Having 'premiered' our technology in the medical monitoring industry, we needed a medical technical organization to be responsible for the servicing of the high end medical testing units being deployed in our Field Trial. We worked with Medi-Home Individualized Monitoring Systems Corp. (MHIMS) who helped design the Trial and then implemented the ecosystem of devices to be utilized by the patients to provide meaningful and timely information to their caregivers in real time.
We established our initial Pilot Program installation with the Heritage Provider Network (HPN) Regal /Lakeside Medical Group, under the auspices of Dr. Terry Olson. HPN is a large full risk, capitated medical group located in Southern California. Under the terms of the Trial they completed a 90 day and more recently a 120 day Pilot Study to determine, 'if high cost patients, not well managed in traditional care coordination programs and traditional healthcare delivery systems, can decrease cost of care and improve patient satisfaction, through remote telemonitoring using the CYTTA Connect Ecosystem and an intense case management process.'
Patient satisfaction and costs reductions were then measured. MHIMS provided assistance and advice in conjunction with Dr. Terry Olson's team. Cytta is delighted with the results MHIMS and Dr. Olson have achieved with our technology in the medical monitoring field. Their results are set out in the 6 month Pilot Study Whitepaper by Dr. Olson titled "Biometric remote telemonitoring to produce a healthy return on investment, decrease resource utilization, and improve care coordination" is attached as Appendix A. Also available on request is our Cytta Technical Whitepaper summarizing the technical aspects of the Trial.
Excerpts from Dr. Olson's Independent Report summarize the Cytta Technology Pilot Program as follows,
"This trial demonstrated the ability to significantly reduce costs for high risk patients through use of the CYTTA Connect Ecosystem. The trial demonstrated the ability to quickly achieve cost savings, decrease resource utilization, improve care coordination, and increase adherence to evidence based guidelines."
"Care costs were reduced on average by $11,078 for each trial participant through the trial [or $1,846 per member per month]. This trial did not specifically address long term cost of care. However, these patients were selected for the inabilities of the existing healthcare system and care coordination programs to cost effectively address their short or long term healthcare needs. One trial participant noted he realized more value and benefit in 2 months of trial participation compared to his previous 17 months of participation in the best available care coordination services."
"This trial discovered patients view CYTTA Connect and remote telemonitoring as a special benefit to patients who are encouraged to retain their relationship with Heritage to continue to access and build their personal health database. Patients develop a special relationship with their care coordination team. The patients viewed CYTTA Connect and care coordination activities as a value rather than an intrusion because information and advice generated by the trial were specific to the patient and time sensitive."
"When compared to other remote telemonitoring services available, the CYTTA Connect Ecosystem is clearly the most cost effective, patient friendly system available."
We have designed, built and completed a new technological product that will improve many lives and will vastly improve the way healthcare and any other data is transmitted and utilized. Accordingly, we have determined to be a facilitator of our services to anyone wishing to move data in a new and hitherto unavailable manner. We want to partner and will license any organization that can improve their model with our technology.
