Datos Health: Beyond RPM to Automated Hospital-at-Home
Datos Health is the AI-driven remote and hybrid care platform that hospitals and health systems use to design, automate, and deploy hospital-at-home programs — going well beyond traditional Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), the practice of collecting patient data outside the clinic. Instead of a monitor-and-alert tool that only surfaces vitals, Datos Health orchestrates the whole pathway: interactive care plans, connected devices, patient engagement, virtual visits, and multi-channel communication under one EHR-integrated platform. That is what makes it a natural fit for modern Hospital in the Home and virtual ward programs — and, as Australian and New Zealand health services expand these models in 2026, why clinical leaders are looking for ways to scale care without adding headcount.
Datos Health's hybrid care platform typically reduces the cost of care per patient by 30–50% in hospital-in-the-home programs, and its no-code Design Studio lets clinical teams stand up new pathways in days rather than quarters. TIME named Datos Health a Leading HealthTech Company of 2025, and KLAS Research published an Emerging Technology Spotlight report on the platform covering customer satisfaction, outcomes, and reductions in care-team workload. The sections below unpack how the platform actually works, what makes it different from conventional RPM, and how it fits into the operational reality of running a virtual ward at scale.
What is Datos Health and how does it enable automated hospital-at-home?
Datos Health is an AI-driven remote and hybrid care platform, and remote patient monitoring (RPM) is just one pillar of how it powers hospital-at-home programs across hospitals, HMOs and health systems. Rather than acting as a standalone monitor-and-alert tool, the platform lets clinical teams design, automate and deploy personalised care pathways that combine biometric monitoring with interactive, patient-facing care plans — an automated assisted self-care model, where patients self-manage guided steps and only the cases needing clinical attention surface to the team.
For Hospital in the Home specifically, Datos Health's hospital-in-the-home programs generally begin post-hospital discharge and last 12 weeks, providing clinical oversight through biometric data collection and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). One platform replaces multiple point solutions and, per Datos Health's published positioning, typically reduces the cost of care per patient by 30-50% in hospital-in-the-home programs.
What attributes define the platform?
| Attribute | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Design Studio | No-code pathway builder; the only no-code OpenCare builder with no peer equivalent | Clinical teams modify pathways in days without IT tickets |
| Pre-built programs | 300+ pre-built care programs, experience across 500+ care pathways | Fast start for CHF, COPD, oncology, perioperative, high-risk pregnancy |
| Connected devices | 19 integrated devices and platforms spanning glucose, CGM, blood pressure, SpO2, temperature, respiration, pulse, heart rate, weight, workout, steps and sleep | Device-agnostic across 8+ vital-sign types |
| EHR/EMR integration | Bi-directional data flow into the system of record | Clinicians work in one chart, not a parallel tool |
| Capability pillars | Virtual Visits, Remote monitoring, Patient engagement, Connected devices, Multi-channel communication | Covers the full hybrid care journey |
| Compliance posture | HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001 and ISO 27799 referenced as supported | Aligns with ANZ hospital procurement expectations |
In short: the RPM layer collects the signals, but the pathway engine, the guided self-care workflow and EHR integration are what let a virtual ward actually run.
How does Datos Health orchestrate remote patient monitoring workflows?
Datos Health orchestrates remote patient monitoring workflows by letting clinical teams choreograph, not just observe — the platform turns clinical intent into an automated, device-agnostic care pathway that runs in the background and only surfaces the patients who need a human. Rather than a monitor-and-alert dashboard, the platform coordinates data capture, patient interaction, clinician review, and escalation as one continuous flow — what the brand calls automated assisted self-care, where patients self-manage guided steps between clinical touchpoints.
