The platform is equipped with technology that indicates to health providers if their patients are adhering to their plans, and further allows them to deliver treatment tasks based on the individual needs of their patient. These tasks are given in small increments so as to not overwhelm the patient with a complex long term plan.

The Altus Care Team
Trained physicians, the founding executives of Area9 have a deep knowledge about brain science and experience from more than 20 years of research in human factors and adaptive learning. Consequently, they have profound respect for the complexity of individual differences in how people learn and behave.
Patient adherence is better understood through this lens, which allows for an approach to health care that is customized to each individual. There is no a “one size fits all” solution to achieving good health. Altus Care, a new project under Area9 Innovation, acts on this insight to maintain health in an improved, convenient and effective way.
The Platform
Altus is a Latin word meaning “high, deep, noble or profound” which we use because Altus Care provides the highest standard of care to patients.

1. Profound Care

2. Pioneering Precision Compliance
Precision Compliance is a new concept in medical care management that brings the right evidence-based instructions and the right care to the patient at the right time. It enlists the patient as an equal partner in their healthcare management, and empowers them to be able to follow the recommendation of their healthcare provider, even in a rapidly changing or complex environment. Altus Care allows for health providers to proactively track their patient’s condition, and identifies markers signaling an impending problem. The word precision is used because we pinpoint these markers and have ample resources to address them before it affects the patient’s health.

3. Active Engagement
Altus Care prides itself in providing outcome driven care using an active engagement system, combining the power of technology with the care of health providers. It has been proven that active interaction with patients – that is, asking questions, getting input, having them be a part of their own healthcare – not only accelerates the healing process but also makes it more effective and reduces patient anxiety. Hence it is crucial for patients to mutually set their healthcare goals with their providers. This helps lead to behaviour change, which is how Altus Care helps patients reach their outcomes.

4. How Do We Manage Symptoms?
Altus Care enhances the one-on-one interaction between patient and health provider with accessible features such as chats and video demos of exercises. Altus Care tracks symptoms through a series of questions and alerts when the patient is at risk of treatment failure, early relapse or hospital admission. That’s when Altus or the health provider sends push notifications as reminders to stay on top of your recovery and provides truly personalized follow-up. It provides proactive management of the patient’s condition wherever they are, without losing the compassionate touch of a caregiver.
Is This For You?
Use Altus Care to identify individual patients in need of earlier intervention or other preventive measures to improve patient care and resource utilization.
Patients
Personalized health care right at your fingertips
Too often patients do not have a way to communicate with their providers outside of their office. Altus Care is downloaded directly onto the patient’s smartphone so they can communicate with their provider at their convenience. If the patient is doing better or worse than anticipated, the provider is able to modify the care plan to suit the individual needs of their patient. Fully equipped with medication logs and an easy to follow schedule, Altus Care enables the patient to have a holistic recovery from the comfort of their own home.
Care Providers
Altus Care enables you to know when a patient is at risk of failure - by not adhering to a plan, being on the brink of readmission, or hospitalization. It is possible to measure if treatment plans are improving, stabilizing, or worsening a patient’s health status, and make appropriate modifications based on this information. A unique feature is the ability to identify small daily windows of opportunity when the chance to influence patient compliance is highest. While Altus Care is not eliminating face to face interaction with your patient, it allows for their visits to be less frequent and more efficient, optimizing the recovery of the patient in a convenient way.
Payers
Altus Care is a platform that drives better patient outcomes. The recovery process of each individual is expedited, lowering costs and increasing patient satisfaction with improved quality of life. This platform aims to reduce healthcare costs by identifying and addressing the reasons for avoidable hospital readmission through disease management and outcome optimization. Altus Care is designed to avoid patient non-compliance with treatment plans that you are paying for.
Corporations
Pharmaceutical and Medical Tech companies can partner with health organizations to simultaneously support their missions, health systems and societies: to get most out of every dollar spent on healthcare. It is known that lifestyle changes benefit everyone. With Altus Care’s capacity to track adherence to medication regimes, we are enhancing the recovery experience for the patient whilst lowering costs for you.
