PLANO, Texas, April 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- VitalTech, a
rapidly growing market leader in Virtual Care, announced today
its partnership with VIVUS, Inc, a publicly held biopharmaceutical
company (Nasdaq: VVUS). Leveraging VitalTech's
industry-leading virtual care platform and comprehensive
medical device product line, VIVUS plans to
rapidly accelerate the launch of its telemedicine, virtual
care and remote patient monitoring capabilities.
Providing digital health solutions that transform connected
care, VitalTech is at the forefront of rapidly advancing healthcare
technologies. VitalTech's virtual care platform enables health
systems, physicians and clinicians to streamline workflows while
improving health-related outcomes, thereby increasing patient
safety and lowering the cost of care. Additionally, VitalTech's
innovative medical grade monitoring devices integrate seamlessly
with any mobile or smart devices increasing patient engagement and
compliance.
"We are pleased to be partnering with VIVUS supporting their
continued commitment to their patients and their network. The
launch of the VIVUS Health platform allows thousands of patients to
access their care provider without putting either at risk in the
current COVID-19 crisis," says James
Hamilton, chief executive officer of VitalTech. "In the
current environment, telehealth is a vital tool for physicians to
support patients who may become ill, as well as those who have
chronic conditions. By adopting telehealth, virtual care and remote
patient monitoring, VIVUS's highest risk patients can stay home and
stay safe."
With the addition of VitalTech's virtual care and remote patient
monitoring technologies, VIVUS will rapidly accelerate its ability
to conduct virtual office visits and monitor patients remotely. The
telemedicine and remote monitoring modules are designed to allow
the patient-physician interaction to take place virtually through
the new VIVUS Health Platform, powered by VitalTech.
"We are excited to partner with VitalTech to power our VIVUS
Health Platform. This collaboration allows us to expand our
platform's capabilities to better serve our patient populations,"
says VIVUS chief executive officer, John
Amos. "It is important that we provide robust, integrated
telehealth and remote monitoring modules to allow our healthcare
providers to continue their clinical practices and ensure patients
are receiving the best treatment from home, now more than ever
during this unprecedented pandemic."
VitalTech's remote patient monitoring will be integrated into
the VIVUS Health Platform and include Bluetooth-enabled blood
pressure cuffs, weight scales, pulse oximeters, and spirometers.
Data from these devices will be transmitted directly to the VIVUS
Health Platform, and dynamically updated to the patient's
physician. Physicians can then actively monitor a patient's
physiological data, and implement or adapt treatment in real time
to achieve patient care goals.
