ViiMed has said its new cloud-based application, EXTEND, can connect patients and care teams through bundled care programs, such as joint surgery. EXTEND is designed to help providers reduce costs, shorten lengths of stay, avoid positive outcomes and improve satisfaction, the company said.

Through automated coaching, personalized videos and secure messaging, EXTEND can help providers collaborate. Orthopedic patients also can stay connected.

EXTEND is “fully customizable and integrates with existing technologies like electronic health records,” the company said.
