THE DOCTOR WILL SEE YOU NOW – AT HOME, IN THE CAR OR EVEN AT STARBUCKS!
Mobile PC Network Allows For Patients To Be Online and Not On-HoldTIMONIUM, MD.- January 17, 2007 (Cardiophonics®)
Cardiophonics® - a leader in remote technology for healthcare providers, announced today the introduction of the “Care From Anywhere©” (CFA™) mobile PC network. In simplest terms, the CFA™ enables health care providers and patients to “virtually” connect at the point of care, wherever they are – at home, in the care or even at Starbucks.
Through the convergence of Cardiophonics® and wireless technologies, consumers and outpatients can be monitored and reminded to monitor key functions such as blood glucose, heart rhythm, weight, and vital signs. By using the “Care From Anywhere©” network as a gateway to the internet, diagnostic information can be collected from wearable and implantable devices – in real time.
“Providing timely expertise in the care of ambulatory patients has been a long standing goal in medicine.” said Richard Trader, PA-C FCCM developer of the Cardiophonics® technology. “Unfortunately, for quality and efficiency, most physicians practice in several settings and except for hospital stays, patients are also mobile. Meeting that goal requires the ability to interact on-line with patient information and to have the ability to receive objective data for evaluation.”
“Let’s take an example”, he continued. “A patient wakes up in the middle of the night and feels like his heart is irregular. He then pages his doctor. In the past, that patient would have been referred to the ER simply because there is no objective means to judge the extent of medical support needed. Now, during the conversation with the patient, the doctor has the option to request a EKG to be sent to him in real-time. Physicians receive this type of call, thousands of times a day across the US; can you imagine how many ER visits we can save by providing real-time objective information during those encounters?”
Designed for the Ultra-Mobile PC, (which can fit in your pocket) the network consists of a software program that collects information from sensors (USB, Bluetooth) and then automatically synchronizes that data across a peer-to-peer private network. The provider program consists of a medical viewer developed by Cardiophonics® (CardioViewer©) that displays physiological medical and text data in a FDA approved format. The CardioViewer© displays and edits all digital files exported by the patient module. Data may then be exported to medical files or EMR.
With the CFA™ network on their PC, patients have immediate access to expert evaluation and care 24/7. Additional, the use of remote monitoring allows providers to be aware of insidious changes in patient status before costly complications result in symptoms that draw the attention of the patient. The real time telemetry and remote data retrieval options provide physicians with unsurpassed flexibility in reviewing ambulatory data thereby optimizing the time to treatment and cost savings. The network is equally suited to be used across a wide range of clinical settings including disease management.
