Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters

Using ClickMedix’s suite of risk assessment programs, health coaches and non-medically trained care givers are able to detect health risk symptoms (i.e. congestive heart failure, post-hospital rehab) to eliminate the need to visit ERs.

Vetted Performance Status

While not specific to this product, a study conducted in Uganda and Guatemala found that smartphone-based systems for teledermatology consultation using a medical student proxy are feasible for delivery of care in the developing world at relatively little cost. Physicians consulting with patients can consult with 4-10 times more patients. Patients receive specialist consultation in less than 3 days.
