Small Business

The healthcare industry is currently experiencing its fair share of challenges including high-cost coverage, a nursing shortage, and a society full of non-compliant patients. Kent Dicks, president and CEO of MedApps, Inc., sees solutions to problems like these in the technology available today. MedApps utilizes advancements in cellular and wireless technology to produce a mobile wireless health monitoring system capable of examining and keeping tabs on patients’ health from a distance.

How does this device help with the problems we see in healthcare? “Previously, the only form of remote health monitoring was very costly,” explained Kent, “and because of the high cost, only chronically ill patients could receive it.” Now, by employing Telemedicine 2.0 technology, MedApps helps the existing healthcare system connect to more patients at a significantly reduced cost, while also serving to remind patients of important daily activities like taking vitamins and exercising. This motivational component also serves as a prevention technique that can ultimately result in even more savings.

Aside from being cost-effective, MedApps services can handle nearly 70% of calls that are currently tying up precious nurse resources, routing the most urgent needs to live calls and allowing the MedApps system to address less vital symptoms and requests.

Kent recognizes the needs of the healthcare industry, and with MedApps uses his extensive background in technology to present viable solutions to an industry truly in need of his innovation.
