NY Hospital Launching Remote Patient Monitoring Program Through Apple Watch
The Hospital for Special Surgery is launching a telehealth program that will enable providers to monitor orthopedic patients at home before and after hospitalization through an mHealth app and the Apple Watch.
- A New York hospital is developing a telehealth platform that will enable care providers to manage orthopedic patients at home through the Apple Watch.
The Hospital for Special Surgery (HHS), an affiliate of Weill Cornell Medical College with campuses in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, is partnering with Indiana-based Zimmer Biomet on the remote patient monitoring platform, which will be introduced early next year.
HHS is integrating its Orthopedic Care Pathways service with Zimmer Biomet’s mymobility with Apple Watch mHealth platform to give care providers an opportunity to track and manage post-discharge care patients at home. The program will allow patients and providers to track activity through the Apple Watch and connect with each other for virtual visits both before and after hospitalization.
