VyTrac provides an easily accessible encrypted health technology platform that enables people to be engaged and participate in their health management. The smartphone-enabled technology supports the move toward reduction in hospital readmissions through daily monitoring and early intervention, using interactive messaging between health professionals and their patients. The VyTrac system also offers multi-language, disease-specific education. Healthier patients result in reduced private and public payer costs and can lessen health professional burnout.
“VyTrac leadership is engaged on community and state-wide levels to address some of the pressing challenges facing our health system – engaging people with urgent health needs who too often lack access to healthcare professionals,” said Bashe. “Technology geared to improve human health is only meaningful if people have ready access and feel confident in its privacy. Health providers should also recognize that the digital health connection is best when it unites health professionals’ desire to help with their patients’ need to be healed.”
VyTrac sought Bashe’s participation owing to his commitment to support engaging patients in participating in their care by emphasizing the importance of digital health, health information and connective RPM technologies that make intervention possible on a real-time basis. Bashe’s belief that technology will never replace health professionals direct patient care connection; however, will make them more relevant to their patients aligned with the VyTrac vision of empowered care.
