• Blood pressure kiosks central to hypertension management in worksites and managed care facilities

0 Comments
PharmaSmart International, Inc., a provider of hypertension management programs for retail pharmacy, announced the successful launch of its "Create a Healthy Heart Program" into worksites and managed care facilities throughout North America.
 
Rochester, N.Y.-based PharmaSmart is a world leader in blood pressure screening technology, providing innovative solutions to meet the needs of pharmacists, medical providers, employers, and employees to test, track, and manage blood pressure. PharmaSmart Blood Pressure equipment currently performs over 65 million blood pressure tests per year. PharmaSmart's patented technology and employee oriented programs are utilized by chain pharmacies, corporate worksites, fitness facilities, and managed care centers as a core disease state management solution. The latest program has been proven to improve employee behavior and health outcomes.
 
Employees insert their individual "Hypertension Management" smart card into the kiosk and press a single button. Their blood pressure results are sent to secure web portal which can be shared with their healthcare provider or integrated into any health risk assessment program currently in place. The program encourages employees to take an active interest in their blood pressure management and assessment, and encourages the positive lifestyle/behavior changes that lead to healthier lives.
 
PharmaSmart clients include corporate worksites such as General Mills, Genentech, Canadian Tire and MVP Health Care, an independent not-for-profit health insurer.
 
In May, 2009, Erie County (Buffalo, NY) obtained a state grant to launch an integrated, hypertension management initiative with PharmaSmart in nine county facilities where county employees and the public have access to the program.
