Rural Outreach & Access to Medicine

Improving rural health outcomes in West Virginia through innovative remote patient monitoring.

The Challenge in Rural West Virginia

West Virginia faces the highest diabetes rate in the nation, with rural communities experiencing significant barriers to early detection and consistent care. Diabetic foot complications are a leading cause of preventable amputations, hospitalizations, and loss of life.

The ROAM WV Solution

ROAM West Virginia deploys FDA-listed in-home foot scanning technology paired with a centralized, West Virginia–based remote patient monitoring hub. Our teams detect early warning signs before ulcers become emergencies.

How It Works

1. In-Home Monitoring

Foot scanning technology is installed directly in the patient’s home.

2. Daily Review

Scans are securely transmitted and reviewed by WV-based LPNs.

3. Early Intervention

Issues are escalated promptly to providers to prevent complications.

Our Impact

Early detection of diabetic foot ulcers
Reduction in preventable amputations
Lower emergency and hospital utilization
Job creation and workforce development in West Virginia

Built for Partnership

ROAM WV works alongside rural hospitals, clinics, and community providers. We enhance—rather than replace—local care, while addressing transportation, workforce, and access barriers.
