Description:
With the day of the doctor’s “house” call having passed from the scene many decades ago is there a way that a cellphone can provide some of the essential services that house calls used to represent? Can patients be empowered by using their cellphones to fill a gap in the healthcare industry? How important is real-time management to case management and improving prevention and treatment? BeWell Mobile Technology, founded in 2004, has addressed these questions directly. BeWell provides patient engagement software for the healthcare industry and medical research community. BeWell software leverages the ubiquity of cellphones, wireless data networks and the Internet to collect valid data and to help patients manage their health. By incorporating self monitoring, via cellphones, BeWell is demonstrating the impact of patient engagement and the importance of remote patient monitoring. Asthma and diabetes are two of the most significant conditions being addressed by BeWell currently. BeWell provides a technology platform, combining flexibility, real-time availability and cost-effectiveness. By employing mobile phones, BeWell collects patient data “anytime, anywhere” so that healthcare providers can track a patient’s progress and determine if personal intervention is required. At the same time, patients have access to personalized information that helps them stay on track with their regimen. And all without having to rely on paper logbooks and diaries. Based in San Francisco, BeWell has created a Management Team comprised of software, healthcare and telecommunications industry leaders and innovators who have helped develop, build and implement technology for companies including Apple, AT&T, Cingular, Qualcomm, Siebel Systems and Verizon. The BeWell team understands that an overriding concern of healthcare professionals is the dilemma of “patient engagement.” The question being asked by the industry is “How do we effectively involve patients with doctors, nurses and others involved with health management?” More than simply transmitting data between provider and patient, BeWell has created proprietary applications that takes advantage of the increasing availability and power of cellphones as the core communications device across nearly all population demographics.

We create opportunities for truly wellness-based, intergenerational living by bringing state-of-the-art wellness, fitness, and health resources into the built environment through our actual and virtual wellness hubs(sm). BluePond clients include forward-looking residential and commercial developers, healthcare systems, employers, universities, and municipalities seeking to deliver superior customer experiences by incorporating healthy living and prevention as a lifestyle into their projects. Projects span a broad range from mixed use to master planned communities to "intentional communities" promoting aging-in-place. Much of the work's focus is multigenerational and seeks to leverage sustainable and universal design. BluePond was formed with a strong appreciation for the growing "mature adult" demographic both U.S. and worldwide and our commitment to helping improve daily quality of life for the many individuals - young and older - living with chronic problems or age-related conditions (e.g., obesity, diabetes, asthma, arthritis). Recent clinical, scientific, and technology gains offer new paths for enhancing wellness at various stages of life and consumer demand continues to skyrocket. BluePond recognizes the chance to introduce these resources and promote their adoption by carefully customizing and seamlessly integrating both hands-on and health technology resources in a variety of settings. BluePond's model centers around the design and implementation of its unique "wellness hub(sm)."

Through early involvement, BluePond ensures that clients derive maximal synergies among core project components and the best use of related resources (e.g., green spaces and trails). Where construction is not an option, BluePond's wellness hub is optimally suited for virtual design and access for the target audience as well for projects considering retrofitting or renovation of existing structures.

Sophia’s Garden

Company Type: Community

Description:
A healing community develops when healthcare providers and other caregivers connect as human beings rather than roles, and engage in real conversations about things that matter. When this happens, the walls between professional and the human being come down. As a consequence, everyone’s contributions are honored and valued. And when that happens, the group of disparate caregivers—family, friends, healthcare practitioners, insurance provider, related social service and public agencies, spiritual advisors and the surrounding community—begins to organize into an optimally functioning system of care. Responsibility is shared and communication flows, which spurs creative solutions to arise more spontaneously.
