New Parks Associates research reveals that one in seven U.S. broadband households are interested in a remote health monitoring solution, offered by a hospital/physician group, and receiving reminders from them about how to manage chronic health conditions. The international research firm will address patient engagement at the third-annual Connected Health Summit: Engaging Consumers, August 30 – September 1 in San Diego.

Bright.md’s SmartExam is a virtual physician assistant that helps primary care groups automate up to 90% of provider time spent on low-acuity conditions, such as coughs, colds, and ear aches.

This occurs through online exams that are conveniently accessible from a patient’s computer or mobile device. The efficiencies gained from this approach expand capacity at a primary care medical group by up to 30%, reduce incremental visit costs by 80%, and grow primary care margins by up to 300%.

Through SmartExam, all of this happens without the patient ever having to come in to the doctor’s office.
