“With millions of people needing to be vaccinated, we cannot have a manual, paper process to track who received a vaccine and who experienced side effects,” said Dr. Health systems also want to monitor potential side effects, both to ensure patients get needed follow-up care and to report any side effects to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And patients need an easy way to set up vaccine appointments and get reminders to follow through on their visits. Patients want to know when they will be eligible to receive vaccines and what their experience will be like, including potential side effects. This effort begins with educating patients on the safety and efficacy of the vaccines.
Vaccine education, tracking and screeningĬonversa also is assisting health systems across the country with the challenge of vaccinating millions of patients.
“We are working closely with partners like Conversa and BioIntelliSense to navigate the ever-changing healthcare landscape and transform the way patients receive care.” Richard Zane, UCHealth chief innovation officer and professor and chair of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “Automated vaccine monitoring for our frontline healthcare workers is an important step toward scaling the program for the larger population, particularly vulnerable patient populations and seniors in long-term care environments,” said Dr. Conversa collects information from the BioButton and integrates the vital signs data with insights from a daily interactive vaccination health survey developed by Conversa.
The BioButton continuously monitors temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate at rest. UCHealth physicians, nurses and other front-line staff members wear BioIntelliSense’s BioButton medical device two days before and seven days after vaccination. Health systems leverage Conversa’s COVID-19 Health programs to educate providers and patients, and provide daily check-ins to track symptoms and monitor side effects after vaccinationsĬonversa Health, an automated virtual care and triage platform, has expanded its suite of COVID-19 programs with tools to help the vaccine effort.Ĭonversa has partnered with BioIntelliSense to monitor healthcare workers at UCHealth in Colorado before and after receiving COVID-19 vaccinations.
