Chronic care app on a patient's phone with home device readings
    Healthcare / Chronic Care App

    What is a chronic care app?

    A chronic care app is software that helps patients with long-term conditions, such as diabetes, heart failure, hypertension or COPD, manage their care between visits. It connects home devices, medication reminders and care plans to the care team and the EHR. Agnotic Technologies builds them with CCM and RPM documentation and HIPAA safeguards.

    Industry Overview

    How does a chronic care app work?

    A chronic care app works as a loop between home and clinic. Patients log symptoms and medications while home devices send readings; rules flag readings outside the care plan; care managers review the flags, message patients and document time for CCM or RPM billing; and the results sync to the EHR.

    Industry Challenges

    Why do chronic care apps lose patients?

    The same problems come up when teams scope chronic care software.

    • Logbook fatigue: self-tracking without feedback loses patients quickly.

    • Missed medication: patients stop or skip medicines, and the care team often finds out only after a downstream event.

    • Billing complexity: CCM, RPM and principal care management codes have overlapping but distinct documentation rules, so time is easy to underbill.

    • Care-team overload: without triage, care managers drown in low-risk alerts and miss the patients who need help.

    Our Approach

    How we build chronic care apps

    Programs that keep patients engaged and keep billing documentation complete.

    Connected Home Devices

    BP cuffs, CGMs, scales, pulse oximeters, and peak-flow meters flow directly into the app and the EHR.

    Adherence & Behavior

    Pill-reminder nudges, refill prediction, and behavior-change content tuned per condition and literacy level.

    Reimbursement Engine

    Automatic time-on-task tracking, documentation packets, and claim-ready summaries for CCM / RPM / PCM CPT codes.

    Capabilities

    What goes into a chronic care app?

    Capabilities we build into chronic care programs.

    Condition Care Pathways

    Condition pathways for diabetes, heart failure, hypertension, COPD, CKD and obesity, set by your clinicians.

    Home Device Integration

    Direct sync from Dexcom, Abbott, Omron, Withings, iHealth, and Apple/Google Health.

    Medication Adherence

    Pill reminders, refill prediction, and pharmacy integrations for home delivery.

    Symptom & Outcome Tracking

    Condition-specific PROMs and symptom diaries with longitudinal trending.

    Care-Team Messaging

    Asynchronous messaging with triage SLAs and escalation to video visit or nurse call.

    Risk Stratification

    ML-assisted stratification to focus care managers on rising-risk patients first.

    Education & Coaching

    Literacy-tuned content, coaching journeys, and group programs for behavior change.

    CCM / RPM / PCM Billing

    Time-on-task logs, documentation, and claim-ready summaries for each CPT code.

    EHR Sync

    Two-way sync with Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner) and athenahealth via SMART on FHIR and FHIR write-backs.
