| Description |
|
MedApps is partnering and working with major medical device manufacturers, telecom companies, medical software companies, chip and component manufacturers and healthcare organizations to introduce its' Telemedicine 2.0 Solution on a national level. |
|
| Products / Services |
The MedApps system is designed to link patients, families and healthcare professionals by providing a convenient way to remotely collect, transmit, store and report timely and accurate health information anywhere. It features the HealthPAL, a small portable personal health device, to collect and transmit readings from glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, weight scales and pulse oximeters. Timely health readings from these devices are useful in maintaining wellness regimens and can assist clinicians in their treatment of patients with chronic diseases. The collected data is automatically transmitted to a secure central server where it can be accessed by healthcare professionals or stored to an online electronic personal health record such as Microsoft HealthVault or Google Health. HealthPAL is simple to use and ready to go, "out of the box". It eliminates the need for specialized hardware, expensive cellular plans, or computers to collect and transmit biometric readings. The ease of use is a key factor in improving patient compliance. Initial results from pilot programs using the MedApps solution, including those in place with Cleveland Clinic and Baptist Home Health Network, have been very encouraging. The MedApps system offers healthcare professionals the opportunity to monitor patient conditions, and manage diseases at earlier stages when associated expenses are lower. Additionally, the system provides patients more user friendly tools, which enables them to take a more active role in their own health management.

|
| Technology / Differentiation |
| HealthPAL is small and lightweight, about the size of a cell phone. HealthPAL automatically collects readings from compatible glucose meters and wirelessly transmits the data into the MedApps System. Readings are accessed through the MedApps web-based care-provider portal, HealthCOM. HealthCOM provides clinicians with the ability to monitor and manage medical information collected through the MedApps System. |
