BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ--(Marketwire - April 16, 2009) - ExpressMD™ Solutions, a joint
venture formed by Authentidate Holding Corp. and EncounterCare Solutions
(PINKSHEETS : ECSL ), Inc. to provide remote patient monitoring telehealth
systems and services that improve care for patients with chronic
conditions, announced today that its remote patient health monitoring
system has received 510(k) market clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). ExpressMD™ plans to initiate manufacturing and
sales of its Electronic House Call™ monitoring devices and services
immediately.
The Electronic House Call System will be used by healthcare professionals
who manage patients with chronic conditions, such as heart disease, COPD
and diabetes. Patients are able to use the monitoring devices located in
their home to measure their vital signs and to motivate them through
education and reminders. The Electronic House Call monitor securely
transmits this information to its data center making it conveniently
available to each licensed care provider via a secure website. By remotely
receiving patient data daily, licensed care providers can adjust treatment
accordingly and provide an enhanced level of care.
Chris Doherty, Director of Technology Development, stated, "The Electronic
House Call is an easily used technology and can be used for many patients
with different chronic diseases, and as an important tool for post
operative patients. Additionally, the technology has generated a lot of
interest from wellness management companies as incentives for managing
healthcare goals in the workplace. We are extremely pleased with the
acceptance of the large, colorful touch screen that is an important feature
in the use of the product."
Rogers Kirven, CEO of Cyntrist, a Diabetes Care Company, stated that
Cyntrist has significant interest from its current customer base and is
currently finalizing contracts for the Electronic House call for its
nationally based Managed Care Companies. "We expect that it will be
significant to our ob-gyn pregnancy and diabetes monitoring program."
