CYBeR-CARE.com Granted Patent On Its
Telemedicine
Technology
CYBeR-CARE, Inc.
(Nasdaq:CYBR - news)
received a patent award (No. 5987519) for a
broad-based
telemedicine system using voice, video and data
encapsulation for the purpose of
communicating medical
information between central monitoring stations and remote
patient
monitoring stations.
The company's
Electronic House Call System (EHC), an Internet-based system
that remotely
monitors chronically ill patients at
their home, will utilize this patented technology. The
patent
essentially covers all data-packet based remote
patient monitoring applications transmitted
over
standard telephone lines, cable television networks, ISDN,
DSL, all internet and intranet
configurations,
local and wide area networks, ATM networks, and
wireless communication
systems.
The
technology constitutes the core foundation of the emerging
$25 billion market that enables
healthcare
providers to improve access to medical services and lower
the cost of delivering
quality care to rural and
home-bound chronically ill patients.
CYBeR-CARE's
patented technology utilized via the Electronic House Call
System will
allow
healthcare providers to
monitor chronically ill patients at their home as well as
allow patients
to communicate to healthcare
providers and other patients. The EHC can also remotely
take
patients' vital signs and record their medical
information that can be accessed by medical
professionals
anywhere.
CYBeR-CARE already has an initial order
for 250 EHC Systems from Cambridge Medical
Centers of Deerfield Beach, Fla.
``By enabling
the ongoing monitoring of critical indicators of the
patients' health status
together
with improved
patient and provider access to essential information,
this technology should
dramatically enhance the
high quality of care and patient satisfaction. This
crucial step
forward
in healthcare services
capabilities should result in a reduced incidence of
unnecessary high
cost
interventions such as emergency
room visits, and an increased sophistication of
health
services
in the home and the workplace,''
said Max E. Stachura, M.D., Telemedicine Center
Director
at
the Medical College of Georgia and Georgia
Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in
Telemedicine.
Based in Boynton Beach, Fla., CYBeR-CARE is a
technology assisted disease management
company and also
operates physical, occupational and speech therapy
centers, and
pharmaceutical services and is one of, if
not the world's largest international air
ambulance
transport service. %
