Home Care Solutions: Supporting Patients Through a Global Crisis

During times of global health crises, traditional models of care often fall short. Fear and uncertainty can lead patients with chronic illnesses to delay or even avoid treatment, while overextended providers may be unable to deliver routine checkups or preventive care. To bridge these gaps, care teams are turning to innovative home health solutions that deliver clinical-quality monitoring and therapies outside the hospital setting.

A study by insurance company Cigna found that in February and March of 2020, hospitalizations for acute coronary syndromes dropped by 11%, and hospitalizations for transient ischemic attacks or atrial fibrillation fell by more than 30%. This is alarming given that, according to the CDC, 6 in 10 American adults live with chronic illness. With telemedicine now more critical than ever, connected home care technologies are ensuring continuity of care.

Ensuring Accuracy in Home Monitoring

Accurate measurements are the foundation of effective treatment. Yet patient non-compliance or errors in reporting can slow progress and increase the need for additional follow-ups. Connected home care devices from Medical Global Services are designed to improve accuracy, adherence, and communication between patients and providers—helping care teams make better-informed decisions and patients achieve better outcomes.

Improving Patient Outcomes at Home

Nobody wants unnecessary hospital stays. Clinical-grade home devices allow patients to recover comfortably at home while giving providers real-time insight into their health status. This approach not only shortens hospital stays but also reduces acute events and keeps patients safer.

Medical Global Services’ portfolio of solutions supports scalable, chronic disease management through accurate monitoring, streamlined workflows, and real-time clinical insights:

• The Vest® Airway Clearance System: Assists with mobilizing retained secretions that can cause respiratory infections, hospitalizations, and lung function decline. Over 80 clinical studies show its effectiveness, with 94% of patients seeing improved lung function trends after two years.

• Volara® System: Combines three therapies in a single device to expand the lungs, mobilize mucus, and simplify home treatment. Providers can program treatment cycles, ensuring patients complete therapy as prescribed from the comfort of home.
