Since we founded altr, we’ve had the privilege of working with some true healthcare innovators. From Twine Health’s collaborative care platform to Breas-HDM’s Internet of Things in-home ventilators and CPAP devices, these are solutions that can improve outcomes and quality of life, while placing less economic strain on the entire system.

We’re optimistic about the future of healthcare because we continue to see advances that benefit everyone – and that’s not marketing, that’s intelligent innovation.

The latest proof is QMedic, a client whose new site just launched this week.

We all remember the old days of personal emergency response monitoring: LifeAlert’s “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” ads that promised an emergency response at the touch of a button. What you might not realize is that very little has changed in that market over the past 30 years – a wearable emergency button is still a pretty powerful tool in helping elderly or at risk populations live more independent lives at home.

QMedic has built upon the old emergency button, making a good idea revolutionary by connecting it to an always on, 24/7 intelligent routing platform that helps deliver the right service to the right people at the right time. Most health issues at home don’t need an ambulance to manage, and many can be prevented through proactive responses to in-home distress signals and behavioral anomalies. The QMedic service helps care networks identify these anomalies early to enable them to address potential issues before they become more serious. And if emergencies do occur, the QMedic service routes alerts and calls to ensure that patients receive the most efficient and effective care.

With QMedic, better connections and deeper intelligence are leading to better care – they are one more company who is working to make healthcare work better and we are honored to have worked with them.
