DrKumo, Inc. exclusive partnership with Alternative Healthcare LA Founder Robert L. Jamison, Ph.D, and his Behavioral Health Program to assist with Chronic Disease Management by Remote Patient Monitoring
Alternative Healthcare LA Behavioral Health Director Robert L. Jamison, CRA, PhD and Dr Kelly Nguyen at DrKumo, Inc. bridges the gap between Mental Health and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). A telehealth company that is turning smartphones into a patient-centric, and connecting health platforms to enable continuous, real time physiological data monitoring for chronically ill patients in acute care, skilled nursing and hospital settings.
As a psychological support tool with DrKumo Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program, our nationally recognized, peer-reviewed, and clinically validated Behavioral Health Assessment measures seven different dimensions. (depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar, addictions, suicide, a functional level.) Patients can take the assessment on any web-enabled device in under five minutes. Clinicians receive clear results that measure and monitor patients for the best possible care. Medicare and most commercial insurance reimburse for these services. When the patient's test positive for depression, additional assessment for other psychological problems, such as anxiety, bipolar, trauma (PTSD), substance abuse disorders and suicide should be undertaken These additional assessments are important, as 20% of primary care patients who screen positive for depression suffer from bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and substance use disorders. Our multidimensional assessment is one-stop shopping. One in five people in this country has a diagnosable mental health condition. Mood & Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric disorders seen in primary care offices. Yet most end up undiagnosed and not treated. Patients do not have to suffer in silence any longer.
BHA Benefits:
1. The BHA has been proven to reduce non-diagnosis, misdiagnosis, mistreatment, and delays in treatment.
2. The BHA patient-rated screen and longitudinal monitoring facilitate the patient's collaborative participation in their treatment.
3. The BHA encourages patients to feel that, for any life problem they can bring it to their doctor.
4. Better mental health care to patients who may otherwise receive none.
5. Reduce overall insurance costs via early identification of problems due to the fact the survey results will provide early intervention when needed.
In Summary the Behavioral Health Assessment, is SIMPLE for patients to take, EASY to administer is CONVENIENT and BENEFICIAL for patients, it PRODUCES measurable results within 5 minutes.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) was once thought to be one of the most successful approaches in monitoring disease progression or improvement for hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic conditions. RPM captures and sends patient health data to clinicians via linked devices outside of a traditional clinical care setting. These devices keep track of a wide range of vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels.
Mental illness had been an alarming issue among Americans, fueled by feelings of loneliness and isolation when the pandemic struck in March. The 2021 State of Mental Health in America report states that mental health in the United States continues to deteriorate, that many states are unprepared to deal with the crisis, and that the government is called out to act immediately. In the said report, 19% of adult Americans experienced mental illness from 2017 to 2018. There was an increase of 1.5 million people based on last year’s dataset. Moreover, the percentage of adults in the U.S. who are experiencing severe thoughts of suicide increased to 0.15% from 2016-2017 to 2017-2018 or an additional of 460,000 people from last year’s dataset.
Mental illness chooses no age. In fact, in the above-mentioned report, from 2017 to 2018, 9.7% of adolescents in the United States experience severe major depression. Additionally, 60% of these adolescents were not able to receive mental health therapy. Even in states with the highest availability of resources, many of their residents were left untreated. Today, with the fast-growing advancement in technology, experts are routing for RPM to help in treating and understanding more patients with mental illness.
