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.
