Digital health company Get Well has launched the first digital care plan for monkeypox.
The monkeypox monitoring plan is a 21-day remote care plan; the care plan informs patients of what monkeypox symptoms are and how to treat them. The tool can alert clinicians if a patient's symptoms improve or more medical intervention is required, according to the Aug. 16 Get Well press release.
"With Monkeypox spreading rapidly, patients and providers are again forced to manage and navigate under duress and with fluid information," Get Wellfounder and CEO Michael O'Neil said. "COVID-19 taught us the importance of moving with creativity, pace, and precision to support our provider partners. This new care plan will help patients effectively monitor and manage their symptoms proactively and keep them safe at home, which will reduce the burden on hospitals and healthcare workers."
