VITALES Gives Doctors Access to Patient Health Information Before the

Appointment

The pioneering Spanish company Massive Bionics has


joined Apple HealthKit to develop the new VITALES app,
now available for iPhone in the App Store.
Doctors can access patients health records for the entire
previous months in a convenient online graphic format,
using DriCloud medical software.

Evaluate patients recovery progress during rehabilitation, access their


heart rate and respiratory frequency during exercise, see a diabetes
patients glucose levels, or measure their blood pressure in real time:
all of this is now possible for doctors in hospitals and clinics
everywhere. Massive Bionics has launched an advanced system based
on Apples HealthKit, which allows patients to collect their own health
data and send it to their clinic in real time, using DriCloud medical
records software.
The result is VITALES, an iPhone app now available for patients to
download from the Apple App Store. This new app allows patients to
share their medical information with their doctor using their iPhone or
Apple Watch and a variety of health monitoring devices. From any
computer, a doctor can rapidly see how the patients health has
progressed before the visit, in convenient graphic displays.
What doctors and clinics can use this software?
Currently, this system is beginning to be used in large hospitals such
as the Mayo Clinic and the Ochsner Clinic in the United States. But the
greatest virtue of VITALES is that it is allowing small and medium
clinics in Spain, Europe, and Latin America to access the technology
that has until now only been available to the biggest and most modern
hospitals worldwide.
VITALES is a completely disruptive system that demarcates a
Before and an After for health care. The doctor monitors and
maintains constant control over the patients health, and the patient
can now cooperate in improving their own health, explained Dr.
Enrique Galindo Martins, the Medical Director of Massive Bionics.
Uses for the VITALES system:
1. Control and management of chronic illnesses: Including arterial
hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic respiratory insufficiency,
etc. VITALES allows doctors to monitor patients health metrics
from a distance in real time, and make medication adjustments
whenever required.

2. Weight loss: Endocrinologists can constantly measure weight


change, exercise completed, calories consumed, nutrition
metrics, vitamins and other supplements taken, water intake,
etc.
3. Sports medicine: Exercise time, speed and distance covered;
body mass index, percent body fat, and percent muscle weight;
alcohol consumption, etc. All these statistics and more can be
monitored through the app.
4. Reproductive health: Patients can use VITALES to record data
such as the qualities of cervical mucus, spotting, menstruation,
ovulation, base body temperature, sexual activity, etc.
5. Sleep analysis.
The first population health study using VITALES
The Madrid Traumatology Institute has begun the first health study
using VITALES, to evaluate outcomes after a total knee replacement
surgery. Doctors will be able to evaluate the recovery of patients using
different rehabilitation techniques, and will have access to real-time
data on important indicators including distance walked, flights of stairs
climbed, walking speed, fall frequency, energy consumption, hours
spent standing. Cardiac and respiratory frequency are provided in
association with each of these statistics. Many doctors and clinics have
indicated interest in beginning to work with Massive Bionics technology
to offer their patients more personalized tracking and to improve their
quality of care.
The most powerful and safe way to care for illness
At every moment, patients have the power to control their information
and decide what they want share with their doctor. The doctor only
receives the information that the patient selects, and patient
information is never shared with third parties or with Apple. All patient
information is completely confidential.
