About BL Healthcare
BL Healthcare, based in Foxboro, Massachusetts, is a leading provider of
next generation remote health management solutions to the Healthcare Industry.
Leveraging the convergence of the Internet, Broadband technology, and Open Systems,
BL Heatlhcare provides innovative solutions for linking patients, providers,
and caregivers for the monitoring and management of wellness and disease states
at distributed points of healthcare access, particularly in the patient’s home.
BL’s family of products, built on lessons learned from the pioneering “telemedicine”
companies, are based on the following:
- Embracing Open Systems by removing the need for a PC or Windows. A BL
Healthcare solution does not include a hard drive with moving parts requiring
a great deal of maintenance. The system is essentially “crash proof”.
- Incorporating traditional telemedicine monitoring functionality as a
minimal entry point. This functionality, however, is implemented in a more
flexible, efficient, and easy to use manner.
- In addition to vital sign monitoring, BL Healthcare provides multiple
types of advanced functionality in an integrated fashion. Streaming video/audio
movies and presentations, instant messaging, videoconferencing, patient
care management, and education and training videos enable eHealth programs
that dramatically expand the opportunity to realize value for both the patient
and provider
- Providing real-time communication, monitoring and alerts. BL Healthcare
products are based on real-time communication and interaction of patients,
nurses, doctors, and other various caregivers.
- Providing flexible tools to enable rapid development of care management
treatments, processes and programs. BL provides tools for the configuration
of care pathways, patient questions and answers, alerts and reminders that
can be shared across the organization and customized down to the individual
condition and patient.
- Empowering the patient and focusing on the needs of the patient with
an emphasis on ease-of-use. BL Healthcare provides a flexible, easy to use
patient interface driven by a touch screen or remote control that requires
no experience in the use of a personal computer or other devices that some
patients might view as “complicated”.
- The need for scalability and extensibility. The modern architecture
makes it easy to add patients and deploy the products in volume without
requiring downtime or costly upgrades.
- Providing a vehicle for true collaboration among multiple patients,
care givers, providers, and family members. The system provides multiple
vehicles for collaboration, allowing family members to participate in the
monitoring and care of loved ones.
- Providing an easy, open way to seamlessly integrate to existing EMR
solutions, enabling the creation of innovative new applications that leverage
real-time data from the patient along with patient history, to deliver higher
quality care.
