Appendix I
The femom lite is a telemedicine solution, prescribed by clinicians to patients, intended for remote monitoring of physiological and non-physiological parameters. The femom lite solution is a combination of a mobile patient application and a web-based clinician portal.
The user-friendly app uses a customized clinical workflow to guide the patient through capturing measurements for multiple devices (e.g. blood pressure monitor, glucose meter, digital weight scale, etc.), answering questions regarding their condition and symptoms.
Biorithm’s unique platform enables doctors to gather the patient’s health data through a highly customizable clinical workflow or protocol, that is easily generated in a web portal by the clinical team. The web-based clinician portal can be accessed via PC or tablet and provides the clinical team with access to
• Create clinical protocol and use the branching logic to create a unique clinical workflow
• On-board patient
• View health and wellbeing data,
• Manage color code notification and alerts, based on customized thresholds
• Communicate with the patient via secure text, video.
Management of information is simple with all tasks being role and workgroup-orientated, enabling access to information to users accordingly.
