With the proliferation of consumer wearables and sensors, combined with advances in connected medical devices, Pegasystems can now use the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) to advance care management in new ways using connected devices - from pulse oximeters and glucometers to body scales and fitness trackers - via the Philips HealthSuite Cloud platform. Through the combination of clinical data, industry best-practice care guidelines and advanced analytics, Pega Care Management will provide a patient's health management team with a holistic view of the patient's health and care plans so they can extend personalized managed care in any setting - from ambulatory and acute to the home and on the go.
"It is great to see leading companies like Pegasystems joining the growing momentum of the Philips HealthSuite Cloud platform network to enhance care beyond the hospital walls," said Jeroen Tas, CEO, Connected Care and Health Informatics, Philips. "The collaboration of Philips and Pega is a next step to deliver successful and efficient population health management to unify the silos of personal health and clinical data so every member of a person's health care team can take advantage of data in the context of the patient's broader health."
