While the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the wide-scale adoption of remote monitoring solutions, this technology is expected to continue to play a significant role beyond the pandemic. To address these rising consumer expectations, healthcare organizations are now incorporating remote monitoring solutions into their long-term strategy for improved patient outcomes.

With increasing patient expectations for digital care since the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare providers have considered implementing a Surgical Remote Monitoring program to increase patient access to care.

In this episode of the SeamlessMD Podcast, Dr. Joshua Liu, Co-founder & CEO at SeamlessMD, and marketing colleague, Alan Sardana, chat with Dr. Jay B. Shah, Vice Chief of Staff of Stanford Health Care, a staff surgeon and associate professor of Urology at Stanford University, and the Cancer Care Program Leader for Urologic Oncology at the Stanford Cancer Center.

We are excited to share the results of a recent case study led by Dr. Friedrich Boettner, an orthopaedic surgeon and specialist in minimally invasive knee and hip replacement surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS).

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, health care providers worldwide have been racing to implement remote monitoring platforms that extend patient access to surgical care beyond the bounds of the hospital while also minimizing in-person visits.

We are excited to share the results of our partnership with Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC), a 375-bed acute care hospital delivering care across Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario.

Crozer Health is now virtually supporting patients with SeamlessMD, a digital patient engagement platform, keeping patients safe, connected, and less likely to be readmitted. Crozer Health is the first health system in Pennsylvania to implement SeamlessMD to advance its Thoracic Surgery program and the first in the nation to digitally support patients undergoing robotic bronchoscopy procedures.

While Surgical Remote Monitoring technology has been around long before COVID-19, the pandemic has undeniably increased the demand for these platforms. Healthcare providers are now more inclined to embrace this technology to increase access to care, reduce surgical backlogs, and improve patient outcomes.
