The MetrikLink transmits data to authorized members of the healthcare team using a phone line or an Internet-enabled PC. The unaltered, objective data can be reviewed by the provider knowing it is not subject to recall or patient bias (as with manually entered data), thus allowing them to make a more informed treatment decision.
MetrikLink is an integral part of MediCompass Connect, a telehealth gateway that securely and seamlessly transfers data from personal health monitoring devices to MediCompass or third-party applications using HL7 messaging.
MetrikLink enables patients and professionals to share self-tested data between healthcare visits. Patients with asthma, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, weight management and other chronic conditions, can self-test at home while staying connected to their care team. The communication between patients and professionals encourages patient participation in their health management to help meet their healthcare goals.
