Hippo Virtual Care is a smart wearable that enables the delivery of speciality care anytime, anywhere. It features an assisted reality platform that is scalable and affordable for post-acute care in healthcare facilities.  

What is Post-Acute Care?

Post-acute care refers to palliative care and medical services provided to patients who have been discharged from an acute care facility but still need care to recover. The primary goal of acute care organizations is to help patients regain their strength and health after an illness, injury, accident or surgery.

Benefits of Smart Wearables in the Healthcare Sector

Data-Driven Decisions

One of the major advantages of deploying smart wearables in the healthcare sector is the ability to make informed decisions based on data insights. A wearable device allows healthcare professionals to gather data on the patient’s vitals, such as heart rate, blood sugar and blood pressure, and activity levels. The information is used to diagnose and prepare tailored healthcare plans for each patient.

Healthcare Cost Optimization

The deployment of wearable technology significantly reduces healthcare costs. These compact devices allow clinicians to treat patients and advise on post-acute care anywhere, anytime, by keeping track of their health and well-being in real-time. The proactive approach eliminates the unnecessary need for travel and expensive visits.
