What Sets Us Apart

FDA Clearance / Health Canada.
MedApps has gone through the rigorous task of building its Quality Management System (QMS) and has received 2 FDA Clearances:  K062377 (Glucose) and K083862 (HealthPAL, Scale, Blood Pressure and Pulse Oximeter). This is one of our proudest achievements:  Being FDA Cleared.  We have taken the time and made the financial and resource commitment to make sure that we are in compliance with all applicable laws, and have patient safety, privacy and well being at the forefront of our minds at all times. MedApps is now in the process of preparing its 3rd FDA submission that contribute additional functionality including:  Peak Flow, Pedometer, PT/INR, HealthHUB (Docking Stations) and more.

MedApps is now Health Canada cleared.

ISO 13485:2003 / ISO 9001:2008 / MDD / CE Mark.
MedApps has received its ISO 13485:2003, ISO 9001:2008, and CE Mark issued by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).   The completion of this multi-year project will enable MedApps to distribute throughout Europe, and the ISO 13485 needed for Health Canada.

Mobile / Portable.
The MedApps Solution is completely mobile and not required to be tethered to a "point of care" location. This portability allows more patients to be monitored in a very effective manner and helps increase compliance. Patients can take it with them wherever they need to be: at work, on the road, or in their homes. Furthermore, it provides trusted independence for senior family members who can be looked after from a distance, diabetic children who can be monitored while at school, or any other individual who needs just a touch of guided care. Clearly, our system is highly adaptable in order to fit a variety of lifestyles.

Increased ROI / Patient Compliance.
Clients using the MedApps System have reported a significant Return on Investment (ROI) through increased patient compliance, lowering costs by keeping patients out of costlier disease states. Clients can realize cost savings not only with the top tier healthcare spenders, but by being proactive rather than reactive with a larger patient population.

Utilizes Off-the-Shelf Devices.
One of the greatest values of the MedApps Solution is the ability to integrate with off-the-shelf medical monitors like those commonly found in retail pharmacies. The strength of this value proposition lies in the fact that patients are more likely to use devices that they may already own and are familiar with.

Simple to Setup & Use.
One of the strongest features of the MedApps System is its ease of use. It is very simple to setup the HealthPAL Mobile Health Monitoring Device and use it right out of the box. After charging the unit, users can have readings transmitted to their health record in minutes – there are no drivers to download or software to install.

Remote Updating - Firmware "Over the Air".
MedApps’ HealthPAL and HealthHUB Smart Dock have the ability to update firmware over the air in order to save on expensive costly home visits by care providers and technicians. This cost savings in system deployment and maintenance represents a significant ROI.

One Solution Does Not Fit All
Although technology is everywhere, from laptop computers to smart phones, the fact remains that the groups accounting for the largest share of healthcare costs, such as senior and impoverished populations may not even have access to technology. MedApps’ HealthPAL is dedicated to transmitting health information only, this personal health device is less likely to be misused or abused in ways that are typically associated with cell phone and computer options for health monitoring.

Adaptable and Adoptable Technology.
The MedApps System is a highly-advanced, well engineered solution that is very ease to use. We’ve taken care to engineer a device that is adaptable and adoptable by users who may or may not be comfortable with technology. HealthPAL functionality is completely automated, working in the background with no buttons to push or menus to navigate in order to transmit readings.

Interface to Electronic Health Records.
The MedApps System sends data seamlessly into common online medical records services like Microsoft HealthVault and Google Health, as well as enterprise level Electronic Health Records (EHR). Our flexible, open architecture allows us to constantly add new EHR systems to our integration capabilities.

Online Patient Management Tools.
MedApps’ HealthCOM, is a web-based application / portal that allows healthcare providers to monitor and review HealthPAL user readings, establish patient thresholds, trigger automated calls, and generate reports in various file formats. These valuable tools can represent a considerable return on investment as a supplement / enhancement to a care management program.

Unique Audio Capability.
HealthPAL enables compatible medical monitors to "speak" readings to the user and issue reminders – regardless of which device is connected. HealthPAL’s speech feature brings added value for users who may be sight impaired and the adjustable volume can be completely turned off if desired. HealthPAL will have the ability to remotely download new voice files “over the air” for multi-lingual capability.

Open Platform / Add-On Functionality.
In the future, MedApps will be adding additional functionality to the HealthPAL including, Medication reminders, bi-directional survey questions (recorded back to the server), PERS functionality and CDMA technology. Our open platform can allow us to add wireless transceivers to communicate with implantable devices. Large storage capacity internal SD card and the ability to include 2G or Broadband telecom capability, gives HealthPAL the versatility to be used as an event monitor (e.g. cardiac event monitoring) with a transition to daily collection of bio-metric patient data.

Kit Customization / Patient Fulfillment.
Our ability to configure "Kits" tailored to monitor chronic disease such as diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, etc., allows us to ship directly to the patient. Thus, it eliminates the need for our clients to take and manage inventory. This flexibility combined with our simple set-up / use, and integration with online EHRs makes patient fulfillment extremely easy.
