Remote Care Monitoring
At Woodrome Medical PA, we care about your overall health. We are excited to announce we are partnering with a company called Athelas to provide you with cutting edge care. The Athelas program will provide you with tools to monitor your vitals at home (ex. blood pressure, glucose, weight), which will be reported back to your provider and used to ensure that your course of treatment is on track, and not causing any unforeseen side effects.
Athelas will ship you personal connected health devices and train you on how to use them. Device(s) may include: blood pressure cuff, weight scale, glucose monitor or a combination of all three, as indicated by our practice. Athelas will send you a text message monthly, reminding you to test and all results will be securely sent to your provider for review. This allows us to keep an eye on your physical health, even while remote. These services are covered by insurance, and Athelas performs an eligibility check prior to enrolling.
To get started, enroll directly by following the link here: onboarding.athelas.com. You'll be asked to confirm your information as well as your shipping address. This form is in compliance with HIPAA, and your data will be protected.
We're excited to provide you the very best care available with cutting edge tools. If you have any questions about the program, you can email support@athelas.com or call (833) 524 -1318!
How the Program Works
Step 1: Patient Outreach and Sign Up
You will receive an email with an explanation of the program as well as a link to sign up. Follow those steps to get started.
If you do not see or receive this email you may receive a text message from Athelas which can send you right to sign up as well.
Finally, a member of the Athelas team or our staff will reach out to see if you are interested in signing up.
Step 2: Receiving Devices by Mail
When you have successfully completed the sign up process with Athelas they will directly ship you a blood pressure cuff to start. Included are instructions on how to use the device and if any questions arise, feel free to reach out to Athelas for assistance.
Additional devices (to check weight and blood glucose) will be sent after your first two months of being active in the program, but can also be provided sooner upon request.
Step 3: Monthly Testing and Review
Athelas will continue to reach out on a monthly basis to remind you to test your vitals, which can be submitted back directly to them (mostly coordinated through text).
The results of your test will be provided directly to your provider, who will be alerted of any abnormal results. The provider will review and follow-up on these results as indicated.
