Sutter Health, based in Sacramento, Calif., is rolling out proprietary medical devices that connect directly with Epic’s EHR system, allowing patients to more easily track chronic health conditions from home.
The devices — a blood pressure cuff, scale and glucometer — automatically transmit readings to Epic’s MyChart app and into the patient’s health record without requiring a separate device-specific app, according to a Sept. 22 news release. Data is shared in real time, even if the MyChart app is closed or a phone is out of reach.
The devices were first previewed during Epic’s UGM 2024 meeting. Within a year, Epic and Sutter Health moved the concept into patient use, the organizations said.
The program, known as Sutter Sync, launched in spring 2025 to support patients with high blood pressure. It now also covers patients managing Type 2 diabetes and pregnancy. More than 3,000 patients are enrolled in the blood pressure program, which has received positive feedback from participants and clinicians, according to Sutter Health.
