DocGo (NASDAQ: DCGO), a leading provider of last-mile mobile health services, announced today that it will build upon its existing partnership with Gary and Mary West PACE (West PACE) and introduce a revolutionary remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution.
Traditional RPM allows health-care providers to monitor patients with certain medical conditions after a hospital stay or major medical event, reducing annual healthcare costs while maintaining or improving quality of care by enabling more care to happen in the home.
DocGo’s enhanced RPM offering combines remote patient monitoring with telehealth consultations, on-site urgent care for patients who need medical attention, and medical transportation for patients who need to be taken to a hospital for treatment.
“The combination of DocGo’s technology, highly-skilled clinical staff, robust mobile health and medical transportation services create a comprehensive, revolutionary offering,” said President Anthony Capone.
“Our ability to leverage RPM to see patient data in near-real time enables us to provide proactive care for patients, keeping them healthy in their homes while reducing the cost of care – it’s a win/win for both patients and providers.”
The RPM pilot program is with West PACE, a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, and funded through a research collaboration with West Health Institute. PACE participants have been enrolled in the pilot program, which runs through the end of 2022.
DCGO shares eked up nine cents to $10.76.
