Services (PTS) and Motiva, an interactive healthcare
platform using broadband television, provide the ability

(e.g., for short-term care and follow up), while Motiva is
the ‘care’ bridge between the healthcare provider and
chronically ill patients at home (e.g., for long-term care
and follow up). Leveraging these systems, clinicians or
home health agency staff can be notified if a patient may
require their intervention – enabling homecare agencies
to focus their resources on improving outcomes.
