Kos Inc. derives its name from that of third largest island of the Dodecanese and its healthcare mission is inspired by Hippocrates of Kos (c. 460 – c. 370 BC), a Greek physician who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is traditionally referred to as the “Father of Medicine” in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field, including the use of prognosis and clinical observation, the systematic categorization of diseases.

Kos Inc., or simply Kos, approaches the modern challenges of health and wellness, including quality of care and cost, by leveraging information technology, smart devices, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to bring health and wellness practice into the home and our daily activities. Our product observes and monitors our health continuously and informs our decisions and the care of our healthcare professionals. It contextualizes this information to help us, and our care givers, to better understand how health and disease express themselves and are experienced in our daily lives.

Kos views health and wellness outcomes in a multidimensional way, including dimensions of patient experience, treatment strategy and treatment efficiencies. These dimensions can be viewed as an array of treatment goals, states and actions, called the Kos Health and Wellness “Cube.” Patient activity, symptom monitoring and analytics are integrated.

Doctors, care givers, payors and patients are brought into closer collaboration through Kos technologies. Continuous monitoring of patient condition and analytics that learn how disease expresses itself in everyone can assist the physician in providing personalized and more effective and efficient treatment, enabling the treating physician to assess impact and patient compliance with treatment strategy to adjust treatment in real-time, including scheduling timely follow-up and adjusting treatment strategy.

Laboratories, either those engaged in medical or pharmaceutical or medical devices R&D or those providing laboratory services to doctors and clinics, can also benefit from the work done at Kos.

Pharmacies, and the treatment components they provide to the patient, are a critical element of the overall treatment strategy. Their timely awareness of the doctor-proscribed pharmaceuticals, including characteristics and cost, is critical to treatment impact and success.
The Kos suite not only provides the patient-authorized physician access to the patient’s monitoring data and data analytics, but also assists the patient in scheduling and tracking appointments and allows the patient’s physician to enter scripts/prescriptions directly into the physician Kos interface.
