Cognizant's new solution, leveraging components of the Microsoft
Cloud for Healthcare, is the first of several planned offerings
that combine remote patient monitoring and virtual health,
utilizing products like smart watches, blood pressure monitors, and
glucose meters to collect and communicate patient health data to
providers. Built-in analytics allow providers to cross-reference
historical health information to gain patient insights and
potentially identify early warning signs of chronic conditions so
preventative measures can be taken. Additionally, the solution's
remote capabilities enable telehealth visits, which continue to be
a valuable option to mitigate barriers of care for patients with
accessibility constraints, as well as implement time-sensitive
interventions and improve personalized care. With chronic diseases
expected to account for 70% of global deaths by 2030, advancements
in digital integration are quickly becoming recognized as an
optimal approach to preventing, managing, and treating
disease.*
As an early Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare partner, Cognizant
has designed a solution that leverages Microsoft Azure services
including FHIR, API Services, and Teams integration to improve
scalability and reliability. This digital healthcare endeavor is
backed by Cognizant's dedicated Microsoft Business Group, bringing
together Cognizant's digital modernization expertise with
Microsoft's focus on building Industry Clouds to deliver a
commercially available, comprehensive, healthcare solution.
This new offering is the first in a series of digital healthcare
solutions from Cognizant as the company accelerates its client
offerings aimed at implementing advanced healthcare technology to
increase patient engagement, enhance personalized care, provide
remote patient monitoring, and facilitate improved patient
outcomes. Future offerings will build upon existing solution
capabilities to help clients expedite implementation.
"The bridging of technology and healthcare is creating new
opportunities to improve how providers monitor the health of their
patients and engage with them for time-sensitive interventions,"
said Surya Gummadi, Head of Cognizant Healthcare. "Utilizing data
analytics, secure cloud technology and interoperability products,
our collaboration with Microsoft offers a unique, scalable solution
that aims to connect providers and patients, and enhances the
quality, timeliness, and personalization of healthcare."
"Cognizant's new virtual healthcare solution utilizes
differentiated capabilities, built on the secure and compliant
Microsoft Cloud, that make it easy for people to collect and share
health data using their own devices, while ensuring that providers
have the data and insights they need to diagnose and treat
patients," said Tom McGuinness,
Corporate Vice President, Global Healthcare and Life Sciences,
Microsoft. "We look forward to combining our technologies and
collective expertise to deliver additional solutions that offer
high quality healthcare and enable patient well-being."
