Home-based healthcare solutions provider Vesta Healthcare and Medical Guardian have partnered to improve chronic care management and remote patient monitoring (RPM) for Medicaid and Medicare members.  

The collaboration combines Medical Guardian’s cellular-connected vitals monitoring devices and personal emergency response systems (PERS) with Vesta Healthcare’s 24/7 clinical oversight support.   

It will enhance member well-being, reduce hospitalisations, and proactive, easy-to-use health monitoring at home.

Vesta Healthcare’s clinicians use Medical Guardian’s devices to monitor key health data, such as blood pressure, weight, oxygen levels, and fall detection and provide emergency response.

Members receive automated reminders for readings, with data sent directly to Vesta’s clinical team without needing any apps or manual inputs, making health management both easy and effective.

This integration of RPM and PERS ensures a continuous, proactive care experience, keeping members connected and informed.

Vesta Healthcare CEO Randy Klien said: “By combining our expertise, we are excited to take this next step in revolutionising how care is provided and monitored at home.

“This partnership will empower patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers with better tools, data, and resources, leading to more informed and efficient care decisions.”

Other key benefits include enhanced member engagement by providing easy-to-use devices and automated reminders, allowing members to track and share their health data. This improves adherence to care plans and offers valuable health insights.

According to Vesta Healthcare, the integration of PERS and RPM enables real-time monitoring and immediate support, helping healthcare teams address health risks promptly.  

Continuous RPM data provides a comprehensive view of each member’s health, allowing Vesta’s clinical team to identify trends, intervene early, and prevent potential complications.

This collaborative approach strengthens the relationship between healthcare providers, caregivers, and patients, ensuring personalised, proactive care for every member.

Medical Guardian chief commercial officer Alex Prough said: “Together, we’re providing a simple, powerful way to reduce risks and hospitalisations while enhancing member well-being with devices and services to support proactive monitoring 24/7.”

The home-based healthcare solutions provider said this latest collaboration is based on both firm’s shared commitment to advancing care standards through a proactive, connected approach to health management.

By combining new technology and clinical expertise, they aim to help members maintain independence and well-being at home, providing accessible and quality care.

The collaboration follows Vesta Healthcare’s successful closing of $65m in a Series C round in September this year.
