Blockchain-based telehealth provider Solve.Care has partnered with AliveCor to offer a coordinated cardiac monitoring and telehealth service which will allow users of AliveCor’s KardiaMobile devices and services to easily book teleconsultations with physicians using Solve.Care’s Global Telehealth Exchange (GTHE) network.
Through the partnership, physicians on the network will be able to seamlessly access users’ KardiaMobile electrocardiogram (ECG) readings, upon their consent. The Patients using the KardiaMobile 6L cardiac monitoring device, which is the first and only six-lead personal ECG cleared by the US FDA, will be able to seamlessly share ECG readings, upon their consent, with physicians registered on the GTHE – an open global cross-border telehealth network that enables doctors and patients to connect worldwide.
The partnership will see KardiaMobile devices integrated with Solve.Care’s blockchain platform to enable its users to connect with a physician on GTHE directly through the Kardia app to share their ECG readings during their teleconsultations. As physicians have access to previous ECG readings stored by KardiaMobile, this will provide physicians with a more complete understanding of the patient’s symptoms to facilitate more effective ongoing care. As GTHE is built using blockchain technology, all data is fully secured and remains in control of the patient.
Mark Bogart, Senior Vice President, U.S. Healthcare, AliveCor said, “Our partnership with Solve.Care is important to us as it provides an additional layer of peace of mind to our KardiaMobile users who wish to connect with physicians through the Solve.Care Global Telehealth Exchange network.”
The agreement facilitates greater access to care, widening their choice of instantly booking a tele-consult with any specialized physician throughout the world directly through their mobile devices.
Pradeep Goel, CEO of Solve.Care said, “The healthcare industry is rapidly moving towards digitization. But we should never lose sight that the end-goal of healthcare is to improve the quality of life for the patient. This collaboration will immensely improve the quality of care for users of Care Networks on the Solve.Care Platform. With easy access to patients’ ECG readings, physicians can provide better care to patients on GTHE, as well as the Diabetes Care Network, as patients with type 2 diabetes are at greater risk of cardiovascular diseases.”
