  1. Intercepttelemed brings icu doctors to remote areas. It was top healthcare setup

  2. Intercept TeleMed – Winner of 2020 Miami Herald Pitch Competition • Intercept TeleMed, based in Weston, brings intensivists into ICUs through telemedicine. • Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, telemedicine has emerged as a major tool to fight and contain the virus. • Intercept TeleMed is the 2020 Miami Herald Pitch Competition winner in the healthcare category.

  3. Dr. Diego Reino’s Thoughts on the Need of Telemedicine • “Only about 15% of all ICU beds in America are being monitored through this kind of telemedicine platform and as you might imagine in the current environment of COVID, that has become an extreme problem” said Dr. Diego Reino, a practicing transplant surgeon and the CEO of Intercept TeleMed. • “We are only one of two companies that is providing this service…. We think it will change medicine around the world.” • “The goal is not to replace bedside clinicians but to augment care and to add a second line of support”, Reino said. • One can remotely camera into the rooms, based on your two-way audio visual communication with the patient, one can make clinical decisions, one can look at the ventilator and make adjustments based on ventilator readings.

  4. Intercept and Philips eCareManager • The software Intercept uses is provided by Philips and has been shown to reduce mortality rates by 30 percent and shorten hospital stays. • ICU costs alone make up about 1% of the U.S. GDP, Reino said. • The cost of this 24/7 technology-enhanced care is generally less than $50,000 per ICU bed per year. • This compares to much higher direct costs of staffing intensivists around the clock, assuming they could be found locally.

  5. Intercept TeleMed – A Tele-ICU Service Company • Intercept has a management team of intensivists, physicians & ICU nurses. • Like other telemedicine providers, Intercept is seeing a surge in demand as remote doctoring has moved from nice-to-have to need-it-now. • Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. telehealth market is expected to witness over 80% year-over-year growth in 2020, according to analysis firm Research and Markets. • In normal times, signing a client with hundreds of ICU beds can take a year, said Mednick. • We can get rapid response out to clients initially and then upgrade them at a later date to the full-care model with our predictive analytics and artificial intelligence that assist the physicians.