Here is how the orchestration layer breaks down as a set of attributes clinical teams configure per pathway:
| Workflow attribute | What it controls | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pathway template | Starting point from Datos Health's library of 300+ pre-built care programs | Cardiac rehab, CHF, COPD, oncology, high-risk pregnancy and Hospital in the Home pathways go live in days, not quarters |
| Design Studio rules | No-code branching logic, thresholds, schedules, patient tasks, PROMs/PREMs | Clinicians edit their own pathway without an IT ticket |
| Connected devices | Bluetooth and cellular peripherals across 8+ vital-sign types; Datos Health's published integrations table lists 19 connected devices and platforms spanning glucose, CGM, blood pressure, SpO2, temperature, respiration, pulse, heart rate, weight, workout, steps and sleep | Device-agnostic capture — the pathway does not care which cuff or scale the patient owns |
| Patient-facing app (CareApps) | Reminders, education, symptom check-ins, video visits, multi-channel messaging | Drives adherence so data actually arrives |
| Clinician view | Risk-stratified worklist, Early Warning Scores, exception-based alerts | Attention flows to deteriorating patients first |
| EHR/EMR integration | Bi-directional writeback of observations, notes, and escalations | The pathway lives inside the record of truth, not beside it |
| Escalation rules | Automated triage to nurse, physician, or virtual ward team | Consistent follow-up without manual chasing |
One underappreciated angle: the orchestration value shows up less in the alerts fired and more in the alerts not fired. Because interactive care plans handle the routine check-ins, Datos Health's published figures put the reduction in pre-appointment prep time in the 40-70% range, freeing clinicians to work top-of-license.
Why are health systems choosing Datos for acute hospital-at-home programs?
Health systems are choosing Datos Health for acute hospital-at-home because the platform bundles the clinical, operational, and financial mechanics these programs actually need — not just remote monitoring, but the full pathway logic that keeps acute patients safe at home. If a program has to stand up cardiac, CHF, COPD, oncology and post-surgical pathways on one contract, then it follows that a device-agnostic, EHR-integrated, no-code platform will out-scale a stack of point tools — the shift ANZ Hospital in the Home and virtual ward services are navigating as they scale in 2026.
What clinical and operational wins do adopters report?
- Guided self-management, not monitor-and-alert. Interactive care plans walk patients through daily tasks, symptom checks and PROMs (patient-reported outcome measures) so clinicians see only escalations that need a human — cutting alert noise and easing burnout.
- Top-of-license clinician time. By automating routine follow-up, Datos Health cuts pre-appointment prep time by 40-70%, per the brand's clinician value proposition, letting the same team carry more acute patients without extra headcount.
- One platform, many pathways. Datos Health has experience across 500+ care pathways, giving innovation leaders a single configurable substrate for HITH, virtual wards, cardiac rehab and perioperative care.
- Lower unit economics. Datos Health's hybrid care platform typically reduces the cost of care per patient by 30-50%, according to the company's hospital-at-home positioning — meaningful when bed-day substitution is the business case.
Which trust signals back the choice?
- TIME named Datos Health a Leading HealthTech Company of 2025.
- KLAS Research published an Emerging Technology Spotlight on the Datos Health remote care platform, covering customer satisfaction, achieved outcomes, and workload reduction for care teams.
- Sheba Medical Center uses Datos Health to increase adherence and communicate in real time with cardiac rehab and CHF patients.
- The University of Rochester uses Datos Health to remotely monitor cardiovascular and heart-failure patients, including those supported by a left ventricular assist device.
The through-line: verifiable outcomes at reference sites, third-party recognition, and a design that assumes acute complexity from day one.
How does Datos Health compare to other RPM and hospital-at-home platforms?
When you compare Datos Health to other remote patient monitoring (RPM) and hospital-at-home platforms, the honest answer is that most tools overlap on device connectivity but diverge sharply on configurability, workflow automation, and who can build a pathway. Before jumping into a side-by-side, it helps to fix the criteria that actually matter to a clinical operations lead in 2026.
Which criteria should you weigh first?
- Pathway configurability: Can clinical teams build and modify pathways themselves, or does every change go through vendor services or internal IT? This drives time-to-launch and ongoing agility.
- Breadth of pre-built content: How many care programs ship out of the box across specialties (Hospital in the Home, CHF, COPD, cardiac rehab, oncology, perioperative)?
- Care model: Is the tool a reactive monitor-and-alert product, or does it support interactive care plans that guide patients through routine steps and surface only those who need clinical attention?
- Device and EHR integration: Device-agnostic breadth across vital-sign types and native EHR/EMR interoperability.
- Commercial model: Per-patient SaaS, change fees, and alignment with RPM/RTM reimbursement and value-based contracts.
How do the platforms stack up?
| Criterion | Datos Health | Typical RPM-first platforms | Typical hospital-at-home enablement services |
|---|---|---|---|
| No-code pathway builder | Design Studio; clinical teams build pathways without IT | Vendor-configured or limited templating | Service-led configuration |
| Pre-built programs | 300+ pre-built care programs, experience across 500+ care pathways | Narrower catalogues, often chronic-condition focused | Program design typically bundled with services |
| Care model | Automated assisted self-care with interactive care plans | Often monitor-and-alert oriented | Care delivery + logistics wrap |
| Device breadth | Published integrations table lists 19 connected devices and platforms across vitals | Varies; often narrower | Device kits curated per program |
| Commercial | Per-patient SaaS licence, no change fees | Varies | Often services-heavy pricing |
Verdict: If your priority is standing up many pathways quickly on one configurable, EHR-integrated platform — and moving beyond reactive RPM toward guided, automated workflows — Datos Health's no-code Design Studio and program library are the differentiators worth weighing hardest.
