Spinout
Challenge
• Public health systems struggle to support patients living with complex and chronic disease, often resulting in unnecessary or unplanned hospitalisation.
• Without proper support, these patients consume excessive healthcare resources and have worse outcomes. In the most extreme cases, it leads to death in areas that could be avoided, such as heart failure.
Solution
Apostele’ s platform, TeleClinical Care( TCC), provides at-home support for patients who require neonatal intensive care or those with heart failure, gestational diabetes, and other chronic conditions. Patients interact with TCC through their phone or tablet, and TCC connects to peripheral devices to record blood pressure, pulse oximetry, weight, and other metrics, which are sent to clinicians in a Central Monitoring Centre( CMS). The
CMS can then prioritise patients who need clinical review or intervention, improving outcomes and preventing unnecessary returns to hospital.
