cliexa is now available in the athenaHealth Marketplace

Today, cliexa Inc., a thriving producer of mobile health care management services, revealed a partnership with athenahealth, Inc.® through athenahealth’s “More Disruption Please” (MDP) Marketplace program. As an MDP partner, our cross-communication platform developed for chronic pain patients and providers, cliexa-EASE, is now immediately available to athenahealth’s network of 100,000+ providers and countless prospective clients. EASE enables patients and clinicians to make intelligent correlations between medication dosage, frequency and heightened or reduced symptoms by leveraging an application that functions as a pain assessment model for chronic pain management with seamless scalable EMR integration via API and global HL7 connectivity.

cliexa provides the ideal pain management application to leverage patient-reported outcomes to improve treatment decisions and patient experience, while also maximizing compliance and reimbursement. cliexa-EASE is designed for chronic pain management, podiatry, and general patient wellness. cliexa-EASE allows providers to gather digitized intake data and customize assessments to correlate data that best adheres to their patient population.

In order to provide physicians with high accuracy metrics, cliexa-EASE uses patient reporting methods on visual body maps, and pain expression in voice, face, and body movements. This allows physicians to view the physical attributes of pain beyond self-reported descriptions which can often be difficult to translate into clinical diagnostics terms. Tracking these markers allows physicians to use patient-reported outcomes to treat the “whole patient.”  One of cliexa’s existing clients, Anderson Podiatry Center, is already seeing the benefits of using the cliexa platform with a custom digital patient intake and screening process, also digital consent forms, integrated to their athenahealth electronic medical record (EMR).

The athenahealth Marketplace partnership opens up a hyperconnected, national network of healthcare professionals providing chronic pain management. With this partnership, the two companies align to provide measurable financial and clinical results for providers. cliexa is a real-time data provider for future medicine and will continue to build on our vision to increase patient-provider engagement and compliance through mobile health solutions.

“We are excited to partner both with athenahealth and Anderson Podiatry Center to deploy cliexa platform into the marketplace as this is the first of many subspecialties we currently have in our portfolio. We are looking forward to implementing other subspecialty applications to the athenahealth marketplace which will strengthen our partnership in healthcare space,” says Mehmet Kazgan, Founder and CEO of cliexa.

Eric Seyler, CEO of Anderson Podiatry Center, says, “The transition to a digital patient intake has given us more opportunities to help our patients than we had envisioned. Our patients have spent less time in the waiting room with more time delegated to their doctor’s visit. The integration is done in real-time which supports our goal to be more efficient with clinic resources while helping to provide the best possible patient experience.”

cliexa enables patients to track their chronic disease activity by quantifying symptoms using scientifically-proven and clinically-validated scoring models. cliexa delivers quantified disease activity and documentation through real-time integration to athenahealth electronic medical record, which streamlines processes and increases efficiency in population health management.

cliexa’s hard work and commitment to improving our country’s healthcare systems has been recognized by the Office of American Innovation (OAI) for our advancements within the industry. The OAI, appointed by President Donald J. Trump, and led by Jared Kushner, has invited cliexa to attend the 2019 White House Blue Button Developers Conference in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, July 30th at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. We are humbled and honored to receive this invitation. We are looking forward to connecting and potentially collaborating with policymakers, technologists, and medical experts to advance the sharing of medical information through mobile technology.

We are one of the few technology vendors who have successfully enabled the Center for Medicare and Medicaid’s (CMS) Blue Button 2.0 API into our software platforms. According to CMS’s website, the Blue Button 2.0 API is a “developer-friendly, standards-based API that enables Medicare beneficiaries to connect their claims data to the applications, services and research programs they trust.” This API enables patients to sync their Medicare accounts to our applications and bi-directionally share the information, specifically claims data, to their providers, and care teams.

With this information, there are a variety of potential outcomes from leveraging this data, including streamlined documentation and the secure exchange of patient information which can lead to uncovering new insights about patients’ health status and increasing time for face-to-face interactions between patient and provider.

Our first use case for this API was in our application, cliexa-EASE, designed for the Department of Health and Human ServicesAgency for Healthcare Research and Quality‘s Step-Up App Challenge. With this build, we were selected as one of the three winners of this challenge. The goal of the challenge was to develop an application that simplifies the process of collecting, interpreting, aggregating and sharing patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data related to physical function outcomes. Using the Blue Button 2.0 API, patients could connect Medicare accounts to our platform and share their claims data directly to the health systems’ electronic medical record system. Other functionalities including the connection and aggregation of data from IoT and wearable devices, electronic medical record systems paired with custom, mobile clinical assessments.
