AGNITY Healthcare Unveils APTUS MobileCare for Healthcare Professionals Seeking Freedom of Mobility, Anytime Access to Clinical Information at the Poi
APTUS MobileCare application improves delivery of personalized healthcare all on the Smartphone, eliminating need for pagers, PDAs, cell phones, clipboards and paper records
SILICON VALLEY – Feb. 24, 2010 – AGNITY Healthcare, a leading provider of products, applications and services that harness the power of mobility and the Internet to improve access and the quality of healthcare, today announced APTUS MobileCare™, a mobile healthcare application for healthcare professionals that eliminates the need to carry multiple devices by integrating traditionally reliable and proven paging technology with advanced mobile networks for mobile communications along with access to clinical information such as medical charts, e-prescriptions, referrals and drug compliance data — all on a single Smartphone. APTUS MobileCare is aimed at improving productivity, efficiency and access to quality healthcare.
“Mobile healthcare promises to deliver greater efficiency among doctors, nurses and hospital administrators. Mobile health applications in the hospital and care provider systems will be a critical success factor in the move to reform healthcare and provide greater access to care at lower cost,” said Shashi Tripathi, vice president of product development at AGNITY Healthcare.
By consolidating clinical information onto one mobile device, APTUS MobileCare offers healthcare personnel the freedom of mobility to deliver healthcare on-demand. The solution is an ideal extension of a hospital or doctor’s office, allowing physicians and nurses to serve patients in the hospital network or anywhere that point-of-care service is required.
APTUS MobileCare also delivers medicine compliance solutions to hospitals and patients. Two-thirds of Americans fail to take any or all of their prescribed medications. APTUS MobileCare delivers alarms and reminders to patients and their prescribing doctor, providing accurate compliance reports.
According to a 2009 study by Manhattan Research, 64 percent of doctors in the United States carry a Smartphone or PDA, an increase of 28 percent since 2005. The percentage of Smartphone adoption among doctors is expected to grow as mobile browsing capabilities improve, allowing doctors to complete more complex tasks remotely. Patients also are benefiting from the digital health trend. In the same report, 39 percent of doctors interact with their patients online, providing new points of care.
The APTUS family of healthcare applications was designed to address the concerns for interoperability and deliver healthcare information to healthcare professionals reliably, securely with a simple and predictable set of interfaces.
With APTUS MobileCare, there is no need to replace existing IT infrastructure. The solution is built on common standards for wireless data.
“Healthcare reform is not confined to public policy in Washington. Real reform is taking place in the hospitals and healthcare centers across the nation where physicians, nurses and administrators are embracing mobile solutions to improve efficiency at the point of care. The future of healthcare is mobile, efficient and personal,” said Ken Epps, president of AGNITY Healthcare.
