Empowering Chronic Kidney Disease Patients with Remote Monitoring - Let’s Celebrate World Kidney Day To celebrate World Kidney Day on March 14, Vironix Health, Inc., is delighted to announce the latest release of our virtual care monitoring module for the management of #chronickidneydisease (CKD). Our research-based, AI-driven algorithms can reduce the risks associated with CKD through ongoing #remotepatientmonitoring and #chroniccaremanagement. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 37 million US adults have CKD, and most are undiagnosed. Among those with severely reduced kidney function but not on dialysis, 40% are not even aware of having CKD. In 2019, treating Medicare beneficiaries with CKD cost $87.2 billion, while treating people with end-stage renal disease cost an additional $37.3 billion. Vironix now offers remote patient monitoring (RPM) for chronic kidney disease. Both healthcare providers and patients can track vitals, weight, and other key health data remotely, enabling 🔎 Early detection of complications: Through daily monitoring, RPM can identify potential issues like rising blood pressure or fluid overload before they become emergencies. 🏥 Reduced hospitalizations and avoided emergency room visits: Early detection and intervention through RPM can prevent complications that could require an ER visit or hospitalization. 😀 Enhanced patient engagement: RPM empowers patients to take an active role in managing their condition, fostering a sense of control and well-being. 😊 Improved peace of mind: When caregivers and family members are far away from their loved ones with CKD, the Vironix remote patient monitoring solution shares their vital measurements, assuring or alerting them about the patient’s condition. Remote patient monitoring for CKD patients is an investment in their health and wellbeing.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are revolutionizing chronic disease management, providing public health departments with valuable data to improve disease outcomes. EHRs offer a more accurate and timely alternative to traditional self-reported data, significantly reducing delays in data availability. The CDC's Data Modernization Initiative exemplifies the use of EHRs in advancing chronic disease practice and data systems. However, the success of EHR-based public health surveillance hinges on robust governance policies and trust between healthcare systems and public health departments, as demonstrated by the Multi-State EHR-Based Network for Disease Surveillance. https://lnkd.in/gWq6RqBV

Awareness is the cornerstone of effective healthcare. If patients misinterpret symptoms or neglect health-related risk factors, it could cost them their quality of life—or even their lives. Knowing how to identify the red flags of a disease is the first step in prevention, early detection, and targeted treatment.

#Telehealth has become a crucial resource for individuals living with lupus, a complex and unpredictable autoimmune disease affecting 1.5 million Americans. The ability to access healthcare remotely has been a lifeline for lupus patients, who often struggle with severe fatigue, joint pain, and increased susceptibility to infections. Telehealth not only reduces the risk of exposure to harmful germs but also addresses the shortage of #rheumatologists by expanding access to specialized care. A 2022 study even found that telehealth visits for lupus nephritis resulted in high patient satisfaction and effective disease management, highlighting the importance of this service in comprehensive care plans. However, the telehealth flexibilities extended during the COVID-19 pandemic are set to expire at the end of 2024, putting millions of Americans with chronic conditions like lupus at risk of losing vital access to care. The Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. urges #Congress to act swiftly to extend these flexibilities for at least two more years. Telehealth has revolutionized healthcare for those with chronic illnesses, and it’s essential that we protect and expand this access to ensure continued care and improved health outcomes for all who need it. #Lupus #ChronicIllness #HealthcareAccess #Medicare #DigitalHealth #PatientCare
