EUREKA, Calif. - July 28, 2015 - PRLog -- ResolutionCare (http://resolutioncare.com), a provider of hospice and palliative care medicine (HPM) services today announced a strategic partnership with TapCloud (http://www.tapcloud.com), LLC, a mobile health solution provider offering tools that enable real time insights about symptoms and treatment outcomes to be shared between doctors and patients. The partnership enhances ResolutionCare’s ability to provide highly responsive and adaptive palliative care to people with serious and life limiting illnesses.

“Providing connected, soulful care that treats patients as people was a primary driver and reason for establishing ResolutionCare,”said Michael D. Fratkin, MD, Founder/Director.“We spend time with the people we care for in their homes, and we see technology as a useful tool to help strengthen that bond between our team and the people we care for in between visits, so TapCloud’s approach fits seamlessly into our approach,”he added.

ResolutionCare is dedicated to providing and teaching the highest quality of palliative care. ResolutionCare has also been harnessing cloud-based videoconferencing technology to care for people with serious illnesses entirely in their home. Team based and person-centered, ResolutionCare supports quality of life, empowered decision making, and self determination for people navigating life’s greatest challenge.

TapCloud provides a mobile health application that connects care providers with patients and provides real-time insights into whether treatments are working or not, giving patients and providers the data they need to recognize and react to the changing needs of each patient. TapCloud’s technology is the only healthcare application to monitor and measure outcomes in five key clinical areas, including wellbeing, symptoms, pain, medications and vitals.

“Like many transformative technologies, TapCloud was born out of personal experience,”said Tom Riley, CEO.

While caring for a loved one who had cancer, Riley learned that tracking treatment effectiveness day-to-day, in between office visits, can lead to important insights about health care and quality of life.

Adds Riley: “Our focus on enhancing the connection between patient and caregiver aligns perfectly with ResolutionCare’s mission in palliative care.”
