Bio Conscious Technologies Launches Endobits Smart Patient Management Platform
May 11th, 2020 7:30 AM PST
Bio Conscious Technologies Inc. (“Bio Conscious”) is a company that offers Prevention-as-a-Service™ software that uses machine learning to predict and manage diseases such as diabetes. Bio Conscious is announcing the launch of its Endobits™ platform. Endobits™ is a secure web portal that provides doctors with real-time patient information and prioritizes those patients by medical risk for more effective care.
Endobits™ aggregates and interprets data from the Endobits Companion App and Diabits, two diabetes management apps for patients, available on both iPhone and Android. These apps analyze blood sugar levels, insulin doses, meals, exercise, clinical test results and more. It is compatible with continuous glucose monitors (CGM) including Dexcom Share, Freestyle Libre, MiaoMiao 2, and Nightscout.
“Maintaining control of blood sugar levels is challenging, which can put patients at risk. We are developing tools to help patients avoid them altogether by having the Endobits platform identify who, out of all patients in the queue, needs care most urgently,” said Amir Hayeri, Founder and CEO of Bio Conscious. “This all takes place automatically, without anyone having to fill out and manually upload a spreadsheet of data.”
Individuals with diabetes or other pre-existing conditions are more likely to face serious complications or death from COVID-19. The International Diabetes Federation recommends that people living with diabetes should take extra precautions to avoid the virus. Virtual care is recommended whenever possible to avoid the spread of infection.
“Remote appointments with doctors and patients are enhanced with the Endobits platform because it provides robust data collection and analysis to care providers in real time about treatment adherence as well as treatment outcomes. This makes it possible to avoid what could be unnecessary in-person appointments,” added Hayeri. “We will be implementing pilot projects with the platform throughout the U.S. this summer to demonstrate the benefits of using the Endobits platform’s AI to prioritize and triage patients compared to current tools on the market.”
Being able to effectively prioritize patients is especially important as wait times increase and fewer doctors are available. Staffing shortages in medical facilities are likely to be exacerbated by the COVID-19 epidemic; and there are already more than 7,000 areas in the U.S. with existing doctor shortages.
The patient companion apps are free, and for clinics, there is government support in the form of reimbursement. The American Medical Association has increased their support and enablement of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) by adding a number of new or amended CPT codes for use by a variety of healthcare providers. These codes provide coverage and payment in support of remote patient monitoring (RPM) services.