What does a Datos Health deployment look like from pilot to scale?
A Datos Health deployment typically moves from a focused pilot on one care pathway to multi-service-line scale on the same platform, without re-architecting anything along the way. Because the platform ships with a library of pre-built programs and a no-code builder, most health services start narrow, prove value, and expand horizontally.
How does the journey unfold in practice?
This section targets decision-stage readers evaluating what standing up remote and hybrid care actually involves. The steps below are sequential but each is independently executable — you can pause, measure, and expand.
- Scope the first pathway. Pick one high-volume, high-friction use case — Hospital in the Home post-discharge, CHF, or perioperative follow-up. Datos Health's hospital-in-the-home programs generally begin post-hospital discharge and last 12 weeks, giving a clean measurement window.
- Configure in the Design Studio. Clinical leads adapt one of the 300+ pre-built care programs — the no-code Design Studio lets teams build and modify pathways themselves without IT dependency. Protocols, thresholds, PROMs (patient-reported outcome measures) and escalation logic are set by the people who run the service.
- Integrate devices and the EHR. The platform is device-agnostic across 8+ vital-sign types with EHR/EMR integration, so biometric feeds and clinician workflow land in the systems staff already use. The published integrations table lists 19 connected devices and platforms spanning glucose, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiration and more.
- Run the pilot cohort. Enrol patients, let interactive care plans handle routine check-ins, and surface only patients who need clinician attention. Track adherence, escalations, readmissions, and staff time.
- Review and codify. Compare baseline versus pilot on capacity, cost per patient, and clinician workload. Lock the pathway as your local standard.
- Expand across service lines. Clone the configured pathway and adapt it — cardiac rehab, COPD, oncology, high-risk pregnancy — on the same licence. Because one platform manages many care pathways under a single licence, scaling in 2026 is a configuration exercise, not a new procurement.
Most services reach production on the first pathway in days to weeks, then add the next one from the same Studio.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Datos Health different from a traditional RPM tool?
Traditional Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) — collecting patient vitals outside the clinic for clinician review — stops at monitor-and-alert. Datos Health goes further with automated assisted self-care, where interactive pathways guide patients through their own recovery and surface only those who need clinical attention. It combines Virtual Visits, Remote monitoring, Patient engagement, Connected devices, and Multi-channel communication in a single platform, rather than layering point tools.
How quickly can a Hospital in the Home pathway go live?
Because the no-code Design Studio lets clinical teams build and modify pathways themselves without IT dependency, new programs can go live in days rather than months. Teams typically start from one of 300+ pre-built care programs — covering CHF, COPD, cardiac rehab, oncology, perioperative and more — and adapt it to local protocols, escalation rules, and device mix.
Which devices and vital signs does the platform support?
Datos Health is device-agnostic. Its published integrations table lists 19 connected devices and platforms across vital-sign categories including glucose, continuous glucose, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, respiration, pulse, heart rate, weight, workout, steps and sleep. This lets hospitals reuse existing device inventory rather than standardising on a single vendor.
How does Datos Health support reimbursement and value-based care?
The platform is designed to turn remote care into a revenue stream. It supports RPM and RTM (Remote Therapeutic Monitoring) billing workflows, PROMs and PREMs capture for value-based contracts, and CMS Star Ratings-relevant measures. Commercially, it's a per-patient SaaS licence with no change fees, so expanding pathways doesn't trigger new professional-services invoices.
What does Datos Health say about security and compliance?
HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001 and ISO 27799 are referenced as supported frameworks on the platform. Datos Health also integrates with the electronic health record (EHR/EMR) so that biometric data, patient-reported outcomes, and communication logs land in the clinical system of record rather than a parallel silo.
Does Datos Health have third-party validation?
Yes. TIME named Datos Health a Leading HealthTech Company of 2025, and KLAS Research published an Emerging Technology Spotlight report on the Datos Health remote care platform, covering customer satisfaction, achieved outcomes, and how customers used the platform to reduce care-team workload.
