Implantable eHealth Platform
eHealth is believed to revolutionize healthcare with more advanced treatment and smart implants
- Ability to treat diseases in a way which were previously seen as untreatable
- eHealth will save costs – reduced hospital stay and number of visits
- eHealth will bring treatment closer to the patient – patient will be involved and more in charge
The future of eHealth
While most development regarding eHealth is focused on gathering information from outside the patient’s body, Implantica’s eHealth system is designed to monitor, deliver, and handle data as well as treat illnesses from inside the body. This enables a reduced cost of care and better patient outcomes.
The Implantica eHealth Platform is a digital health system to support our pipeline of smart medical implants designed for a safe and secure control and monitoring over the internet.
It is designed to enable healthcare professionals to reduce unneeded or inefficient in-person visits by allowing the remote monitoring of long-term or chronic illness. Health information to be generated from the active implanted devices and collected patient feedback integrated with data collected from the Patient’s mobile health devices such as smart phones, watches, and digital scales are intended to be transmitted to the healthcare professional. The eHealth platform is designed to allow information to be collected from Remote Treatment Monitoring to be used by the Healthcare Professional to observe the state of the device and make treatment modifications over the internet.
Designed for remote treatment modifications and monitoring to enable more personalized care, increase treatment quality and reduce cost. Treatment information presented to the patient through their personal smartphone or other devices is intended to keep them informed and engaged in their therapy, expected to lead to better patient compliance and outcomes.
An uncompromised commitment to the cybersecurity of the devices and system is at the center of this technology. The e-InVivo Smart Implant is designed to ensure the end-to-end integrity of all health data transmitted over the internet.
With our implantable eHealth platform healthcare could dramatically change and take a large leap towards improved service and reduced costs for society. Implantica is currently developing new technology which is designed to allow healthcare to be more proactive. With early detection of diseases and easy monitoring of health parameters, we could enable earlier diagnosis and improved treatment of many conditions – including life-threatening and life-deteriorative conditions. Digitization, Wellness and Globalization are strong trends. Implantica aims to participate and potentially drive these trends from inside the body with its eHealth product, e-InVivo™.
eHealth platform – the digitilization of healthcare
The e-InVivo™ eHealth platform is a small, intelligent implanted device designed to allow early detection, easy monitoring and better treatment with the possibility to change treatment on distance – designed to save substantial costs for society.
The e-InVivo™ platform is designed to be used as a stand-alone implant or integrated with a multitude of Implantica’s other development devices and remain in use in the body for an extended period. In combination with Implantica’s wireless energising technology, the e-InVivo™ platform is designed to be charged, controlled and adjusted wirelessly through intact skin reducing or eliminating the need for additional invasive procedures.
The e-InVivo™ platform is designed to collect and process information inside the body, transfer data wirelessly to healthcare providers or to the patient through an external device, such as a smart watch or smart phone. To further leverage the value of the platform, Implantica may potentially build eHealth databases of information collected from inside the body. The data would be collected solely on the basis of informed patient consent and in full compliance with applicable data protection regulation.
These databases target to be an important tool in the development of eHealth-oriented healthcare, helping medical researchers and healthcare providers to identify treatment weaknesses and potential cost reductions.
Among other things, healthcare should be implemented closer to the patient: the treatment will come to the patient instead of as today, the patient traveling to the hospital and spending time in waiting rooms. Healthcare should be proactive, and not reactive as it is today. Although we all know that early detection is key, the healthcare sector has been incapable of providing a suitable proactive approach. Here Implantica has an important role to play.
The healthcare sector has finally awakened to the opportunities as to how eHealth could improve healthcare and lower the cost burden for society, both nationally and internationally.
The patients as well as their caregivers are expected to be able to monitor the patients’ specific health condition in real time without the patient having to visit the hospital. For example, medical data could be automatically sent via the internet to the caregiver’s analysts and their databases. Automatic responses or alarms could also be programmed. Simply put, e-InVivo could have the potential to improve health and reduce treatment costs.
Positive market development
The world is facing enormous challenges to take care of the sick and the old. Political ambitions to improve health care are pronounced. Unfortunately, resources are limited both economically and in terms of the number of practitioners. One can therefore understand that decision makers are paying more attention to preventive care – as it is the most cost effective.
The future of healthcare
eHealth will enable early detection and health changes at an early stage. The caregivers will, in an easier and more effective way, be meeting more knowledgeable patients earlier. Information, collected data and analysis are targeted to already be transferred digitally to the healthcare provider prior to the patient’s visit. To make it possible for everyone to use the e-InVivo™ solution, we are focusing our development efforts on simplifying the solution and the presentation of medical data.
The e-InVivo™ solution, i.e. a small intelligent wirelessly energized and controlled implant equipped with integrated or attached sensors to measure a multitude of health parameters, enabling easy monitoring and decision making for patients and their caregivers, with the ability to control a multltude of Smart implants.
