Remote patient monitoring is becoming a cornerstone of chronic care management, but the flow of data from home devices into electronic health records has often been clunky. A&D Medical’s latest launch directly tackles that friction.
The newly introduced Direct Connect Blood Pressure Monitor (UA-652BLE) is designed to let patients transmit readings straight into Epic MyChart, giving care teams a real-time window into patient health between visits.
ANN ARBOR, MI – A&D Medical, a global leader in clinical-grade home health monitoring solutions, unveiled its Direct Connect Blood Pressure Monitor today. This connected device is built specifically for US healthcare organizations looking to expand remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs and deepen patient engagement through Epic MyChart integration.
The device allows patients to securely send blood pressure measurements from home via their MyChart application. This data lands directly within familiar Epic workflows, giving care teams timely access to patient-generated health data without extra steps. The streamlined process supports proactive management of chronic conditions and lowers the hurdles that often keep patients out of remote monitoring initiatives.
“Healthcare organizations continue to look for ways to extend care beyond the clinic while maintaining efficient workflows for providers,” said Brad Wiltz, Chief Commercial Officer. “With Direct Connect, patients can easily share blood pressure readings from home through MyChart, helping care teams access the information they need to support ongoing patient management and more informed clinical decision-making.”
Expanding the A&D Medical Connected Solutions Ecosystem
Direct Connect represents the newest component of A&D Medical’s Connected Solutions Ecosystem. This platform offers healthcare organizations the flexibility to choose between Cellular, Bluetooth®, or Direct Connect options depending on patient needs, care models, and operational requirements. Rather than forcing a single connectivity standard, A&D Medical enables health systems to support diverse patient populations while building monitoring workflows that can scale.
The ecosystem is structured around patients, providers, and programs, pairing clinical-grade home monitoring devices with connectivity pathways that ensure reliable transmission of accurate health data. This adaptable approach lets organizations match connectivity to a patient’s technology access and workflow needs.
As part of the connected care ecosystem, Direct Connect aims to enhance visibility into patient health trends, support RPM initiatives, and promote coordinated care experiences.
“Interoperability is critical to the future of connected care,” said Kyle Klein, Sr. Product Manager. “By utilizing the Generic Health Sensor profile, Direct Connect helps bridge the gap between patients and providers, making it easier to incorporate home blood pressure readings into everyday clinical workflows.”
