InTouch Health Announces Launch of Enhanced StrokeRESPOND Workflow Solution at International Stroke Conference


InTouch Health® is pleased to announce the launch of a new and enhanced version of its leading telestroke workflow product, StrokeRESPOND® version 3.0, which it will showcase along with its comprehensive telestroke solutions at the International Stroke Conference in New Orleans, LA, on February 1st and 2nd. Since the company's inception in 2002, InTouch Health has been a leader in clinical services and medical device innovation in the growing acute care telemedicine marketplace and now supports more than 500 hospitals and over 1,500 physicians providing over 30,000 clinical consults annually. The Company offers the only FDA Class II medical device available on the market intended for Telestroke active patient monitoring.

StrokeRESPOND 3.0 provides customers with the ability to fully customize their own data set around acute stroke and neurology metrics. By creating a customizable platform, StrokeRESPOND 3.0 allows each institution to seamlessly migrate their existing protocols and order sets to all of their partner sites across a Telestroke network. This key advantage enables communication between disparate hospitals that operate on different electronic record platforms and experience difficulty in transferring data between networks.

Dr. Tzu-Ching Wu, Assistant Professor, Vascular Neurology and Director of Telemedicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston states that, "As an avid user of StrokeRESPOND, I am extremely excited about the partnership that InTouch Health has created and how closely they worked with our organization to customize and design a solution that is both innovative and clinically insightful. Without their support and efforts, we would not have been able to develop and plan for the telestroke network we have today."

InTouch Health has partnered with more than 55 hospital systems nationwide to develop, promote and implement Telestroke networks that provide regionalized stroke coverage to millions of residents nationwide. The Company's proprietary telestroke program development process enables customers to scale and produce strong financial results in both urban and rural communities. InTouch Health's comprehensive clinical workflow solution integrates clinical documentation, PACS imaging and healthcare purpose-built Remote Presence telemedicine devices.
