New York, NY – March 16, 2023 – FOX Rehabilitation (“FOX”), the nation’s leading provider of Geriatric House Calls™, is extending its ability to serve older adults with remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM). FOX has partnered with OneStep, an innovative platform for digital therapy using pioneering science that turns any smartphone into a clinical-grade motion analysis lab. OneStep’s remote care platform allows FOX clinicians to extend patient care beyond in-person visits, to improve clinical outcomes, enhance patient engagement, reduce healthcare costs and continue its reputation as a healthcare innovator.
The partnership provides unprecedented functional insight into the older adult population. OneStep’s mobile app for motion analysis identifies changes in gait parameters and function mobility assessments that are correlated with an increased risk of falling and hospitalization. The patient is also more engaged during and after therapy via dynamic, video-based home programs. Data is received in real-time with ongoing notifications to the clinician, allowing for proactive intervention.
Together, FOX and OneStep are introducing a way to capture the time spent and impact of remote care, called “RTM Minutes”, which aims to emphasize high-quality care and better patient outcomes. OneStep’s ability to capture continuous gait and motion analysis data offers clinicians heightened visibility to deliver data-driven, personalized care plans that can be easily adapted and highly targeted. RTM Minutes is a metric that automatically captures the time clinicians spend monitoring patients and reviewing data collected by OneStep. OneStep data is optimized for easy consumption and actionable insights to move care upstream – a game-changer for preventative intervention.
Dr. Robyn Kjar, CEO, FOX Rehabilitation, said: “With OneStep, FOX clinicians have a valuable new tool to deliver exceptional care. Our partnership marks the moment where technology and opportunity meet to enhance clinical decision-making and produce better health outcomes for our older adult patients.”
OneStep’s app allows FOX to optimize care across the patient journey, which facilitates substantial savings and supports reimbursement for new RTM CPT codes released in January 2022.
“FOX is a pioneer in remote care, and this marks a pivotal step in bringing digital transformation into the home for geriatric care – enabling high-quality remote care management to improve how elderly patients function at home with physical independence and confidence,” said Tomer Shussman, CEO at OneStep. “Together with FOX, we are positively changing the way people age.”
