Brian Egan, ADHT’s founder and CEO, said: “We believe that the combination of our advanced medical home model which encompasses, telehealth, primary care and pharmacy services with committed professionals as affiliates will lead to the greatest impact on quality of patient care combined with significant reduction in expenses. We have already begun to establish affiliate arrangements with physician groups in several states including our most recent affiliate in Toledo, Ohio, and look forward to achieving complete coverage throughout the United States with this approach.”
Affiliates will have access to the company’s new medical home model, software, web portal, and Bluetooth enabled medical monitoring equipment that works on a Smart Phone or Touch Tablet for use by patients suffering from chronic conditions that can be monitored and treated at home such as diabetes, obesity, congestive heart disease, and others. ADHT staff will install and train patients on the proper use of the hardware and, following installation, measure blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, weight, blood glucose, and medication compliance. Additional monitoring capabilities are planned to be introduced in 2012. All data is collected automatically without wires or tethered cables and transmitted in real time, securely to a portal which is monitored 24/7 by medical personnel. In addition, the ADHT technology offers expanded capabilities for dietary recommendations, exercise program monitoring, video conferencing and other proactive healthy lifestyle programs.
The InVentures Group (IVG), a leading Buffalo-based consulting firm, was hired by ADHT to assist in developing the new affiliate business model and identifying new opportunities for growth and profitability. InVentures’ CEO, Keith Blakely remarked, “We are excited by the significant progress that ADHT has made in the past six months . They are developing and demonstrating a new healthcare model that is being embraced enthusiastically by the user community. There is no doubt that this is the direction that healthcare is moving in – better patient care, reduced costs, and improved outcomes through the use of personalized technology and seamless integration of services - and we are excited to be assisting Brian and his team in leading the industry forward. We are convinced that ADHT is on the fast track to a successful future and one that others will soon look to emulate.”

In my opinion, the emergence of telehealth right now has given more positive impact and benefits especially to the health care industry. It helps our health care professionals to educate patients as well as help patients from afar to be more proactive and efficient.
