Quest Health has reported significant improvements in diabetes management through its Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) programme, developed in collaboration with Rimidi.
Over two months, the partnership achieved an 11% reduction in average blood glucose levels, confirming the effectiveness of remote monitoring in enhancing patient outcomes.
Quest Health, a leader in diabetes care and medical device provision, leverages Rimidi’s digital health platform to integrate with its athenahealth EHR system.
The integration enables effective patient management using cellular-enabled Blood Glucose Monitors and Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), along with risk stratification and customised alerts.
The early patient cohort using connected Blood Glucose Monitors experienced an 11% decrease in average glucose levels, dropping from 176 mg/dL to 157.5 mg/dL.
Morning glucose readings saw a 16% reduction, moving from 176 mg/dL to 147.9 mg/dL.
The changes suggest an estimated A1C reduction of 1% for morning readings and 0.7% for daily readings.
Quest Health plans to expand its RPM offerings to include devices such as blood pressure monitors and pulse oximeters, to extend its services to healthcare providers nationwide.
The expansion complements Quest’s existing CGM and diabetes supply services.
Quest Health RPM services patient care head Jim Klauder said: “Rimidi makes RPM effortless. Our team and partners love the quick access to charting, billing, and patient info — all in one user-friendly platform.”
Rimidi, a digital health company, supports healthcare providers with EHR-integrated software and connected devices to facilitate comprehensive patient management.
By merging clinical data with device and patient survey information, Rimidi enables proactive, guideline-based care for high-need patients.
Rimidi CEO Lucienne Ide said: “Remote monitoring, paired with the right clinical insights, in the right place, at the right time, empowers providers to better support patients in managing their diabetes, and these early results reflect that.
“We’re proud to work with Quest Health as they bring their excellence in diabetes care to RPM programs and broaden the reach and impact of their services.”
