WiPaM Telemedicine Platform
IXSyS developed the WiPaM telemedicine platform. WiPaM permits to connect homecare devices wirelessly with health care providers that can follow these data in real-time from a distance.
WiPaM is typically used for follow-up of chronically ill patients - like patients with diabetes, asthma, hypertension, COPD, heart failure... - and for at home hospitalization.
WiPaM Principle
Patients are equipped with homecare devices in their homes. At regular intervals tests are performed and the results of these tests are transmitted to the WiPaM server using the latest telecommunication technologies, like Bluetooth, GSM, Internet... Every health care professional that is involved in the patients follow-up can consult these data in real-time on the secure website.
WiPaM is more than just a collection tool for homecare data. The data from tests done by physicians in their medical practice can also be uploaded to the WiPaM server. This allows building a complete telemedicine network centered around the patient.
WiPaM Advantages
- Time and cost saving
Many trials have shown that because of the improved follow-up of patients using telemedicine, a decrease in healthcare costs is achieved because of an earlier detection of complications and exacerbations. - Better follow-up of patients
The follow-up of objective, physiological parameters permits an earlier detection of complications and exacerbations which ultimately results in a better health for the patient. - Decrease in Hospitalizations
The improved detection of complications results in a quicker intervention, less serious consequences and fewer hospitalizations. - Secure
A lot of attention has been given to the platforms security and privacy. - User Friendly
A lot of attention has been given to usability. WiPaM has a very intuitive interface for all users.
Health care workers do not need to go online every day to check their patients' data: individual alarms can be programmed for each patient. In case of deviant results an alert is sent by email or SMS.
