Overview
Our Vision
‘To bring web
technology to the entire healthcare chain in order to accelerate the
treatment of chronic diseases, based on generally accepted treatment
protocols and using flexible software solutions that provide maximum
support for disease management throughout the chain, over and above
existing solutions.’
Our Software
VitalHealth Software started with "Vital for Diabetes",
a solution for supporting the treatment of patients suffering from
Diabetes Mellitus. In the mean time we have released two additional
solutions: Vital for COPD and Asthma, and Vital to Quit Smoking.
Solutions for other chronic diseases - such as Depression and CHF - are
currently in development and expected the be available shortly.
Patient Focused
Disease
management is most effective when the patient is actively involved in
his or her own care. To that effect, VitalHealth Software provides
patients with online access to their personal health records through a
self-management portal. Patients can actively participate in their
treatment plans, e.g. by recording their eating and lifestyle habits,
or home measurements of blood pressure, glucose, weight and other
relevant data. Apart from that, a self-management portal can contain
rich text and media for self-education. These capabilities are a
powerful motivator for patients and they give care providers a more
complete picture of a patient’s condition, enabling the patient to be
actively monitored by the system.

Healthcare Chain
Optimal care
for patients with chronic diseases requires that all relevant
participants in the entire care chain can cooperate, with access to
shared information while providing functionality specific to each
discipline. To that extent, VitalHealth solutions provide role based
views on patient data. For instance, a family physician will see a
different cross section of information compared to e.g. a specialist.
The solution provides each role with its own set of functions, views,
tasks and recommendations.
Proactive Support
The
primary goal of VitalHealth solutions is to actively support the
treatment process of chronic diseases. It provides an embedded
rules-based system for generating alerts and treatment recommendations
based on established treatment protocols. For instance, the solutions
will actively alert the care provider when registered lab results or
vitals deviate from goal values or exceed thresholds.
Integration
VitalHealth
puts a new spin on integration with existing information systems. It
turns e.g. static Hospital Information System data into actionable,
intelligent information. Data is recorded once and patients will not be
asked the same question twice. Extensive integrations with existing
systems are possible, which is an absolute must in the current IT
environment of the healthcare industry.
Flexibility
Healthcare
has become a dynamic workplace. Family physicians in group practices
are starting to focus on multi-disciplinary cooperation. Insurers are
establishing quality measures for care and require outcome reporting
for result based payments. Treatment guidelines are continuously
infused and updated with new clinical insight and expertise, increasing
quality standards and intensive research. VitalHealth solutions are
based on the latest generation of software development concepts, using
highly flexible modeling techniques that can easily adapt to the
dynamically changing healthcare environment. Examples are changing
treatment guidelines and protocols, task delegations and workflows and
reporting needs. The behavior and functionality of VitalHealth
solutions can be adjusted using modeling techniques by expert users and
do not require the expertise of traditional software programmers,
avoiding long and costly modification and customization projects.
Web-based
The
VitalHealth software is entirely web based and can be accessed from
anywhere using a web browser. The application design is such that it
behaves like any typical web based application, achieving instant
recognition by users concerning navigation and usability.
