ThingWorx, a PTC® (Nasdaq: PTC) business and leading Internet of Things
(IoT) platform provider, announced today that ICURO, a consumer-centric
care outcomes research and digital health management organization, has
selected the ThingWorx® IoT Platform to power its intelligent care
models by delivering personalized, actionable health information to
consumers in order to promote sustainable healthy habits.
According to a McKinsey & Company report “The big data revolution in
healthcare: Accelerating value and innovation,” the era of open
information in healthcare has begun. This means that industry payors and
providers are beginning to analyze data in order to obtain insights that
could identify patterns which could improve treatments and deliver
personalized health care information for better lifestyle choices.
ICURO is using the ThingWorx IoT Platform to launch its digital hub for
consumer-centric care. It enables ICURO to connect all stakeholders in
the new consumer-centric ecosystem consisting of providers, payors,
employers, pharmaceuticals, and medical device companies with an
integrated care delivery platform. The real time data collection and
intelligent analysis of data allow consumers and providers to focus on
health outcomes and enable personalized care management pathways.
“ICURO is a good example of how IoT technology can improve communication
between health care organizations and consumers to enable better health
management and more effective treatments,” said Russ Fadel, president,
ThingWorx. “The ThingWorx platform will enable ICURO to simplify and
speed its development, reducing the time it takes ICURO to deploy
secured healthcare solutions to market.”
Using ThingWorx, ICURO is able to offer consumer and provider-centric
dashboards that deliver personalized data that is more meaningful and
actionable to the consumer.
“ICURO’s mission is to improve health care access at much lower costs
while providing the quality of care and convenience that consumers have
come to expect in every other aspect of their digital lives,” said Bipin
Thomas, president, ICURO. “Using the ThingWorx platform we are able to
securely and efficiently collect and interpret data from multiple
medical devices such as blood pressure monitors, glucometers and cardiac
measurement devices that can offer real time care interventions and
personalized healthcare management.”
