MIRAMAR, Fla., Aug. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation (www.generex.com) (OTCQB:GNBT) today announced that the company’s wholly owned subsidiary NuGenerex Health LLC has signed a joint venture agreement with Worldwide Digitech, LLC (WWDT) to form NuGenHealth LLC. Under terms of the 50/50 JV agreement, WWDT will provide the software powered by the HealthKOS framework and back-end support for the NuGenHealth SaaS system.
The goals of NuGenHealth are to provide connected care solutions for patient engagement, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) to physicians, hospitals, and other providers of patient care, and to improve patient health outcomes at reduced costs.
New CPT Codes released by CMS in 2019 provide an incentive for physicians to offer better management of chronic conditions using Remote Patient Monitoring. The new rules make it easier for physicians and healthcare organizations to partner with health-tech companies to provide the services, software and monitoring devices required to launch a successful RPM program.
Chronic Care Management (CCM) is a service designed to pay separately for non-face-to-face care coordination services furnished to part B Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions.
NuGenHealth is an end-to-end solution that was developed by doctors to improve patient engagement, compliance and outcomes. The system provides direct savings to the physician and healthcare organizations both in time and money as well as improving patient outcomes. What makes NuGenHealth different is that it utilizes automated algorithms, real-time data, and quality metrics to involve patients in their own care, as well as keeping healthcare providers and family constantly informed. NuGenHealth allows the healthcare team to monitor patient progress outside the practice office, leading to timely interventions that prevent disease progression and unnecessary hospitalizations.
Joe Moscato, President & CEO of Generex, said, “We have evaluated a number of software systems and companies that claim to deliver the care coordination services, but the WWDT SaaS system far surpassed the others in terms of functionality, connections with electronic health record systems, real-time remote monitoring capabilities with connected health monitoring devices, protocols for RPM and CCM, and a fantastic user interface. We plan to launch the system with primary care and endocrinology clinics in Arizona to begin generating revenues as we launch the company. We are happy to be working with excellent partners in WWDT to implement the NuGenHealth system.”
Dr. Goel commented, “I am extremely glad to partner with Joe and his team. The ability to bring connected care to patients, will improve the delivery of Healthcare and improve the quality of care for patient and allow the physician to be more efficient.”
“Patient engagement and Remote Patient Monitoring have become the cornerstones of exciting new approaches to preventative, accountable health care. With the Launch of NGH, we will be able to enable provider organization to put these exciting new models of innovation into practice. I am very glad to be part of this new organization and help transform healthcare for the benefit of patients.”
“By leveraging Care Coordination teams and the NGH Platform, High Risk patients can now be actively engaged in the remote care process and monitoring on a 24x7 basis, resulting in better quality of care, reducing 30 day readmission rates, while reducing the total cost of care. It is a great privilege to be able to bring this technology to market, knowing the improvement to patient care that can be achieved.”
