About Signals
The hard part is the patient who stops using it
Cardinal Health Signals was founded in 2019 by a nurse practitioner and two engineers who found that remote monitoring programs fail on adherence, not on technology. Everything here is built around that, cellular devices with no setup, proactive outreach when readings stop, and a clinical team that calls patients rather than waiting for a dashboard alert nobody reads.
•Devices are cellular and preconfigured, patients never install an app
•Our clinical staff perform the daily review, your team sees only escalations
•HIPAA compliant with a signed BAA, and readings written into your EHR
Reviews
From clinics running the program
“We tried a program two years ago and half the patients quit in six weeks. Adherence here is around three quarters at six months, and it is because someone actually calls them.”
Dr. Amara O., Primary care, six provider group
“The billing documentation is what sold our administrator. It arrives complete and our denials on these codes are close to zero.”
Lindsay H., Practice manager
“My hypertensive patients are far better controlled because I am adjusting from two weeks of data instead of one reading in my hallway.”
Dr. Peter M., Internal medicine
FAQ
Program, reimbursement and patient questions
What does this cost our clinic?
The program fee is 48 dollars per enrolled patient per month, and for most clinics Medicare and many commercial plans reimburse remote monitoring at more than that, so the program runs at or above break even. We will model your specific payer mix before you enroll anyone rather than quoting a national average.
Do patients need a smartphone or internet?
No, and that is deliberate. Devices have their own cellular connection built in and arrive already paired to the patient. They take a reading the way they always have and it transmits automatically. This is the single biggest reason our adherence numbers hold up in older and rural populations.
Who reviews the readings each day?
Our clinical team does the daily review, chases patients whose readings have stopped, and escalates out of range values according to the protocol you set. Your providers see escalations and a monthly summary in the chart, not a firehose. You remain the treating clinician and all clinical decisions stay with you.
How long does it take to start?
Typically three to four weeks from agreement to first enrolled patient. That covers the BAA, the EHR interface, agreeing your escalation protocol and training your staff on enrollment, which takes about an hour. Devices ship to patients within two business days of enrollment.
