Chicago and New York – October 19, 2022 – GE Healthcare and AMC Health today announced a collaboration that allows clinicians to offer Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) as a virtual care solution that extends patient care outside the hospital to the home environment. The combination of GE Healthcare's acute patient monitoring capabilities in the hospital setting, along with AMC Health's expertise in RPM solutions leveraging an FDA Class II 510(k)-cleared platform with analytics will extend the continuum of non-acute care for patients after being discharged from the hospital.

"Pairing AMC Health's Remote Patient Monitoring suite with GE Healthcare's clinical monitoring offering will extend care beyond the clinical setting and enable more patients to continue to receive quality care from the comfort of their homes, delivering healthcare without limits," said Ashutosh Banerjee, General Manager Diagnostic Cardiology and Remote Patient Monitoring, GE Healthcare. "AMC Health was selected as our partner due to their established and proven success engaging with patients to measure numerous biometrics in the home to extend the continuum of care."

Nearly half of all Americans, more than 133 million, live with a chronic disease and almost a third of the population lives with multiple chronic conditions, contributing to 90 percent of the 4 trillion-dollar annual national health care expenditure. The management of these costly chronic conditions involves monitoring, surveillance and ensuring the patient adheres to their care plan, to avoid deterioration of their condition or unnecessary, costly hospital admissions. Leveraging AMC Health's RPM platform and data analytics, hospitals, payers, and providers can implement a seamless strategy to coordinate care transitions as well as influence healthy behaviors, and with clinician guidance, also promote self-management of chronic conditions.
The companies are collaborating to meet the market need for a scalable RPM solution that applies analytics and risk stratification to identify anticipated patient demand for future services, which could include admissions or readmissions. Coupling AMC Health's broad suite of solutions and GE Healthcare's large install base in the US could ultimately bring these RPM solutions to more health care providers and patients.

AMC Health's holistic solution allows a clinical team to focus on the whole patient and their unique, often complex health conditions. Utilizing an RPM solution that is tailored to each individual allows for effective treatment, providing patients with access to easy-to-use, convenient monitoring technology outside the hospital walls, while providing near real-time data to their clinician in support of treatment decisions. Home monitoring of biometrics for patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, for example, provides the care team with episodic data, providing a more complete picture of the patient's condition.
