Remote Monitoring Demonstration System for Diabetes & COPD Available

I want to share the article and it's link to the the demonstration system. Here are a few quotes from the article.

Health Revolution Sciences Inc. has launched a new Website demonstrating its remote health care monitoring capabilities for perspective patients and care givers.
Called ForVida, the software application represents a sea change in health care technology.

The software allows physicians and patients to watch streaming cardiac telemetry or reference steadily growing actionable patient EKG and heart rate histories.

The system apparently uses a communication model similar to one I have described in an earlier article. (http://medicalremoteprogramming.blogspot.com/2009/10/communication-model-for-medical-devices.html) I do not know what data integrity and security measures they have taken.

What this is about ...

A technical blog is dedicated to discussing aspect of the next generation of patient monitoring and management. I post new entries as I am able. I encourage you to become a follower. If you have an interest in this area, I think you will not be disappointed.

I am a technologist of long standing and I often can spot technical trends of an industry or of a particular company. I'm unconcerned with the financial or business impact. That is for others to consider. I'm interested in technology and its likely impacts on people's lives. Although my profile mentions that my most recent experience is with Medtronic. I had lengthy experience with St. Jude Medical. Any examples I provide do not necessarily originate from Medtronic or St. Jude Medical. I have contacts from a variety of medical device companies and constantly research the industry. My examples will originate from a variety of sources.

In the spirit of what I've written above, many may not know that a quiet revolution in medicine is occurring. The information highway, the Internet, is being extended into medicine. Wireless data communication with the Internet will be enlisted to enable people to connect with the Internet. The interchange of electronic patient records and digitized medical images are just a part of this revolution. In the near future, your physician can monitor your health remotely. Furthermore, if you have an implanted medical device (IMD) such as a pacemaker, ICD, neuro-stimulator, diabetes management device, etc., your physician can monitor your vital signs and change the settings on your implanted, therapeutic device remotely - virtually anywhere. Even very sick individuals could be enabled to live their lives at home rather than in an institution such as a hospital or nursing facility This can be performed safely and securely, and cost-effectively to provide people will fuller and longer lives.
