Ticuro Reply and high-altitude health care

Ticuro Reply, Xenia Reply’s telemedicine solution – which analyses behaviour and monitors vital signs – provides the technological basis for the “Meno soli sulle Alpi” project. This is an initiative promoted by the municipality of Sestriere in the Italian Alps with the financial support of the Fondazione CRT (a foundation set up by the Cassa di Risparmio di Torino bank), and the participation of Programma Salute (the Health Programme) and the law firm L. Antonielli D’Oulx and F. Benintendi.

Ticuro Reply allows patients visiting the municipality’s offices to request services and examinations provided by medical personnel and/or specialists who are also enabled to :

  • Medical certificates of fitness to take part in non-competitive sports for children between the ages of 5 and 14 years
  • Remote paediatric appointments for children aged 0 to 14
  • Blood pressure (BP) examinations, oximetric HR and oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurement, electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and GP teleconsultations
  • Dermatological teleconsultations

The Ticuro Reply solution provides the municipality of Sestriere with a new means – that complements rather than replaces existing options – of offering care and treatment to its citizens. The new technologies enable patients to benefit from appointments, treatment and assistance in their local area or even at home, avoiding where possible the need to travel long distances and the related impact on their lifestyle, including costs for their families.

In future, the services will be extended to the entire population of the local union of municipalities (the “Unione Montana Comuni Olimpici della Via Lattea”). The type and number of analyses and appointments available will also be expanded.

Ticuro Reply is a CE-certified medical device. Xenia Reply is ISO 13485-certified.
