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:

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.

CYBERNET MEDICAL SUPPORTS HHQI
