It's no secret that more and more Americans are turning to home health care, and a new company is hoping to change that.Vivanlink is launching a no-cost program for nonprofits that provides home health care at no cost to patients, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The idea is to cut down on hospital stays and readmissions, as well as improve patient satisfaction.
The company's device is an e-lectrocardiogram Patch that tracks vital signs and sends alerts to the patient's smartphone.
It also has a mobile app that can be used by the patient to view vital signs and find out if they've had a heart attack, pneumonia, or other medical emergency.
"We want to make it as easy as possible for patients to have access to high-quality, affordable health care in their own home," Vivanlink's CEO says in a press release.
So far, the company's device has been used in only a handful of homes, but it's expected to be a major player in the home health market in the not-too-distant future.
