Tackling a worldwide health epidemic
Medtronic is working with IBM® Watson Health™ to build Sugar.IQ with Watson, a cognitive mobile personal assistant app that will provide real-time actionable glucose insights and predictions.
Overview
Our solutions are designed to help you better understand what is happening within current patient populations and actively manage future patient population needs and trends. Transform the way you deliver health and wellness by harnessing previously untapped medical data to discover more than ever thought possible. Put existing data to use with domain expertise across chronic and at-risk populations.
How it works
Population health management (PHM) requires a data-driven process enabled through technology. Our automated engagement and care management platforms help you manage the populations you serve— right down to the individual—to reduce workload and provide trackable and transparent data, enabling care teams to reach the right patient, for the right reason, at the right time.
How you benefit
This comprehensive solution portfolio derives insights from both your structured and unstructured content. In high-risk populations, it fuels improved patient care through early interventions and helps new reimbursement models for quality care meet compliance. Enable greater collaboration, efficiency, connectivity, and actionable data to enhance care coordination, and extend patient engagement capabilities to manage populations and achieve the Triple Aim to lower cost, improve quality and the patient experience.
