In chronic care management, patient adherence is one of the biggest challenges. Missed medications and incomplete health monitoring can lead to worsening conditions, hospitalizations, and increased healthcare costs. Many patient adherence solutions often rely on apps or digital tracking, which seniors can find cumbersome.
The Tenovi Celllular Gateway is a simple, effective patient adherence solution that uses red and green light indicators to provide clear, unavoidable reminders. This system works to help patients stay on track with their medications and vital sign monitoring without the hassle of technology.
Patient Adherence Solutions in Chronic Care
One of the biggest hurdles in chronic disease management is ensuring that patients follow their prescribed treatments. Research states that nearly 50% of patients with chronic conditions do not take their medications as prescribed. This is concerning because 80% or more adherence rates are needed for optimal therapeutic efficacy. Not adhering to medication schedules can lead to poor health outcomes and increased medical costs.
On the other hand, effective patient adherence solutions can improve health outcomes by reducing hospital readmissions, preventing complications, and increasing overall treatment success. A large component of improving health outcomes is breaking down patient barriers to medication and remote monitoring measurement adherence, such as forgetfulness, complexity, and lack of engagement.
A Patient Adherence Solution with Simple Visual Reminders
The Tenovi Gateway simplifies patient adherence to taking their medication and remote monitoring measurements with a red and green light system. Tenovi Cellular Gateway is the Heart of the Tenovi remote monitoring ecosystem. It connects to over 40 Tenovi and partner FDA-cleared Bluetooth RPM and RTM devices and securely transmits incoming vital sign and health measurements data to Tenovi’s Cloud through most cellular towers in North America. With one API, health organizations gain access to data, fulfillment, shipping and care management and patient customer support.
What Does Red Mean?
Each morning, an LED light ring turns read on the Tenovi Gateway signaling and reminding the patient to take their medications with the Tenovi Pillbox or measure vitals such as blood pressure, weight, and blood glucose.
What Does Green Mean?
Once the patient has taken their medication or vital sign measurement. the Tenovi Cellular Gateway LED ring changes to green. The green lights offers the patient immediate reassurance as it confirms to the patient that their doctor has received the measurements.
By using this simple patient adherence solution, senior patients do not have to check an app or remember multiple steps. The Gateway, when placed near their medical devices, serves as a constant, unavoidable reminder that improves adherence without added complexity.
Breaking Down Barriers to Patient Adherence with Real-Time Provider Alerts
Another challenge in adherence is ensuring timely medical intervention when patients miss medications or take abnormal vital sign readings. The Tenovi Gateway’s patient adherence solution addresses this by:
- Transmitting real-time data to healthcare providers.
- Sending alerts if vital signs exceed a set threshold.
- Enabling doctors to take immediate action, preventing complications.
- Improved care and tracking between in-office appointments.
- Increased accuracy, as patients are not manually logging measurements.
By removing the need for manual reporting or app check-ins, this solution makes adherence seamless and effective for both patients and providers.
Cost-Effective Patient Adherence Solutions with Cellular Connectivity
Many remote monitoring devices require their own cellular connectivity, increasing costs for patients and providers. The Tenovi Gateway’s patient adherence solution eliminates this need by acting as a single transmission hub for multiple devices.
This approach makes it:
- More affordable by reducing the need for individual cellular plans.
- More accessible for patients who may not use Wi-Fi or smartphones.
- More efficient for providers managing multiple patients.
By centralizing patient adherence solutions, the Tenovi Gateway simplifies health monitoring while lowering costs.
Which Devices Connect to the Tenovi Cellular Gateway?
Tenovi offers a wide range of Tenovi branded and partner remote monitoring and remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) devices to choose from. This wide selection allows healthcare organizations to target specific chronic care conditions where patients could benefit from daily remote monitoring. Each RPM or RTM device measures a different vital sign.
For example, patients with hypertension would use a blood pressure monitor, while those with diabetes would be monitored with a blood glucose meter. The following remote monitoring devices connect with the Tenovi Cellular Gateway. Tenovi also accepts requests for custom integrations.
