Blues Wireless Enabled Agilix to Drastically Reduce Costs and Deliver Life-Saving Technology Into the Hands of Underserved Patients

Agilix Health is redefining the model and delivering improved quality of care for cancer patients through remote health monitoring systems. By connecting to the cloud via a cellular model, the device provides a holistic view on the health of cancer patients between appointments and allows providers to mitigate side effects of treatment.

• 60% of patients visit the emergency department at least once within 6 months of diagnosis.
• 50% of those visits are avoidable by proactive care management and monitoring.
• $8,000 average cost of an emergency room.

Solution

Agilix recognized the need to?support patients between medical appointments through nutrition support and remote monitoring.?The platform looks at patients' holistic health on an ongoing basis, picking up on early signals of distress that would either result in emergency department visits or disruption of treatment.

The Blues team collaborated with?Agilix Health?to prototype a digital grip strength meter in six weeks.?The digital meter translates a patient’s health information to the cloud for analysis, empowering patients and providers with real-time data.

When considering solutions,?security and ease of use for patients, ability to develop a robust product, and long-term reliability?were the biggest factors for Agilix.
