Avicenna Medical Solutions has signed its second big client to its AviTracks Chronic Disease Management System, bringing
The Veterans Affairs (VA) Ann Arbor Healthcare System on board.
"We see a big potential for growth," says Frank Pelosi, vice president & CMO of
Avicenna Medical Solutions. "This VA contract is a big step forward for us. We see it as a big opportunity."
AviTracks helps veterans manage treatment for chronic diseases from their home. This usually includes patients who take blood thinners or need to monitor cardiac rhythms. It is designed to lessen the information burden on health-care IT systems, allowing medical professionals to maximize time with patients and employ best practices for treatment. AviTracks is being used in seven different divisions in the University of Michigan Health System.
Avicenna Medical Solutions was spun out of the University of Michigan in 2006. It has a team of four people, and hopes to add a couple more this year including software engineers and a business development manager.
