Surgical programs can now virtually support patients at home before and after surgery

June 21, 2021 – Delaware County, PA – Crozer Health is now virtually supporting patients with , a digital patient engagement platform, keeping patients safe, connected, and less likely to be readmitted. Crozer Health is the first health system in Pennsylvania to implement ������ý to advance its Thoracic Surgery program and the first in the nation to digitally support patients undergoing robotic bronchoscopy procedures.

With ������ý, patients undergoing thoracic procedures at Crozer Health’s Delaware County Memorial Hospital are guided before and after their procedure with personalized education, progress-tracking, and post-op symptom monitoring using their own devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet, computer). Upon discharge from the hospital, patients using ������ý can self-report data such as compliance, pain scores, symptoms, and share photos of their surgical wounds through the platform remotely. The Crozer Health care team can use this data to provide patients with personalized care recommendations and can intervene faster, remotely, if necessary.

In 2020, Crozer Health implemented an innovative robotic bronchoscopy program, which has been integral in enabling more accurate lung cancer diagnoses and treatments. ������ý further advances this innovation by providing patients with a virtual companion that guides and supports them through their procedure.

“Crozer Health is a leader in leveraging innovative technological solutions to enhance patient outcomes,” shares Dr. Joseph D. Whitlark, M.D., Thoracic Robotic Surgeon. “With ������ý, we are able to more efficiently keep patients on track using the self-reporting metrics, deliver personalized patient education, and track patient-reported outcomes throughout their journey.”

“������ý is an intuitive platform for patients that allows Crozer Health to deliver safe, more remote care in light of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Matt Shelak, President of Delaware County Memorial Hospital. “������ý is allowing our team to empower patients, extends our innovation, and supports a shorter patient length. We are excited to partner with ������ý to provide an exceptional patient experience for our patients.”

“Crozer Health is a leader in innovation dedicated to providing exceptional patient care,” says Dr. Joshua Liu, CEO at ������ý. “We are thrilled to support such a forward-thinking organization as it continues protecting the health and well-being of patients and the community across its vast network.”
