ZainTech, the digital and ICT powerhouse of Zain Group, has entered into a partnership agreement with Tunstall Healthcare, an international health and care technology company, to offer remote patient monitoring (RPM) as a service to healthcare providers (HCPs) across the Middle East and North Africa region.
The service will assist healthcare providers to offer an enhanced experience by effectively monitoring patients’ chronic diseases in and out of hospital premises. Telemedicine and the use of digital and technological innovations in the medical sphere is an expanding area of operation. The ZainTech remote patient monitoring technology solution will manage a wide range of scenarios from diabetes and hypertension, to oncology, weight management and prenatal and postpartum support.
RPM enables a number of positive outcomes for both clinicians and patients including the easy prioritization of care, the close monitoring of patients with a reduction in the need for face-to-face meetings, and early intervention to prevent deterioration and the need for more complex care.
This niche offering is based on an advanced platform capable of monitoring a wide range of diseases through multiple remote sensors. ZainTech’s RPM solution is highly geared towards the management of specific chronic diseases by healthcare providers, empowering patients to assume greater control over their health conditions using Tunstall’s software.
Distinguishing features of ZainTech’s remote patient monitoring service include instant availability of patient information and latest readings; instant chat allowing patients and providers to participate in online text conversations; video conferencing that allows patients and providers (or just providers) to hold face-to-face meetings; as well as the logging of all online activities within the system to ensure accountability of actions.
ZainTech already possesses vast experience in the management of cloud environments and data security, which is being brought to bear in the context of this latest partnership.
