Summary
The Euro Health Consumer Index (EHCI) 2016 study on healthcare systems in 35 European countries has shown that gatekeeping to access specialists means increased waiting time and therefore high resource consumption, such as administrative personnel and infrastructure costs. Waiting times for specialist care are found predominately in systems requiring referral from primary care or general practice. Services such as otolaryngology, ophthalmology, dermatology may routinely be done from a patient’s location or from primary care sites to specialists to avoid waiting times and final diagnosis. Although telemedicine is an extremely attractive solution to bring healthcare closer to the patient, most of the current telemedicine technologies focus only on providing video or text communication tools. This misses a significant part of the consultation: the clinical examination and the taking of the patient history.
We at Cupris Ltd have found a unique solution to enable the remote diagnosis for hearing, ophtalmology and dermatology diseases, the management of patient conditions and the taking of patient history. CUPRIS consists of a secure communication system (app and web-platform) for healthcare consultations that enables remote clinical assessment (including examination) of patients from any location with the help of smartphone-connected medical devices. Cupris smartphone-connected devices provide enhanced functionality and security over those currently used for a much lower cost (from 60% - 550% more price competitive). Among its advantages, it will help health systems to reduce waiting lists (up to 27% of the consultations) and associated costs; and it will help the patient to receive diagnosis in a shorter timeframe (even near to real time), without being physically present with specialists. Furthermore, thanks to its artificial intelligence algorithms, it will be the only solution in the market able to perform auto-diagnosis through a smartphone-connected medical device
