Cross Technology Solutions, a Swedish medtech company, provides both healthcare and patients with the eHealth platform LifePod, for remote monitoring of patients with chronic conditions or needs for temporary follow-up monitoring, e.g. post surgery. LifePod identifies and automatically grades patients’ medical priority using smart algorithms.  This results in increased security for patients, improved communication and significant saving opportunities, with a 98% reduction in emergency room visit and a 99% reduction in admissions in inpatient care.

All over the world, healthcare providers struggle to effectively use their limited resources. Simultaneously, a growing number of patients want better and more personalized care. By offering caregivers a possibility to proactively focus on the patients with the greatest needs, LifePod enables caregivers to free up time to take care of 20-40% more patients.  

LifePod is developed in close collaboration with healthcare professionals. The platform is used in primary care centers and specialist clinics to monitor patients with congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and a vaste number of other conditions. The parameters for the medical conditions are assembled in a platform-independent web application which has built-in functionality for reminders, rewards and features to motivate and encourage the patient, which leads to better risk factor management and compliance to medical treatment.  

Each patient inputs data in the web application that can be complemented by data from connected sensors (e.g . weight scales, blood pressure, pulse rate). The web application communicates to the LifePod platform, delivering both priority (medical-grade) and relevant (patient-grade) data that provides a holistic view of the patient’s health state. The resulting feedback is an individual healthcare plan tailored to the user. 

On the other side, the doctor’s dashboard monitors in real time, large groups of patients and through a unique and automatic prioritization function, identifies the patients with greatest needs, showing which patients need a medical treatment, who needs closer monitoring and which patients are doing well.

– LifePod is a decision support system that saves lives and time, with disruptive technology, we help patients and enable healthcare to provide the right care, at the right time, to the right patient, says Titti Lundgren, CEO at Cross Technology Solutions.

– LifePod generates data over time and complemented by other data types, this big data can serve as input to an artificial intelligence (AI) system. Through machine learning it is possible to establish cause and effect in different health conditions, moving towards prescriptive functionality. This enables huge savings in emergency care costs as well as improving the quality of life for patients, says Thomas Bergqwist, founder & CTO at Cross Technology Solutions. 

LifePod is an open API platform which easily connects to other external systems to deliver a complete and customized solution to support care outside the clinic. The ecosystem architectureis built for fast implementation of additional health conditions, new sensors and applications. It is platform-independent and runs on all devices and operating systems. LifePod is a CE-approved medical device class IIa, protected by several approved patents world wide. 

Cross Technology Solutions at HIMSS

Cross Technology Solutions is a member of the HealthTech Nordic network and is selected to present at their pavilion 410 at the HIMSS conference in Helsinki 14-16 June. You can also meet them on June 16^th at 10.30-11.30 am in conference room 206. 

Cardiolyse enables remote vital sign monitoring and personalized patient reports for early diagnostics of cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients – basically it can predict a stroke two months before it occurs.

– Cardiolyse adds value to primary as well as secondary prevention, giving early signs to healthcare professionals and engaging patient self-managed care says Normunds Daudiss, CBDO of Cardiolyse.

Cardiolyse provides a chronic and post-discharge cardiovascular disease (CVD) patient monitoring platform with cloud-based heart health AI analytics. The Heart Health Analytics platform features:

• Automatic rest ECG & Holter ECG, as well as HRV data analysis
• Cardiac risk assessment and monitoring
• Warnings of personal behavioral changes
• Device agnostic solution

The platform takes raw heart health (ECG, HRV) data and turns them into actionable insight, for caregivers and doctors to take the appropriate action. The risk-stratification and decision support Scoring System can be used for different patient groups (chronic, post-MI, CAD, post AF ablation, etc).

– Intervention at the right time leads to fewer physician office visits, fewer dangerous heart events and less hospital readmissions. Cardiolyse provides a win-win situation for patients, hospitals and insurance companies, says Anna Starynska, CEO of Cardiolyse.

Solution consists of following key parts:

• Standard ECG analysis – 19 arrhythmias
• Myocardial damage – determines the dynamics of myocardial changes and determines the effectiveness of therapeutic measures
• A patented Universal ECG Score System – quantitative assessment of patient’s condition. This method is non-specific but sensitive for evaluating the effectiveness of therapeutic measures and has a proven predictive value 2 months in advance in relation to the outcome of a number of diseases.

The analytics modules and the whole cloud architecture are ideal for remote patient monitoring. It includes secured data storage, web dashboard, and applications for patients, as well as supervisory access and report editing software for caregivers.
