Innovation Challenge: Remote Patient Monitoring for Safety-Net Populations

Oct 6, 2020 | Posted by Industry News | Celebrations - Awareness, Health Innovation |

Now Accepting Applications for a Virtual Showcase with Innovative Safety-Net Providers and Payors

The California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) (@CHCFNews) Health Innovation Fund, Acumen America, and Health Equity Ventures, in partnership with Adaptation Health (@AH_Innovation), have announced the Remote Patient Monitoring Innovation Challenge. This virtual program will showcase companies whose technology solutions make scalable, effective, and culturally responsive remote patient monitoring (RPM) possible for health care organizations serving the safety net. Companies with solutions addressing any of the conditions listed below, and experience serving the safety net, have until October 23 to apply.

The Challenge will identify promising technology solutions that enable primary care providers to effectively monitor vital health data for Medicaid and other safety-net patient populations. The culminating showcase will give selected companies the opportunity to share their solutions with a national audience of safety-net leaders and potential customers, including providers, policymakers, and payors.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has really emphasized the importance of having technologies available that can keep patients connected to the care they need, regardless of their income, internet access, language preferences, or other differences,” said Ella Schwartz, senior program investment officer for the CHCF Health Innovation Fund. “Remote monitoring is an essential one of those technologies and we look forward to surfacing RPM companies with the capabilities and commitment required to meet the unique needs of the safety net.”

To qualify for the showcase, companies’ solutions must support RPM in at least one of the following focus areas, which were identified in collaboration with safety-net leaders, providers, health care foundations, and early-stage investors:

  1. Cardiometabolic Conditions – focusing on diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure
  2. Behavioral Health – monitoring key metrics related to associated conditions
  3. Other Conditions – not included above but relevant to patient care within primary care, safety-net settings

The application is now open and the deadline to apply is October 23, 2020. The final showcase will be held on November 18 and safety-net stakeholders are encouraged to RSVP. More information on the Challenge can be found here.
