Enfora to Demonstrate Wireless Patient Monitoring Solutions at Healthcare Unbound
Posted on: Thursday, 3 July 2008, 15:00 CDT
Enfora, a leading global supplier of intelligent wireless networking solutions, will present and demonstrate several advanced patient monitoring solutions at Healthcare Unbound, an industry conference focused on the convergence of consumer and healthcare technologies, and scheduled for July 7 and 8 at the San Francisco Marriott.
The demonstrations will showcase Enfora's Enabler(R) wireless platform managing the network connectivity and extracting readings from a blood glucose meter and, separately, from a digital stethoscope. These readings are automatically sent to a central server application or series of applications for review and monitoring, potentially by members of a clinical staff.
"The Enabler platform offers medical appliance vendors and service providers the ability to reliably obtain data from a variety of devices such as blood pressure and glucose monitors," said Jeff Newman, chief strategy officer, Enfora. "Medical applications, such as remote patient monitoring, are a fast growing market segment for deploying end-to-end wireless connectivity solutions. Enfora is pleased to be a part of a solution that efficiently connects patients with their healthcare providers."
An aging global population coupled with continuously rising healthcare costs are key drivers in spurring the rapid development of medical monitoring solutions for managing disease, promoting wellness and dealing with aging lifestyle issues. End-to-end remote patient monitoring offers the opportunity for real-time diagnosis and personalized medical therapies that can help patients avoid emergency room visits or last-minute hospital stays, where healthcare costs are at their peak and resources are stretched.
The Enabler is a network edge wireless IP platform with various models that provide global wide-area GSM/GPRS wireless communication and GPS location capabilities in an embeddable form factor. The software environment for the Enabler platform brings together key hardware and software elements to enhance the rapid deployment of clinical applications in various areas of the healthcare value chain.
