The MedApps Philosophy
MedApps is focused on making healthcare available anywhere, for anyone, through innovative wireless health monitoring solutions. The company is continually designing, engineering, manufacturing and selling solutions that make it easier for patients to be more compliant and assist in maintaining healthier lifestyles, while reducing healthcare related costs.
The MedApps philosophy is quite simple: create assistive technologies that people will use.
Studies have shown that telehealth solutions can help with compliance and reduce healthcare costs, up to 60%. Once a patient is compliant, they become an integral part of their own care.
But, that’s only IF the patient uses the technology!
We believe that by adapting health care technology to people rather forcing people to adapt to technology – compliance rates will increase, costs for associated care will decline and our health care dollars can help more people.
To ensure this happens, it is MedApps’ belief that we need to always ensure our solutions are based on:
Mobility – The basic underpinning of MedApps technology is to enable wireless transmission of data from virtually anywhere a patient may be. This enables patients to maintain active as possible lifestyles – no longer tethered by monitoring equipment that has to be connected to the patient’s home telephone line.
Simplicity – MedApps ensures nothing gets in between the data and the health care provider. Once a health monitor records a reading, MedApps technology makes it available to a health care provider without the patient pushing any buttons, navigating any screen commands or turning anything on or off. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
Affordability – Our whole focus is on bringing only affordable solutions to the health care market. Not only is our technology priced to the level of portable consumer electronics, but it paves the way for patients, health care providers and insurers to realize even greater savings. MedApps’ open architecture, communications technology enables patients to use competitively-priced, off the shelf, health monitoring devices and supplies. This gives the patient the ability to not only use equipment they can afford, but quite likely, use monitoring equipment they already own and with which they are already familiar.
So often companies are completely focused on pushing the latest technology out into the market. At MedApps, we don’t see a “market.” We see people. Young. Old. Some with disabilities, some not. All needing a little help. Which is why we come to work every day.
