Infosys, a global leader in consulting and information technology, has partnered with NovaSom Inc, the leader in home testing for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), to significantly improve the efficiency of administering and analysing results of home tests.

The IT major has designed an innovative cloud-based user portal, Meditrack, on salesforce.com to broaden the reach and efficiency of NovaSom’s diagnostic solution suite. The new portal provides physicians with a single, easy-to-use interface that speeds up the order-to-delivery of devices, processing of diagnostic data and management of insurance claims.

Meditrack provides web interfaces with third-party applications to access and analyse patient data immediately upon wireless receipt of the completed home sleep test.  The portal, launched earlier this year, enables NovaSom to shorten the time from test completion to report generation by two days. The capability helps NovaSom’s sleep specialist customers deliver faster diagnoses to patients and speed up their paths to treatment.

“Patients with OSA are at an increased risk of other chronic diseases. The innovative solution that we developed for NovaSom is helping OSA patients receive faster and better medical care,” said Dheeshjith VG, senior vice president and global head, Life Sciences at Infosys. “Leveraging our deep medical technology domain knowledge and harnessing the latest technical advancements has allowed us to enable NovaSom to facilitate rapid diagnostic and therapy cycles.”

The NovaSom diagnostic solution also leverages AccuSom, the first and only FDA-cleared wireless home sleep testing device. With more than 18 million moderate to severe cases of OSA in the US, the suite of accurate, cost-effective home sleep testing solutions are delivering new benefits to patients, health insurers, and specialty and primary care physicians.

In 2012, NovaSom expanded its product suite, launching AccuSom Deliver, a customized turnkey solution allowing sleep specialists to incorporate high-quality, at-home sleep testing into their practices on a larger scale.
