Evaware Ltd, developer of the Project E-vita Electronic Patient Record Solution
based in the Isle of Man & England, has today expanded its Integrated Remote Telehealth
Monitoring functionality to include data collection via a Wi-Fi enabled Telehealth
Monitor and also via Blackberry and Mobile Phones. The integration of these two
extra hardware platforms now brings a total of 4 different hardware technologies
that can be combined under the Project E-vita Solution to remotely monitor patients
in their own homes and while on the move.
In 2008 Evaware Ltd integrated the Tunstall RTX Telehealth monitors which also included
a GSM mobile network derivative. This month Evaware Ltd has supplemented that release
with integration of the digiO2 Care Pal device. The digiO2 Care Pal manufactured
by a subsidiary of SINBON Electronics has among many other features, Wi-Fi 802.11
networking support. This means that patient’s own broadband connections can be used
for transmission of clinical data back to their record.
The Blackberry/Mobile phone Gateway solution lets patients use simple devices like
Blood Pressure meters to take readings in their own home which are transferred via
Bluetooth to their BlackBerry or Mobile phone. The phone then securely transmits
the data to the patient record system in Project E-vita for evaluation by the Healthcare
professional. This development gives Healthcare facilities and Telehealth Providers
unrivalled flexibility in the monitoring of patients. At the same time, the use
of mobile phones and BlackBerry devices removes the need for, and therefore the
cost of a Telehealth Monitor/Hub.
Managing Director for Evaware Ltd, Nick Dyer, said “We aren’t for one moment suggesting
that the mobile phone solution is suitable for all patient scenarios however we
believe the variety of hardware we now offer means we are well placed to meet our
clients’ needs. Innovation is a key strategy of ours in keeping costs down and functionality
rich. The integration of the digiO2 Care Pal system brings another important development
to our Project E-vita platform as we have had repeated calls from prospective clients
to provide for collection of data via patient’s existing broadband services.”
Many of the peripheral devices like Blood Pressure meters and Scales etc are interchangeable
between the platforms ensuring that customer investment in these devices can be
maximised. All the hardware platforms are integrated within one hosted Project E-vita
Patient Record System which operates on a simple “Per patient” subscription tariff.
Being a full Electronic Patient Record System delivers more than simple “Monitoring”.
Physicians and other healthcare professionals can keep detailed notes and clinical
records about each patient in the system. A powerful feature of Project E-vita is
Clinical Alerting. The Physician can create tailor made clinical thresholds for
each patient that the system then uses to evaluate data as it arrives and attribute
a classification or alert level. The alerting can even send SMS messages and emails
to physicians to alert them that certain thresholds have been breached.
