VitalTech has partnered with VIVUS, Inc. to accelerate the launch of telemedicine, virtual care and remote patient monitoring capabilities, leveraging VitalTech's virtual care platform and comprehensive medical device product line, the company said. VitalTech's virtual care platform enables health systems, physicians and clinicians to streamline workflows while improving health-related outcomes, thereby increasing patient safety and lowering the cost of care. Additionally, VitalTech's innovative medical grade monitoring devices integrate seamlessly with any mobile or smart devices increasing patient engagement and compliance. With the addition of VitalTech's virtual care and remote patient monitoring technologies, VIVUS will accelerate its ability to conduct virtual office visits and monitor patients remotely. The telemedicine and remote monitoring modules are designed to allow the patient-physician interaction to take place virtually through the new VIVUS Health Platform, powered by VitalTech. VitalTech's remote patient monitoring will be integrated into the VIVUS Health Platform and include Bluetooth-enabled blood pressure cuffs, weight scales, pulse oximeters, and spirometers. Data from these devices will be transmitted directly to the VIVUS Health Platform, and dynamically updated to the patient's physician.
