CYBERNET
MEDICAL MOVES TOWARD OPEN SYSTEM TELEHEALTH MODEL
Cybernet
Medical recently announced that future telehealth
products
based on its patented MedStar™ technology
will leverage its
outpatient web-based electronic health record system, in order to
move away from proprietary outpatient medical data hub and
presentation hardware appliances.
"The
MedStar electronic record system already supports
data
acquisition through phone, broadband, and database
standards." said
Joe Long, product manager for MedStar products. “We
believe that the
future of telehealth will be implemented through
delivery via the
standard IT and cellular infrastructure using open
public data
exchange standards. Cybernet Medical and MedStar
will continue to be
at the forefront of this evolution.”
Consumer
product producers and health/wellness monitoring companies
that would like to leverage Cybernet Medical’s
web-based electronic
record, presentment technology, and intellectual
property can
incorporate Cybernet Medical data protocols into
their products for
instant telehealth application support free of
charge. For more
information on this opportunity, contact Cybernet
Medical:
1-800-CYBERNET,
or via e-mail at sales 'at' cybernetmedical.com.
PALSTAR
AND KOKO PEAK PRO AVAILABILITY UPDATES
As
part of Cybernet Medical's move toward open data
exchange standards, we have discontinued our
proprietary PALStar device.
Support will continue for existing users, with all future MedStar
structured dialog methods using open platform public web and
cellular messaging standards.
Further,
the Koko Peak Pro COPD Monitor has been removed from
the MedStar Store, as the manufacturer is no longer
offering
this model. Existing units will continue to work
with MedStar
devices, but new spirometry orders will be filled
with the newer
models listed in the MedStar Store.
