitive RFP to continue as a provider of dRPM devices and services to the provincial health authority.

Digital Remote Patient Monitoring is used generally to support outcomes for patients with complex chronic conditions that include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and comorbidities including hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. Connected Health by Cloud DX includes award-winning, patient facing mobile application, easy-to-use Health Canada licensed medical devices, smart software that gathers data from and connects to each patient at home, and comprehensive clinical workflows that improve both the efficiency of care delivery and healthcare outcomes for patients. Clients across North America now deploy Cloud DX Connected Health for chronic disease management, post-surgical monitoring, pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation, diabetes, and palliative care use cases.

dRPM using Cloud DX Connected Health has been shown, most recently in the peer-reviewed PCV-RAM-1 study, to dramatically reduce post-surgical medication errors, severe pain scores, ER visits and hospital readmissions. According to official stats from the Canadian Institute for Health Information Patient Cost Estimator, exacerbation of chronic conditions resulted in over 11,000 hospital admissions in Alberta in 2021 averaging approx. 7 days each.

Recent research, including a series of studies at Hamilton Health Sciences in Hamilton ON, has shown that dRPM using Cloud DX Connected Health can reduce the average length of a hospital admission by 1.9 days on average. Cloud DX is SOC 2 compliant and meets or exceeds Alberta Health Information Act (HIA) privacy and security regulations protecting personal health information. This is the 21st contract or extension announced so far in 2023 by Cloud DX versus 28 contracts /extensions announced in all of 2022.
