Oxford County Paramedic Services Superintendent of the Community Paramedic Program, Joe Vandermeer, says "The success of our initial deployment proves our residents are eager to embrace remote patient monitoring. Cloud DX helps us meet the growing demand for remote monitoring in our vulnerable populations. With Connected Health™, we are experiencing fewer unnecessary calls and reducing avoidable ER visits, alleviating some stress in the overburdened 911 and healthcare systems. Thanks to Cloud DX, enhancing and expanding our use of healthcare technology, we are able to focus more directly on patient care. Connected Health™ gives our elderly or high-risk residents peace of mind as they feel more supported in their healthcare journey. This is what Community Paramedicine is all about."
Cloud DX COO and co-founder, Anthony Kaul says "Cloud DX is fast becoming the virtual care platform of choice for Ontario's expanding Community Paramedics programs. We're thrilled to have been able to launch Oxford County's virtual care and remote patient monitoring program and we look forward to providing additional support to chronically ill and other at-risk patients in that community and communities throughout Canada."
