Pharmacy systems specialists, Cegedim Rx, has partnered with Telehealth Solutions to integrate self-monitoring devices with their pharmacy systems.
Telehealth Solutions provides a self-monitoring system for patients, once interfaced with Cegedim Rx pharmacy systems, the system assists in the monitoring of patient’s medications.
Cegedim Rx will be working on a project that will bring integrated testing facilities into their pharmacy systems.
The planned functionality will be able to collect vital indicators for weight management, respiratory, thermometer, blood oxygen levels, blood pressure, ECG, blood sugar, INR tests and more.
Cegedim Rx says it plans to ensure pharmacies using their systems have all of the tools they need to perform diagnostic tests to promote healthy living and early detection of possible healthcare problems.
Simon Driver, managing director of Cegedim Rx said: ”Technology is the enabler to delivering the clinical services that pharmacists both want and the White Paper outlines, our preferred partner – Telehealth has had the vision to look to the future with the sort of technology they can provide and this matches ideally with our own company philosophy.”
Cegedim Rx says one of the most important aspects of the project will be to help pharmacy build on its strengths by evidencing the success of such tests and clinics.
John Dyson, managing director of Telehealth Solutions, said: “By joining forces with Cegedim Rx, Telehealth solutions can offer the technology to enable the essential services to the heart of the pharmacy market. With the market leading share of the systems business in the UK, Cegedim Rx is the obvious partner for our business.”
“Delivering the future is all about ensuring the results are recorded and continually improved upon, now with the ability to record them in the PMR the evidence of success will be clarified,” a spokesperson said.
