Remote Patient Monitoring Transforms Virtual Care for US Healthcare Providers
Cognizant, in partnership with Microsoft, delivered a virtual healthcare solution hosted on Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare focused on remote patient monitoring in the US. This solution utilizes connected devices such as smart watches, blood pressure monitors, and glucose meters to continuously collect patient vital signs and securely share them with healthcare providers. With built-in analytics powered by Azure, historical health data is tracked for early detection of chronic diseases. Patients benefit from telehealth visits, ensuring access to timely and personalized care, while providers can leverage improved data interoperability and reliable Azure cloud infrastructure. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), robust APIs, and Teams integration further enhance scalability and provider collaboration. This offering is part of a broader strategy to transform digital healthcare and is the first of several planned virtual care advancements by Cognizant using Microsoft technology.
