Company presenting at highly influential HIMSS23 Global Health Conference, today, April 19, 2023 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CDT.

Meta-analysis shows Remote Patient Monitoring delivers improved quality of care, enhances the patient experience, reduces healthcare costs, and improves provider satisfaction

NEW YORK, April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- PAVmed Inc. (Nasdaq: PAVM, PAVMZ) ("PAVmed"), a diversified commercial-stage medical technology company, operating in the medical device, diagnostics, and digital health sectors, and its majority-owned digital health subsidiary Veris Health Inc. ("Veris"), announced that today, Wednesday, April 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CDT, its team will be presenting a comprehensive remote patient monitoring ("RPM") meta-analysis entitled "RPM for Oncology: Bringing the Hospital Home to Improve Lives" at the HIMSS23 Global Health Conference in Chicago. HIMSS is the world's most influential annual health information technology event, with 40,000+ professionals throughout the global health ecosystem in attendance.

"At Veris, we are deeply committed to enhancing personalized cancer care through RPM using our state-of-the-art Veris Cancer Care Platform, which went live last quarter," said Lishan Aklog, M.D., PAVmed's Chairman & Chief Executive Officer and Veris' Executive Chairman.

"We believe our healthcare system, and oncology in particular, is in the midst of a revolution in how patients and physicians interact, and that RPM will play a central role in the rapid, technology-driven transition from episodic, mostly in-person assessment and care to more continuous, mostly remote monitoring and care," Dr. Aklog added. "This meta-analysis affirms our thesis that RPM platforms such as ours have the potential to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care delivered to the nearly two million patients diagnosed with cancer every year. Patient symptom and quality of life reporting ("ePROs"), along with remote monitoring of physiologic data, allows for early detection of complications, reduces unplanned hospitalizations, reduces healthcare costs, and enhances both patient and provider satisfaction."

Presenters at this session at HIMSS session include:

James D. Mitchell, M.D. – Chief Medical Officer of Veris Health and practicing radiation oncologist. Dr. Mitchell is the co-founder of Oncodisc, Inc. which Veris Health acquired in 2021.

Matthias Kochmann, M.D. – Physician and clinical informationist at Sutter Health and Veris consultant. Dr. Kochmann has a deep background in medical informatics, has published extensively on RPM and is the recipient of NIH research grants in the field.

Ankit Prasad – Director of System Integration and Customer Support at Veris Health. Mr. Prasad served in various customer and technical roles over nearly a decade at electronic health record leader, Epic Systems, and directed successful initiatives across various applications in the Epic ecosystem as Head of Customer Success.

The presentation was based on a meta-analysis of data collected through an extensive literature review of nearly two decades of oncology research across various modalities and cancer types, representing ten different countries on four continents and published in more than 30 different peer-reviewed publications. Using the data, the Veris team provides a framework for integrating RPM with ePROs into personalized care at cancer care centers.

Veris is a commercial-stage digital health company whose Veris Cancer Care Platform™ (Veris CCP) is designed to enhance personalized cancer care through remote patient monitoring. Patients enrolled on the platform receive a VerisBox™ containing Bluetooth-enabled connected health care devices that transmit real-time physiologic data to the cloud-based Veris CCP clinician portal. The patients also report symptoms and quality of life parameters through the Veris CCP patient smartphone app, which is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.  The clinician portal is designed to be integrated into the oncology practice and allows the cancer care team to review physiologic and clinical data, and to bill for RPM services. The software-as-a-service recurring-revenue business model delivers near-term value at attractive margins to both Veris and its clients. The company is concurrently developing an implantable physiological monitor, with biologic sensors and wireless communication, designed to be implanted alongside a chemotherapy port, which will interface with the Veris Cancer Care Platform.
