PAVmed and OSUCCC Begin Commercial Phase of Strategic Partnership
PAVmed Inc., recognized as a pioneering medical technology company, has announced a pivotal development in its partnership with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. This alliance, which aims to revolutionize cancer treatment, has now entered its commercial phase, marking a significant milestone in advancing personalized cancer care through innovative technology.
A Commitment to Personalized Cancer Care
Brian deGuzman, M.D., Chief Operating Officer of Veris Health, PAVmed’s majority-owned subsidiary, emphasized the importance of this partnership in enhancing personalized cancer care. By collaborating with OSUCCC, one of the nation’s leading academic cancer centers, the organizations aim to deploy the Veris Cancer Care Platform to facilitate better healthcare outcomes for patients undergoing systemic cancer therapies. Dr. deGuzman noted, "This represents an important milestone on the path towards reaching Veris' long-term commercial potential."
The Veris Cancer Care Platform Explained
At the core of this initiative is the Veris Cancer Care Platform, a comprehensive digital solution designed for cancer patients. It incorporates remote physiological data collection, symptom reporting, and telehealth capabilities, all integrated into electronic health records. This platform is focused on fostering early detection of complications, minimizing unplanned hospital visits, and providing a seamless connection between patients and their healthcare teams.
Patients enrolled in this program will receive a VerisBox™, which contains connected healthcare devices that communicate physiological data to healthcare providers via a secure cloud-based portal. This system not only allows for real-time monitoring but also enhances patient involvement in their healthcare journey through an app. The app permits patients to report symptoms and share health updates with their cancer care team, while also enabling family members or caretakers to participate in the care process.
Expanding Capabilities: The Implantable Physiological Monitor
Looking towards the future, Veris Health is in the process of developing an implantable physiological monitor. This innovative device is expected to be implanted alongside vascular access ports and will function synergistically with the Veris Cancer Care Platform, creating an even more comprehensive solution for tracking patient health. By providing continuous physiological data, the monitor will eliminate dependence on patient compliance, ensuring that critical health information reaches healthcare professionals in real time.
