Current standards of care of remote patient monitoring solutions require painful integrations with medical devices that make the service tough to handle and inoperable at some points. We still find patients taking their measurements on paper notes that usually get lost by the time they have their next medical appointment. Readily available remote patient monitoring softwares are usually focused on one healthcare condition only and require end users to purchase new medical devices with the software preinstalled for data transmission making it complex for healthcare providers and costly to both national healthcare systems and patients.
Doctomatic provides a unique solution using visual IA for multiple healthcare conditions that allows to transform images of the results of measurements of medical devices into data (heart rate monitors, scales, thermometers, glucometers, pulsioximeters).
Doctomatic has been used in one of Barcelona’s public main hospitals (Hospital del Mar, currently in pause waiting for the public tender to be published), private medical practices and Clariane group owned “Seniors Residencias” (elderly care homes) in Spain. One of our use cases is a patient with cardiac insufficiency who requires frequent monitoring of both their heart rate and weight. The doctor prescribes the use of Doctomatic either as a stand-alone app or embedded within the HCP providers’ own app to capture their measurements on a regular basis. Patients would get a reminder, take their
measurements and send the data. If the data is non-existent or out of range, the doctor/medical centre is alerted and can act accordingly preventing the worsening of that patient’s condition.
Our TRL is 9, however our AI technology needs more development in order to read more devices and with more accuracy. Doctomatic currently reads the images of: glucometers, heart rate monitor, thermometre, digital scales, pulse oximeters and Alivecor Kardia ECG reports. Our challenge is to be able to detect more devices that have never been connected and allow them an extended digital life in the preventative healthcare market such as the peak flow (asthma & COPD), urine reactive strips, etc.
