The Health Buddy(R) System Goes Wireless
Posted on: Tuesday, 17 July 2007, 12:02 CDT
Health Hero Network, Inc., the leading provider of personalized, home health care technology, announced today a 510k market clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use of wireless medical devices used with the Health Buddy System. The supported wireless devices include a weight scale, blood pressure monitor, peak flow meter and blood glucose meters. By supporting wireless technology, patients can choose from a variety of medical devices most appropriate to their lifestyle and health condition.
The Health Buddy System provides coaching, monitoring and education for patients managing their chronic condition. Patients interact with the Health Buddy(R) Appliance, by answering daily questions concerning their health condition. The addition of wireless technology makes the Health Buddy Appliance even simpler, more flexible and easier to use, while improving the patient experience.
"The addition of wireless medical devices expands Health Hero Network's capability to support home monitoring with medical devices across a wide spectrum of disease states -- eliminating cabling to the appliance for ease of use and to better conform to patients' daily activities," said Derek Newell, Health Hero Network's Chief Executive Officer.
