In Depth with the 2015 Digital Health 100 Real-Time Health Data Transfer from Non-Connected Devices Validic Introduces VitalSnap™, a new mobile technology that enables users to easily record health data from their in-home device via their smartphone’s camera using patent-pending technology. Validic can then deliver this data seamlessly to healthcare organisations, helping overcome connectivity barriers that limit the overall care experience. A majority of medical devices have limited or no digital connectivity, meaning information accumulates on the device and may never be sent to or viewed by a provider. This data inaccessibility makes it difficult for providers to make timely care decisions, which is especially concerning for patients suffering from chronic conditions who take consistent biometric readings and require regular clinical touch points. Leveraging optical character recognition (OCR), VitalSnap enables patients to use their smartphone to quickly capture readings from non-connected digital health devices, such as thermometers and blood pressure cuffs, from the phone’s camera without taking a picture. The information can then recorded within an application and transmitted to a providers’ electronic health record (EHR) or patient portal.
