The MedApps mobile, wireless, health ,monitoring technologies are developed with platform-independent software based on an open architecture for easy integration with large healthcare organizations.

The MedApps System remotely connects a patient to their healthcare provider or partner.  When a clinical reading is taken, for example from a MedApps Bluetooth enabled glucose meter, the patient’s information is instantly transmitted to their cell phone. The phone can either act as a “hub” collecting readings from one or more patient devices (glucose, scale, blood pressure monitor, etc.) or transmit the clinical result. When used as a hub, the unit has the ability to collect, store and transmit the information in near real-time, to the central MedApps server which then forwards the data to a specified portal at the patient’s healthcare providers’ facility for review and action.

Pre-set thresholds are established for each patient by their healthcare providers.  When a reading occurs that is outside of these thresholds, an alert may occur and the patient may be contacted using a pre-determined mode. One such mode is an interactive voice response system which may ask for additional behavioral information such as, “Have you exercised today?”  “Have you taken your medication?”.  The responses to these questions are then combined with the biometric data already received, and will give healthcare professionals the ability to have greater insight into a patient’s immediate health. Teens may request text messaging (to reduce peer influences) while the elderly may need set up a phone message or a direct call from their caregiver.

The MedApps System is a dynamic new way to assist patients with chronic diseases that enables them to live a more active lifestyle at work, school or in their recreational activities, while being assured that they are effectively monitored from a distance by their healthcare provider. Using a 2.0 wireless system like the MedApps System delays the complications of the patient’s loss of mobility, loss of control and onset of deeper depression symptoms or, a need to increase coping mechanisms (all increase healthcare costs). It is a truly invisible health monitoring integrated seamlessly into the user’s everyday life.
