Diabetes, a chronic condition characterized by abnormal blood glucose regulation, primarily occurs as Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Each instance of diabetes can lead to unsafe levels of blood sugar which, if unmanaged, can cause significant damage to bodily function, including the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and other serious health complications, putting further strain on the healthcare system.

Hypertension or High Blood Pressure is an issue across America that will impact nearly 50% of the population. There are several areas of focus that hold the ability to improve overall care around patient awareness, engagement and the reliability of in-office readings. This is accomplished through digital health platforms like Mozzaz and remote monitoring to better connect patients and care team workers outside of the standard office environment.

The Mozzaz Platform seeks to enhance patient care through our integrated patient engagement features, providing a holistic platform solution to a variety of care scenarios. We believe that by supporting robust features out-of-the-box, we empower our clients to remain focused on providing care to those they serve, minimizing the complications associated with reaching patients.

Remote patient monitoring utilizes connected-health and wearable devices, such as smartwatches, blood pressure monitors, and pulse oximeters to collect real-time health data. By continuously monitoring patients' vital signs and health trends, physicians can detect early signs of deterioration or complications, allowing for timely interventions and better healthcare outcomes.

As we continue to reflect on the ways that digital health can enhance the patient journey, it is essential to discuss a missing element that underpins these advancements: data privacy and compliance. Patient trust is the foundation of effective healthcare, and data protection is paramount. Mishandled patient information, whether through breaches or improper usage, not only compromises the privacy of individuals - but erodes trust in the healthcare system.

As technological advancements continue to enhance our lives, it comes as no surprise that the healthcare industry is undergoing a steady digital transformation. These health innovations are not just augmenting the way care is delivered; they hold the potential to revolutionize the patient journey and experience as a whole.

Innovation often springs from personal experiences, and for the founders of Mozzaz, Pam and Rini, the journey began with a deeply personal quest to support their son, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the age of two and a half. Their pursuit led to the birth of Mozzaz, at the time a pioneering application that revolutionized assistive care technology and eventually evolved into the virtual care platform our clients experience today.

In today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, the challenges faced by physician practices are more complex than ever before. Rising healthcare costs, workforce shortages, long wait times, and increasing patient complexity are stretching resources thin.

Amidst these challenges lie opportunities for innovation and improvement.

The American Medical Association (AMA) has unveiled the proposed agenda for its second quarter 2024 CPT Editorial Panel meeting in May, showcasing a potential expansion of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) CPT codes. These changes aim to bring about a positive transformation in the landscape of healthcare.

World Kidney Day serves as a poignant reminder of the critical importance of kidney health and aims to bring awareness on the subject. The kidneys, compact organs each about the size of the palm of your half, play a vital role in maintaining our health. Every 30 minutes, they diligently filter all the blood in our bodies, removing waste products, toxins, and excess fluids. Additionally, they regulate blood pressure, support the production of red blood cells, promote bone health, and balance essential blood chemicals necessary for life.

In the landscape of healthcare, the shift towards personalized care is not merely a trend but an approach to revolutionize patient outcomes. Personalization in patient treatment plans, the cornerstone of this shift, goes beyond the one-size-fits-all mentality to tailor medical interventions and care strategies to the unique needs, preferences, and characteristics of individual patients. Meeting patients where they are and augmenting care in a meaningful way to them.

As we look back on Data Privacy Week, it is important to examine the evolving landscape of digital health and the delicate balance required between personalized healthcare experiences and patient privacy. At Mozzaz, we understand the importance of tailoring digital environments to meet individual patient needs while ensuring robust data security.

In the realm of digital health, where the safeguarding patient data is paramount, the collaborative efforts between healthcare systems and technology providers play a pivotal role in fortifying and securing sensitive information. As we continue to acknowledge Data Privacy Week, it's important to shed light on the robust measures that we continue to implement at Mozzaz to shield patient data and contribute to a more secure digital healthcare ecosystem for our partners.

The integration of Apple HealthKit into the Mozzaz Platform is a leap forward in enhancing patient care and provider efficiency. Apple HealthKit acts as a central hub for a diverse range of health data collected from Apple devices and apps. For care providers, this translates into access to comprehensive and real-time patient health information.

Mozzaz is happy to announce that we have successfully completed our third annual SOC-2 Type II Compliance Audit with no stated exceptions. This accomplishment demonstrates our continued commitment to safekeeping organizational data for our clients and business alike.  In this blog, we’ll explain what a SOC 2 report is, what it covers, and what it means for the organizations we serve.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring is a game-changer in diabetes management, improving patient care and serving as an asset in connected care programs. In a recent interview, Mozzaz's CEO, Rini Gahir, delved into the pivotal advancements in CGM technology and its profound impact on diabetes care, with a network of over 20,000 patients utilizing connected CGM devices on the Mozzaz Platform.

Our lives are busy. For patients - It’s a challenge to manage a health issue. For members of the care team, finding the time to handle a growing case load is equally daunting.  We are happy to announce that pCare has selected Mozzaz to be their technology partner for the pCare Ambulatory solution.

Life can be challenging, but managing your diabetes shouldn’t be. Together with our partner Quest Health Solutions and Mozzaz as the underlying technology - we have combined Continuous Glucose Monitoring with Remote Patient Monitoring to improve chronic disease management.   

Americans have adopted technology across so many aspects of their lives including how they interact with their doctor. Through digital visits and connected health devices, access to care has been enhanced for patients - especially those with chronic conditions. For healthcare organizations this represents an opportunity to both improve the quality of care for their most vulnerable patients and the bottom line by leveraging digital health solutions like remote patient monitoring and virtual care.

The success of a remote patient monitoring program lies in the ability to meaningfully engage your patients in their care programs through the use of connected devices. The devices your program will utilize depends on the specific biometric readings that provide the most value to your care team. That leaves you with determining which connectivity type is best suited for your patient population: Bluetooth or Cellular?
