KITCHENER, Ont. – Cloud DX, a leading North American provider of virtual care and remote patient monitoring platforms is pleased to announce a new Master Deployment Agreement with the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI). OHRI is an academic health research institute located in the city of Ottawa, Ontario. It is the research arm of The Ottawa Hospital and is affiliated with the University of Ottawa.

OHRI houses approximately 2,200 scientists, clinician investigators, students, research fellows, and support staff. Its researchers are studying more than a hundred different diseases, conditions and specialties with an overall focus on translating discoveries and knowledge into better health.

Researchers at the Institute intend to use Cloud DX Connected Health products and services to enable remote patient monitoring, communication via video and text, schedule and compliance management, and improved clinical study efficiencies, allowing the researchers to conduct higher quality clinical studies.

Dr. Sylvie Aucoin (pictured), clinician investigator at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and anesthesiologist at The Ottawa Hospital commented: “Virtual care and remote monitoring technologies have great potential to improve patient care. Our research team looks forward to working with Cloud DX on research in this area.”

Cloud DX technology will make it possible to recruit subjects for trials more efficiently, and to gather more information from each subject. Each order for Cloud DX technology will be covered by a separate Statement of Work (SOW), with plans in place for projects involving over 1,000 patients.

Cloud DX has a successful track record of academic partnership, working with prestigious institutions such as the Population Health Research Institute, McMaster University, University of New Brunswick, University of Waterloo, University of California San Diego, Simon Fraser University and several others. Researchers have published papers describing the benefits of Cloud DX technology in peer reviewed journals including the British Medical Journal, the Canadian Journal of Cardiology and Journal of Medical Internet Research.

Cloud DX co-founder and COO Anthony Kaul stated: “Cloud DX is excited to embark on this new partnership with the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. Since our founding in 2014 Cloud DX has participated in some of the most important research in digital health.

Papers published about virtual care using Cloud DX, including the PVC-RAM-1 study in the British Medical Journal, have been cited around the world. Our research partnerships often lead to large-scale commercial contracts, as was the case with long-term clients Hamilton Health Sciences, The Ottawa Hospital, Alberta Health Services, and others. We’re confident that our contributions to research at OHRI will continue to improve care for Canadians, and customers in other countries as well.”
