Seegnal vs. Ampersand Health Suite

An intuitive real-time user interface created for use at the point of care significantly improves the prevention of Drug-Related Problems (DRPs) tailored to individual patients. DRPs rank as the fourth leading cause of mortality in the United States, resulting in around 150,000 deaths annually and comprising 6-10% of all hospital admissions. Moreover, patients who are prescribed five or more medications face over a 20% likelihood of experiencing serious DRPs, which in turn contribute to billions of dollars in avoidable healthcare expenses. Each month, nearly 4.5 million individuals in the U.S. visit emergency rooms due to complications arising from DRPs. The platform features the most extensive data integration available, offering 50% more unique information and the ability to synchronize data from multiple sources. By leveraging AI and machine learning, it delivers real-time insights customized to each patient, incorporating factors such as lab results, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), genetic profiles, dietary habits, and usage of over-the-counter drugs. With a remarkable accuracy rate of 98% for both specificity and sensitivity, it significantly reduces alert fatigue by generating only 6% of the alerts typically issued by conventional systems. Additionally, the patented visualization technology employed at the point of care facilitates the swift detection, prioritization, and resolution of issues within a rapid timeframe of just 5 to 10 seconds, ensuring that patient care is both timely and effective. This cutting-edge methodology not only reduces the risks linked to DRPs but also promotes overall healthcare efficiency, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction.

Ampersand Health launched an 8-week support program designed specifically for individuals dealing with IBD who experience chronic pain and fatigue. After the program concluded, there was a notable improvement in the average ACT survey scores among the participants (n=21, p<0.0001). This suggests that the individuals were able to cultivate a greater sense of acceptance and psychological flexibility, develop a clearer insight into their chronic symptoms, and establish a feeling of community, allowing them to recognize that a fulfilling life is possible despite ongoing pain and fatigue. Although the study did not expect to see any modifications in the physical aspects of chronic pain and fatigue, the participants reported a change in their perception of these symptoms after engaging in the program. It is worth noting that the metrics for symptoms and disease activity, measured through a validated Patient Reported Outcome Measure, remained consistent throughout the study period. This underscores the critical role of psychological support in tandem with managing physical health for those living with chronic illnesses, emphasizing that emotional well-being is just as vital as physical health. The findings highlight the need for a holistic approach to treatment, integrating both mental and physical health strategies for optimal patient outcomes.
