MIRAMAR, Fla., May 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation (www.generex.com) (OTCQB:GNBT) (“Generex” or the “Company”), an innovative and integrated healthcare holding company with end-to-end solutions for patient centric care including the development of its innovative “Complete Vaccine” to fight SARS-CoV-2, announces today that its subsidiary NuGenHealth has signed a contract with Florida Health Care Associates (FHCA) to provide connected care solutions for patient engagement and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) services. NuGenHealth, a joint venture between Generex subsidiary NuGenerex Health and Worldwide Digitech, LLC (WWDT) will provide the software, data framework and back-end support for the NuGenHealth SaaS system to advance collaborative, connected care in order to improve patient health outcomes for patients under the care of FHCA.
The NuGenHealth system offers direct savings to physicians and healthcare organizations both in time and money, allowing the healthcare team to monitor patient progress outside the practice office, leading to timely interventions and early identification of disease progression that may prevent unnecessary hospitalizations. The SaaS system utilizes automated algorithms, real-time data, and quality metrics to involve patients in their own care, while keeping healthcare providers and family constantly informed.
RPM is the use of digital technologies to monitor and capture medical/health data from patients and electronically transmit the information to their providers for assessment, recommendations, and instructions. Providers use RPM to collect a wide range of patient data, including blood pressure, weight, heart rate, and blood sugar levels.
Under the terms of the agreement, NuGenHealth will provide the SaaS system and implementation, personnel training, and system oversight to optimize workflows for RPM and to collect, analyze, and report real-time patient data. NuGenHealth will also supply FHCA with Bluetooth connected blood pressure monitors, electronic scales, glucose monitors, and pulse oximeters for their eligible patient population. In collaboration with and assistance from the NuGenHealth implementation team, FHCA will implement the NuGenHealth SaaS suite on site, handle the initial onboarding of patients, train their patients on the use of the monitoring devices, and manage the day-to-day monitoring of their RPM patient population.
SunJay Kumar, President of NuGenHealth (A Subsidiary of Generex Biotechnology Corp.) said, “We are very excited to launch NuGenHealth with our physician partners at Florida Health Care Associates, managers of one of the largest primary care practices in the South Florida region. The NuGenHealth SaaS system is now being installed at two major primary care centers using their simple implementation process that will enable us to rapidly enroll patients at FHCA and at our other site in Arizona. Remote patient monitoring is a service that was positioned for significant growth as the pandemic has accelerated the practice of remote patient monitoring to improve outcomes. We are excited to launch our NuGenHealth SaaS program, and we look forward to continued expansion of our RPM business with the announcement of additional contracts in the next several weeks.”
