Logan chats with Eran Ofir, co-founder and  CEO of Somatix, about how remote patient monitoring has taken on incredible significance during  the COVID-19 pandemic and the current health care environment.  Somatix, which provides a wearable-enabled remote patient monitoring software platform for health care providers and caregivers, uses patented gesture detection technology and machine learning algorithms to analyze patient data in real time. This provides insights and predictive analytics to caretakers and medical providers in a variety of settings, including independent assistant living facilities, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Under the Somatix solution, providers are “able to determine ADL (activites of daily living) that include whether the patient is walking, sleeping, falling, smoking, or eating,” Ofir explains. Based on this data, providers can intervene in real time based on what’s happenign with the patient. The wearable band also can  collect and process five different kinds of events; alerts, reminders, notifications, insights, and predictive analytics, which can then be shared through a dashboard that notifies caregivers. The technology is so detailed, Ofir says,  that providers  are able to determine if the patient is adhering to their medication regimen and if they are staying hydrated, to the point that they can deterine if the patient is drinking a hot or cold beverage. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Somatix became extremely effective in reducing hospital readmissions, ensuring reimbursement from Medicare and insurance companies and providing caregivers importantly with the ability to monitor and treat patients from a distance. “ They don’t have to be near them in order to see what’s happening with them,” Ofir states. The system also helps providers prepare for a possible second surge of  COVID-19 cases in the next 12 months, Somatix will start working with nationwide providers and big-name facilities.

Remote Patient Monitoring with Eran Ofir of Somatix 

As the pandemic continues, we’re finding out, more and more, how deep the roots of disruption from shelter-in-place orders and the upheaval of the national (and international) marketplace go. Innovators are now struggling to ask the hard questions: When do I scale back? When do I scale up? How can I ensure my company survives this turbulent and unpredictable market? All valid concerns and, unfortunately, there are no one-size-fits all answers. But what if you could pick the brain of an innovator whose company is poised to not only weather the disruption, but hit the ground running once it all quiets down to a “new normal?” What if you could access his decades of innovation experience in fields that cross the service continuum, including telecommunications and healthcare? You would. And you can. On this week’s episode, we have Eran Sofir, an innovation powerhouse who brings his experience in telecommunications, utilities, retail, and healthcare innovation. He speaks openly and candidly about current market conditions, while also offering his take on what the future might hold.  Here are the show highlights:  The counterintuitive secret that the smartest investors don’t want you to know about investing (9:46)  How the pandemic has forced healthcare providers to finally take telehealth seriously (15:07)  Why smaller nursing home facilities gain a bigger advantage from telehealth than larger facilities (15:43)  How the pandemic will shift the financial trends in healthcare more than anything else in the last decade (17:21)  The biggest advantage healthcare innovators have right now thanks to the pandemic (18:15)  Here’s how to ease the adoption for your innovation after the crisis ends (26:08) The biggest opportunity you have right now that sets you up for easy sales when the crisis ends (31:34)  Why customer feedback is even more important today than before the pandemic hit (39:26)  The trick for hiring the top experts for product development without blowing through your burn rate (40:24) How to create a loyal and rabid following in the midst of the pandemic (42:04)   I've spoken with dozens of health innovators, and nearly everyone is trying to figure out their best pivot strategy. But they don't know what to change, how to pivot, or if their new pivot strategy is the right move. So I went into overdrive putting together a clear, actionable 5-step worksheet that will help you quickly define your most viable and profitable pivot path through the COVID crisis. And I’m giving it to you for FREE — no strings attached at https://www.Legacy-DNA.com/Pivot Guest Bio Eran Ofir is the CEO and Founder of Somatix, a provider of wearable-enabled RPM (remote patient monitoring) software for healthcare.
