What trend does our Panacea platform follow?

The use of predictive analytics to manage transitions of care proactively.

Healthcare providers increasingly share real-time data to visualise untapped capacity, proactively facilitate care transitions from one setting to the next, and forecast and prepare for future demand. 

Using the power of AI and predictive analytics, we can extract relevant insights on patient flow and patient care needs from vast amounts of real-time and historical data. This allows providers to categorise their customer base, predict trends, identify risk factors and act preventively. 

After initial validation, the resulting algorithms can be updated regularly to consider recent trends and circumstances – offering clinical and operational teams the real-time, actionable insights they need to make timely and effective decisions. 

Embedding these data-driven practices is essential to act more effectively across the patient journey and ensure continuity of care, guaranteeing that the patient gets the proper care in the right place at the right time.

What is Care Orchestration?

Care orchestration is a term used in the healthcare industry to describe the coordinated management and delivery of healthcare services to patients. It involves systematically organising and integrating various healthcare providers, resources, and information to ensure patients receive comprehensive and timely care.

This model of care aims to address the complexity and fragmentation often found in healthcare systems by facilitating communication and collaboration among different stakeholders, including primary care physicians, specialists, nurses, pharmacists, and other care providers. It also enables the seamless coordination of activities such as appointments, referrals, diagnostic tests, treatments, and follow-up care.

What is Augmented Telemedicine?

It’s the concept of remote medicine that uses data to empower doctors for better diagnosis and continuity of care, to improve patients' lives at a lower cost.

How does Augmented Telemedicine come to life?

By using AI to triage and read vital signs and by capturing data from connected devices and other tools to measure how patients feel, while effortlessly recording physician’s notes, lab analytics and other exams.

What is Telemedicine technology?

Telemedicine technology refers to using telecommunication services, such as video conferencing and secure messaging, to deliver healthcare services while both patients and physicians are in a remote setting. 

What are the benefits of Telemedicine technology?

Telemedicine technology offers several benefits for both patients and healthcare providers, including:

  1. Improved access to healthcare: Telemedicine technology can help patients who live in remote or rural areas or who have difficulty travelling to a healthcare facility. This can be especially relevant for chronic patients who require ongoing monitoring and treatment, which results in big expenditures with transportation. 
  2. Cost savings: Telemedicine technology can help reduce healthcare costs by eliminating the need for some in-person visits, reducing patient travel expenses, and minimising the need for healthcare facilities and equipment.
  3. Increased efficiency: Telemedicine technology allows healthcare providers to see more patients in less time, as they can conduct virtual consultations and follow-up appointments more efficiently than in-person visits.
  4. Improved patient outcomes: Telemedicine technology can improve patient outcomes by allowing for more frequent monitoring and communication between patients and healthcare providers, leading to earlier detection and treatment of health issues.
  5. Convenience: Telemedicine technology allows patients to receive medical care from the comfort of their own homes, which can be particularly important for patients with mobility issues or who live far from a healthcare facility.

Overall, telemedicine technology can help improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare while also reducing costs and increasing efficiency for both patients and healthcare providers.

What is the difference between a traditional telemedicine platform and Panacea?

A regular telemedicine platform typically involves a doctor-patient moment through video consultations or secure messaging in a one-off situation. While these platforms may offer some data tracking and management, they typically do not leverage advanced data analytics through tools that provide insights or personalised patient recommendations.

In contrast, Panacea, a data-driven telemedicine platform, gathers over 150 data points in every consultation and uses advanced analytics tools and machine learning algorithms to analyse patient data to generate personalised insights for patients and healthcare providers. This may include analysing health data from wearables or other remote monitoring devices and/or data from electronic health records and other sources in a GDPR-compliant system.

Panacea also incorporates predictive analytics to help identify patients at risk of developing certain health conditions or needing additional interventions or support. Therefore, the platform allows healthcare providers to proactively address potential health issues before they become more serious.

Overall, Panacea has the potential to offer more personalised and proactive digital health services, combining quality telemedicine consultations with advanced data analytics to deliver an end-to-end platform that involves all stages of care. 

What are the key components of Care Orchestration?

The key components of Care Orchestration may include:

  1. Care coordination: This involves systematically arranging healthcare services and providers to ensure patients receive the proper care at the right time and in the most appropriate setting. It may include assigning a care coordinator who acts as the patient's central point of contact and helps facilitate communication and collaboration among the care team.
  2. Data sharing: Care orchestration relies on exchanging relevant patient information among healthcare providers to support informed decision-making and continuity of care. Electronic health records (EHRs) and health information exchange systems enable seamless patient data sharing while maintaining privacy and security.
  3. Care planning: Care orchestration involves the development of individualised care plans for patients, considering their unique needs, goals, and preferences. These care plans serve as a roadmap for the delivery of coordinated care and guide the involvement of different care providers across various settings.
  4. Patient engagement: Care orchestration recognises the importance of involving patients in their own care. It incentivises patient education, shared decision-making, and active participation in self-management. With this, patients are empowered with the information and resources they need to understand their conditions, make informed choices, and actively participate in their treatment plans.

How can Care Orchestration serve the healthcare industry?
