Sensei takes a holistic approach, integrating modules for healthy eating, fitness/steps, weight management, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Sensei provides education and self management through personalized, interactive, timely information and guidance, automated alerts (opens application) that promote participation and action, and tracking and real time feedback of biometric data –wireless devices or self reported (blood pressure, steps, weight, glucose). The solution also includes a medication adherence module, integration with social media, and incentives to stay healthy.
mHealthCoach Cardio-Engagement solution is HIPPA/HITECH Compliant with privacy & security controls on viewers, transport and storage. This solution is highly scalable due to its modular architecture using Model View Controller pattern. Web Services REST Architecture allows the architecture to be distributed in nature for scalability. The system modules are based on virtual architecture for highly scalable and deployable architecture that has.WCAG AAA Conformance.
MedRespond allows patients to rely on the Virtual Coach to stay connected, link to EHR to customize health messages, communicate what is relevant, collect vital feedback to track progress, monitor attitude and sense of well being and maintain a history of exchanges for continual improvement.
Pathway devices are driven by a Health Information Exchange, the integration engine for disparate electronic medical records. The physician portal provides real time updates to the health record. This will eliminate issues regarding patients receiving care from multiple sources in one day. Patients will have a tool to access their health information at any time and from any place. Credible educational information will always be at their fingertips.
For the 1 in 3 Americans who suffer with high blood pressure, taking an active role in managing their own health could mean healthier, longer lives. The mission is to create an interactive solution that would motivate and empower people to proactively manage their health. Through easy access and organization of their personal health information, relevant content, and social support, we hope to change the way patients think about their health, and make better-informed decisions for healthier lives.
Create an interactive solution which enables patients to better manage their cardiovascular health through a customizable, user-friendly interface. The solution should be holistic and help organize and provide easy access to personalized health information, relevant public data, and aggregated content (ie education, treatment, diet, exercise and social network). The goal is to empower patients to easily and effectively manage their cardiovascular health.
Entrants are required to submit a 5 minute video demonstrating the solution's capabilities and functionality, and a PowerPoint presentation (30 slides maximum) describing the solution. Entries should meet all the requirements detailed in the "Submission Criteria" section below. Teams will receive instructions on how to submit their entries after registering.
4 phase 1 winners will be selected to further develop their submissions. Phase 2 will culminate in a live demo day session occurring in January 2012.
