BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ--(Marketwire - April 16, 2009) - ExpressMD™ Solutions, a joint venture formed by Authentidate Holding Corp. and EncounterCare Solutions (PINKSHEETS: ECSL), Inc. to provide remote patient monitoring telehealth systems and services that improve care for patients with chronic conditions, announced today that its remote patient health monitoring system has received 510(k) market clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ExpressMD™ plans to initiate manufacturing and sales of its Electronic House Call™ monitoring devices and services immediately.
The Electronic House Call System will be used by healthcare professionals who manage patients with chronic conditions, such as heart disease, COPD and diabetes. Patients are able to use the monitoring devices located in their home to measure their vital signs and to motivate them through education and reminders. The Electronic House Call monitor securely transmits this information to its data center making it conveniently available to each licensed care provider via a secure website. By remotely receiving patient data daily, licensed care providers can adjust treatment accordingly and provide an enhanced level of care.
Chris Doherty, Director of Technology Development, stated, “The Electronic House Call is an easily used technology and can be used for many patients with different chronic diseases, and as an important tool for post operative patients. Additionally, the technology has generated a lot of interest from wellness management companies as incentives for managing healthcare goals in the workplace. We are extremely pleased with the acceptance of the large, colorful touch screen that is an important feature in the use of the product.”
Rogers Kirven, CEO of Cyntrist, a Diabetes Care Company, stated that Cyntrist has significant interest from its current customer base and is currently finalizing contracts for the Electronic House call for its nationally based Managed Care Companies. “We expect that it will be significant to our ob-gyn pregnancy and diabetes monitoring program.”
