AI Transformation: Tele and Behavioral Health Applications in Healthcare

Most discussions in healthcare circles today focus on the power of AI, exploring rapid integration into the healthcare sector, bringing many new ways to improve everything from telemonitoring, telenursing, and behavioral healthcare to predictive diagnostic and treatment decision-making. In 2024, over 30 million U.S. patients were expected to use remote patient monitoring, reducing hospitalizations for chronically ill patients and increasing medicine adherence as two positive outcomes. With AI tools, healthcare professionals have new and expanded means to improve patient care, diagnosis, and treatment for their patients in any medical setting.

Investment in AI is bringing new software and devices to the point of care. AI software programs like Enlitic for managing medical imaging data or care.ai for AI-assisted virtual care bring greater efficiency into healthcare workflows. Benefits include helping reduce errors in primary care and expanding care beyond the borders of the healthcare complex to remote and rural communities facing healthcare disparities. In the devices realm, the FDA has approved nearly 730 AI-enabled devices since 2020, with 107 in 2024. Major medical device manufacturers such as Philips, Siemens, and GE Healthcare are at the forefront of the AI device market, boasting the highest number of FDA-authorized products.

This technology shift impacts healthcare professionals, impacting diagnostic precision and treatment capabilities. The growing adoption of AI still requires mobile medical carts and wall-mounted solutions to fluidly adapt these new technologies to both the care provider and the patient's end of telemonitoring or behavioral health care examples. 

A Platform for Innovation

First Products supports AI advancements in telemonitoring, telenursing, and behavioral health programs, working with telemonitoring companies and solution providers to create versatile mobile carts and mounts for any configuration required. Our First TeleView® Cart and First TeleView® Wall Mount products are built to be technology and hardware-agnostic, seamlessly adapting to your devices and systems. Whatever setting these carts and wall mounts are utilized, care providers are empowered to deliver proactive care, flexibility, and efficiency with AI-enhanced capabilities. 

• The First TeleView® Remote Patient Monitoring Cart: Configured to suit exact needs with a 360 video camera and 2-way audio speaker that transmits to a central monitoring station. The lightweight, clean, and small footprint design seamlessly fits nurse workflows. The mobile cart helps reduce the burden of 1-to-1 sitting by enabling continuous patient observation technology with reduced staff and improving faster caretaker intervention to help reduce patient safety events. The cart accommodates an iPad or tablet with a fixed height of 81” (205.74 cm). Accessorize with Device or Power Source Mounts, Speakers, Scanners, Baskets, Glove Box Dispensers, and other add-on accessories sold separately. See the cart demo from HIMSS 2024.

The Focus of AI in Telemonitoring Applications 

Analyzing real-time patient data is a leading telemonitoring application. Other monitoring applications include predictive analytics, imaging analysis, automated alerts, and reminders, like notifying patients about taking their doses or providing important health updates. There are specific uses for patients dealing with chronic disease management, like monitoring blood pressure for hypertension or heart health in cardiac care. Respiratory care, elderly care, and post-surgical care are other applications. 

Having equipment that is accessible, flexible, and personally equipped for precise application has many benefits, some of which include improved patient engagement, early detection, improved care coordination, and more. Whatever your application, First Products offers a robust, flexible platform adaptable to your unique needs for the perfect fit—built for you, with you.

Partnering to Deliver the Perfect AI-Enabled Solution

From major medical device manufacturers to smaller companies entering with a few applications, the growing interest in AI is creating opportunities for companies and healthcare providers to work together to drive innovation. First Products has established these relationships to bring the medical carts and wall mounts to the applications and is working on these new growth opportunities with scalable solutions built in the U.S.A. for faster and more customized integrations without the design and developmental delay.
