We caught up with Remo Kousins, creator of Patient Harmony:
Describe your creator idea.
My project reduces the risk of post-medical treatment patient readmissions. Imagine you go in for knee surgery. Upon being discharged, you get a sheet of paper with how to treat yourself at home.
Chances are you are compliant the first few days, but it's not consistent because you don't remember to look at the paper, or maybe you lose it. Even worse, no one is keeping you accountable by following up to make sure you do these things.
Now you are at risk of not recovering quickly, if at all.
Through an integrated suite of communications, alerting, and analytics - we create safe transitions, reduce admin work, and decrease penalties by automating reminders, followups and identifying high-risk patients.
Why One Spark?
One Spark is the perfect venue for this project. Innovative yet cost saving improvements on how medical care can be delivered is a hot topic now. The primary challenge of health organizations is cutting waste. This project is an efficient and effective way to cut waste while at the same time, keeping patients as the #1 priority. And besides, One Spark is one more thing that makes Jacksonville such a cool place to be.
How is One Spark going so far?
I’ve been getting good responses so far and I’m looking forward to some productive follow-up conversations.
What is next after One Spark?
We want to implement our system in Emergency Rooms, Home Health Agencies, and Veterans Administration Facilities. We’ve received a massive amount of feedback and requests from clinicians in our target niches who are not happy with their existing system. With more developer hours, we have the capability to give them exactly what they want. In addition, once the expanded functionality is there we will need to increase our reach through marketing.
