Synapticure is a teleneurology platform that provides a continuity of care to people living with neurodegenerative diseases. We have a licensed medical group that is composed of nurses, licensed clinical social workers, genetic counselors, and board-certified neurologists. Our doctors have gone through a rigorous selection process to become a part of CareND and have committed to placing patients first. We aim to improve care for all people living with neurodegenerative disease by applying the new technology and scientific breakthroughs of the last few years.
We work with patients to understand how we can best augment their existing care in collaboration with you. Our goal is not to replace a patient’s care team, but to work with and co-manage patients that are referred to us.
CareND provides patients with care coordination services, on-call neurologists, via accessible web and mobile applications. These capabilities are designed to reduce the burden on patients, and augment the care you provide to them. We work in tandem with you to provide wraparound care for patients, and to address the questions and developments that often occur in between visits.
CareND partners with centers of excellence to augment their capacity and, eventually, have the goal of expanding how many patients can gain access under their expertise. We collaborate with the centers to extend the high-quality care that is provided. For example, we can take on administrative work such as collecting and organizing medical records, teaching patients how to navigate clinical trials tools, file for disability, find access to local resources, or learn how to clean a feeding tube. We are here to support you and increase the time you can spend with patients, helping you get more time to deliver high-value service to your patients.
For most primary care physicians and non-specialized neurologists, it’s rare to diagnose and treat neurodegenerative patients. Today, bench science is rapidly evolving and as a result, everything from understanding when to suggest testing for a diagnosis for a patient to helping patients find potential clinical trials they can enroll in can be a full-time job to keep up with. We’re here to keep on top of that research and lift that burden for you. That way you can focus on care delivery for your patient, and leverage our disease-specific expertise to get your patient the best care possible. Our care team responds to after hours texts, can set up calls as needed for a patient, and partners with you to support a rounded care team.
You can refer any patient to us as soon as you have diagnosed them with a neurodegenerative disease. Early intervention is key to quality of life for patients.
Team approaches to care aren’t new to diseases - tumor boards are common practice in cancer for example. We look to apply this approach in neurodegenerative diseases. Namely - in reviewing a patient’s medical records, we connect with all of the patient’s care team. This includes everyone from their primary neurologist and wrap-around care center to their in-home PT and home-assistants.
We pull in medical records from every doctor a patient has seen to create a summary and make sure the full care team has a shared understanding of where the patient is. We also share key updates to other clinicians and flag action items where it is helpful. We will proactively reach out to you to keep you informed so that things don’t get lost. Synapticure has pods (of neurologists and care coordinators) that are specifically assigned to a center or region we work with. This ensures that external clinicians can build relationships and trust with the same people on our team, as opposed to having a rotating point of contact.
We are excited that you want to work with us, please email partner@synapticure.com to learn more about partnership opportunities.
