CareView Communications | March 06, 2023 | Read time : 02:00 min

CareView and SONIFI Health

CareView Communications, Inc., an IT company in the healthcare field, recently announced that it has built an integration with SONIFI Health that allows care teams to talk to patients through the interactive TV platforms that are already present in patient rooms.

To create a patient-centric, networked virtual care system, CareView is integrating with SONIFI Health, which provides interactive technology to promote patient involvement. A hub-and-spoke telecare model spanning a system of hospitals is centered on a fully-integrated CareView Patient Monitoring System®-enabled virtual care command center. This virtual care system creates a scalable, flexible workforce that keeps patients interested and meets their needs. It also gives nurses a break by using virtual staff to take care of patients' needs immediately and do administrative work that doesn't require a license.

Using the CareView-SONIFI Health integration, doctors may make video calls to patients' homes without leaving the EHR interface. This crucial component also supports virtual nursing, hybrid care, and telemedicine to reduce staff burdens and increase caregiver access.

CareView Chief Operating Officer Sandra McRee stated, "Hospitals are facing unprecedented labor challenges and margin pressures." She added, "Integrating our interactive platform with healthcare technologies like SONIFI Health is key to creating a scalable and effective solution for virtual nursing to reduce labor costs and keep nurses working at the top of their license."

Kelly Boyd, SONIFI Health General Manager, remarked, "CareView truly understands the challenges hospitals are facing today."

"Integrating their virtual care solution is a great complement to SONIFI Health's interactive platform in creating smart hospital rooms with features both patients and clinicians increasingly expect and need," she continued.

Medtech Global is growing its innovation platform with Smartek21's voice command healthcare product - IntelliTek Health's Clinical Virtual Assistant

PRNewswire | May 18, 2023

SmarTek21, a global AI solutions company, has announced its partnership with Medtech Global, the largest provider of General Practice Management Software (PMS) in New Zealand, by joining the Medtech ALEX® Partnership Programme. The partnership will make SmarTek21's healthcare solution, IntelliTek Health's Clinical Virtual Assistant (CVA), simple for general practice to adopt by providing a secure and seamless connection to the Practice Management System. IntelliTek Health's CVA allows care providers to utilize voice commands for dictation during consultations, prescribing and changing medications, and scheduling follow-up appointments. It also offers clickless and voice navigation through the electronic medical record, reducing the administrative burden on clinicians. As a result, clinical staff will have more capacity and capabilities, extending outside the physical walls of a clinic and into patients' homes with the help of this Gartner-validated AI-based technology. SmarTek21's AI Product CEO and IntelliTek Health's business lead, Martyn Molnar, stated: "We are thrilled to partner with Medtech Global, which will enable clinicians in the APAC region to benefit from the automation of workflows related to patient/clinical encounters. Clinicians will no longer be tied to keyboards and can now move to a hands-free interaction with their patients. Our clinicians have experienced a 17% increase in patient throughput with the help of their voice-enabled system and data-access tools, freeing up an average of 4 minutes per visit due to the automation of administrative tasks and note-taking. They have also reported a 90% improvement in the accuracy of capturing encounter data. As well as a reported 40% decrease in time management follow-up activities, such as bookings. We appreciate the efforts of Geoffrey Sayer, CEO of Medtech Global, and his team in helping us bring this offering through the Medtech ALEX® program." Molnar adds, "All Medtech customers can now enjoy access to Gartner-validated AI-based voice technology, which is fully integrated with Medtech's PMS whether in the clinical setting or on home visits. IntelliTek Health's CVA also has the added benefit of being 20% cheaper than non-Medtech integrated offerings, saving the clinicians both time and money while offering superior features." Geoffrey Sayer responded, "Our health workforce is struggling with shortages, burnout, and economic sustainability. The new IntelliTek Health's clinical virtual assistant creates efficiencies utilizing AI technology, allowing doctors, nurses, and care providers to focus on care delivery and not on administration tasks. This is a great example of how the Medtech ALEX® Partnership Programme is enabling the next wave of innovation throughout the APAC region and supporting care providers delivering healthcare in the home. Secure API FHIR® integration, like the Medtech ALEX® platform, is required for innovation and solving complex problems for patients and providers. We're excited to welcome SmarTek21 on board." Dr. Richard Medlicott, practicing physician and former Medical Director of NZ Royal College of GPs, agrees that "sector collaboration, such as the SmarTek21 and Medtech partnership, is key to supporting our GPs with sustainable solutions that will reduce administration and increase the accuracy of consultation data. These technologies continue to help support us GPs, and nursing teams, with more face-to-face time with our patients in the clinic and outside of the clinic during home visits."
