• WebCareHealth partners with Dr. Marc A. Silver, key opinion leader on treatment of heart failure (Oct 18, 2019)

  April 9, 2019 (ANKENY) – Renowned heart failure expert Dr. Marc A. Silver is joining WebCareHealth to assist the healthtech company in evolving one of its newest products, HFMgr. HFMgr is a cloud-based software solution, which allows care providers to remotely monitor heart failure patients’ status by collecting and evaluating key data from a variety of sources, even some directly submitted by patients. This allows for the identification of gaps in care and the opportunity to take rapid action.

  “Patients are my first priority, always. I see this as a collaborative opportunity to help them,” said Dr. Silver. “Chronic diseases are notoriously hard to manage and treat. But WebCareHealth has provided the structure for everyone to do it successfully. The platform is delivering data that is actionable and provides clarity on how to make evidence-based improvements in care. It’s the next logical step in where medtech needs to go. Comprehensive solutions like HFMgr can truly change the way we care for all heart failure patients.”

  Silver is an international leader in the research and treatment of heart failure. In addition to a long and successful career as a medical center leader and practicing cardiologist in Chicago, he is a founding member of the Heart Failure Society of America and was one of the authors of the HFSA and ACC/AHA heart failure guidelines for more than a decade. Silver has published nearly 200 scientific papers, as well as the patient-focused book Success with Heart Failure, which explains practical strategies for living well, the most recent treatments available and methods currently being researched. No longer actively treating patients or leading a hospital, Silver is using his time to identify successful strategies for the treatment of heart failure, which can be implemented industry-wide and ultimately improve outcomes for patients.

  Dr. Teresa Sieck, CEO of WebCareHealth, said, “Dr. Silver is an extraordinary partner for us. He’s already very hands-on in our collaboration and is contributing so much of his expertise in heart failure to our solution. Moving forward, Dr. Silver will be intimately involved in making our HFMgr software the most robust it can be. He’s already partnering with healthcare systems to raise awareness of HFMgr and the value it brings for all heart failure patients.”

  According to the American Heart Association, about 6.2 million adults in the United States have heart failure, costing the nation $30.7 billion each year. This total includes the cost of health care services, medications to treat heart failure, and missed days of work. WebCareHealth is working to make the care of these Americans easier, more successful and ultimately more cost effective through the development and implementation of proven software technology.

• WebCareHealth launches three new products, furthers vision of facilitating effective chronic disease management (Oct 18, 2019)

  April 4, 2019 (ANKENY) – After marked success with its first product, CoagMgr for INR testing of anticoagulation medication, WebCareHealth is fully launching a suite of new products. These products will help patients and physicians better collaborate outside of a doctor’s office and move closer to real-time evaluation and management of a variety of chronic diseases. The new products include:

  • HFMgr allows care provider(s) to remotely monitor heart failure patients’ self-submitted body weight, oxygen level, heart rate, respirations and blood pressure to gauge the heart failure patient’s status
  • HTNMgr empowers hypertension patients to monitor blood pressure levels, along with other pertinent physiological data and then digitally submit those results to their doctor(s) via a secure website or phone app
  • DiabetesMgr is a platform through which diabetics can electronically submit to physician(s) their blood sugar levels, as well as a host of other key physiological data - like heart rate and blood pressure.

  The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that four out of every 10 adults in the United States lives with two or more chronic diseases. This is the leading cause of death and disability in this country and accounts for 90 percent of the $3.3 trillion in annual healthcare expenditures.

  Dr. Teresa Sieck, CEO of WebCareHealth, explained why the healthtech company is expanding its offerings: “Health care clearly needs a better approach to manage chronic diseases. Our vision is to meet that need by collecting meaningful data and delivering it in a format that is useable by providers. We are incorporating remote data along with optimal care guidelines to drive best practices. With the launch of our three new products, doctors will have even more usable data in one place to effectively care for the large population of people with multiple chronic diseases.”

  WebCareHealth’s four software solutions remove many obstacles to effective care. Patients gain the ability to self-test for key physiological data at home and on their own timeline instead of making multiple lab or office visits. This leads to greater testing compliance. Providers gain the ability to remotely monitor patient test results – even receive automated alerts when results cause concern – and more quickly offer care advice.

  Clients of WebCareHealth are having significant successes. After implementing CoagMgr, patient populations using the solution had a reduction in incidents of stroke and major bleeds by up to 50 percent. As it relates to patient results for HFMgr, HTNMgr and DiabetesMgr, WebCareHealth continues to collect statistically significant data for publication. However, clients are casually reporting increases in patient compliance for testing and fewer hospitalizations for those with heart failure. Providers are also expressing enthusiasm over having centralized data for patients with multiple chronic diseases to make their work more insightful and efficient.
