CJPS Offers Trade-In Cash On Home Health Monitors

AUBURN HILLS -- CJPS Healthcare Supplies & Equipment has established a new Trade-Up program. This announcement comes on the heels of being the first and only company waiving all connectivity fees to caregivers accessing their patients' data using VitalPoint Home.

CJPS founder and president Christophe Sevrain said there are many older, hard-to-use remote patient monitors in the homes of the chronically ill. Despite incentives for reducing hospital readmission rates, this old hardware and connectivity fees can make it difficult, especially for smaller healthcare facilities, to make upgrades to their existing telehealth programs.

"I am shocked to see how many remote patient monitor units are out there, which are not being used often or at all, in spite of the huge need for this technology to reduce healthcare costs and improve patients' quality of life," Sevrain said. "An amazing percentage of our sales are trade-ups from units that have poor patient compliance, and therefore just don't deliver the promise of telemedicine."

CJPS says it is continuing to gain market share thanks to breakthrough industry firsts such as never charging any connectivity fees and now, buying back healthcare facilities' existing remote patient monitors. Included was the 33,000-unit order that the company announced just a few weeks ago.

VitalPoint is a standalone 4.5-pound device that can monitor blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, weight, glucose level, prothrombin time and ratios, temperature, fluid status, and provide electrocardiogram data, and provides the caregiver with the ability to remotely monitor patients' conditions using their laptop or cell phone.
