Cloud DX (TSX-V:CDX, OTCQB:CDXFF), the leading remote monitoring company, announced a new partnership with community home care provider CBI Health to offer a comprehensive home care service to Canadians.
The innovative partnership enables patients to go home sooner and more safely after surgery and other complex health presentations, helping alleviate occupancy pressure on Canadian hospitals, Cloud DX said.
It said the partners' first contract together is the Critical Illness (CI) benefit with insurer Equitable Life of Canada, which, as previously announced, offers Cloud DX Remote Monitoring free of charge to all approved CI claimants.
This Cloud DX offering will now expand to include 24/7 monitoring with CBI's National Client Service Center, offering Equitable clients greater access to care and improved convenience.
"We're excited to announce a new partnership between Cloud DX and CBI Health to expand access to quality care at home. Combining our expertise in remote and virtual care with CBI Health's professional and personal healthcare services, hospitals can discharge patients earlier with confidence," CEO and founder of Cloud DX Robert Kaul said in a statement.

"This is great news for patients who need additional support at home, but it's also great news for healthcare systems - the partnership will create system efficiencies that improve patient outcomes, reduce system costs, and can reduce length of stay at hospital. All of which, in turn, can make a difference to both care access and care quality."
The Cloud DX digital health platform delivers remote monitoring and virtual care solutions that bring patients and care teams closer together. By connecting with CBI Health's high quality home care service network across Canada, the partnership empowers hospitals, insurers, or other stakeholders to access virtual command centers of healthcare professionals to augment remote or virtual care solutions without increasing overhead or workload, Cloud DX said.
Feisal Keshavjee, senior vice president at CBI Health, commented: "Together CBI Health and Cloud DX are a powerful combination of innovation, technology and service excellence that enables patients and clients to manage and measure their health at home.
“CBI Health is committed to providing the highest quality of care possible and the highest standards of service. To do this, we must provide a range of services that meet the needs of all our clients - whether they need higher-intensity home care, or just some help recovering post-surgery. By partnering with Cloud DX, we can provide these services at home where it's most comfortable for our clients."
Cloud DX is a leading digital health platform and provider of virtual and remote patient monitoring solutions.
