Reflexion Health’s virtual rehab platform VERA
Reflexion Health, a remote monitoring business to help people do physical therapy from home, has hired a chief technology officer with a background steeped in robotics and analytics, according to a news release.
Market Trends to Watch for Health Systems and Their Specialty Pharmacies
The future looks bright for the integrated specialty pharmacy model – for health systems, providers, and most importantly, for patients.
Sudipto Sur will be tasked with advancing Reflexion’s technology platform, including the enhancement of the company’s engineering and digital capabilities and its IT infrastructure, the statement said.
The San Diego-based company hired Sur as it prepares to expand its product offering to help a wider and more diverse patient population, Joseph Smith, Reflexion Health’s CEO, said in the statement.
The company’s VERA platform detects motion and remotely monitors the effectiveness of prescribed physical therapy in real-time. The company’s main focus has been the use of VERA for recovery from hip and knee replacement surgery, particularly to support the bundled payment model. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launched the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement payment model last year. But Reflexion has also worked with partners on cardiac rehab, fractures, and chronic pain.
Sur previously worked for molecular diagnostics company Signal Genetics as chief information officer. He produced cloud-based analytics and billing systems at Signal. He also was president of Anssur Corp, an engineering and software services provider for analytics and medical robotics. He led the development of human computer interface products at Miralex Systems.
Reducing Clinical and Staff Burnout with AI Automation
As technology advances, AI-powered tools will increasingly reduce the administrative burdens on healthcare providers.
In June, Reflexion Health closed an $18 million Series B round so it could complete the evaluation of its first FDA cleared product. Other priorities included product development, scaling the company’s VERA platform nationally among U.S. healthcare systems, and adding staff.
Smith told MedCity News at the time that the company had grown its staff by 20 percent since the start of the year and was planning to add five more staff.
