ForaHealthyMe now on Azure Marketplace
July 28, 2021
MARKHAM, Ont. – ForaHealthyMe Intelligent Virtual Care Solutions has announced the availability of its AI-enabled tele-rehab and remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure.
ForaHealthyMe customers can now take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management.
The ForaHealthyMe platform delivers low-cost, all-in-one comprehensive care tools to address the complex needs of patients with musculoskeletal, cardiology, neurological and cognitive impairment issues, and those in need of treatment due to COVID-19 long-haul issues. Post-COVID-19 patients, including those not admitted to hospital, are expected to have high needs for physical, psychological, and cognitive rehabilitation (long-COVID).
Current treatment models and technology, result in patients having to visit multiple treatment centers or conduct aspects of their care via video. This is inefficient, ineffective, and costly.
“Over the past year, we’ve witnessed rapid transformations in the health sector,” said Courtney Cole (pictured), CEO, ForaHealthyMe Inc. “With a few exceptions, the global healthcare system has struggled to support the needs of patients. In many jurisdictions, hospitals were forced to cancel or delay necessary surgical procedures. The backlog and wait times mean patients will likely experience a deterioration in their health. In addition, the health system must now prepare for the future needs of COVID-19 long-haulers.”
Long-COVID patients will require long-term support, therapy, and care to achieve the best health outcomes.
ForaHealthyMe’s AI tele-rehab and RPM solutions have demonstrated a clear value between increasing patients’ access to care, improved outcome, and cost reduction.

ForaHealthyMe Inc. delivers low-cost AI and machine learning telehealth and tele-rehab technology solutions. The solution utilizes Microsoft Azure features such as Azure Cognitive Services, Azure Health Bots, Azure Active Directory and Machine Learning.
The solution empowers healthcare providers with relevant, intelligent data and algorithms so they can make informed decisions, while improving patient health outcomes and reducing medical costs.
The healthcare team can manage all aspects of patient care from the moment of diagnosis up until surgery, discharge, and rehab by using the integrated functionality of the ForaHealthyMe platform.
This includes remote onboarding, assessments, communication, health records, virtual consults, data gathering, and rehab and range-of-motion protocol prescriptions. Supported by gamified 3D virtual coaches and kinematic computer vision technology, range-of-motion protocols including assessments for hip abduction, gait, squats, balance error scoring, sway and balance can be done remotely.
Patients can access a suite of applications including mental and physical health assessments, video calls, biometric data-gathering tools, along with educational and gamified virtual learning environments. Azure cloud technology enables video tutorials, data tracking from wearables, range of motion activities and other assessments which can be shared seamlessly and securely across devices.
This gives the healthcare team a holistic view of the patient’s health and allows for informed decision making and comprehensive care planning. The gamified virtual environment is enhanced by Azure Machine Learning algorithms that accurately measure a patient’s functional capability across simple and complex motions during remote rehab and physical therapy sessions.
