SMITHTOWN, NY, Aug. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- iGambit, Inc. (OTCBB: IGMB) is pleased to announce the company has signed an exclusive contract with Device Distributors, LLC, to expand its health monitoring and reporting system into Brazil, Argentina, and throughout South and Central America.
Device Distributors will represent iGambit subsidiary HealthDatix in the territory to facilitate the introduction of cloud data and trend data tracking, reporting, and analysis systems supported by HealthDatix’s wearable medical monitor, the BioDatix Health Band.
The BioDatix Health Band offers round-the-clock monitoring, passively collecting data on heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, sleep, and steps/distance/calories, without affecting the patient’s routine. The device delivers accurate, real-time syncing of data to the HealthDatix platform for use by the client’s Care Team of Professionals, Caregivers, Physicians and their staffs, and is also designed to reduce the time from a BioDatix Health Band wearer’s medical incident to the application of often lifesaving treatments.
BioDatix Health Band transmits data to an FDA certified back-end application, to produce trend reports and alerts. Identified “out of limit” or “unusual” baselines can be reported by HealthDatix to the client’s Care Team. The Care Team professionals can receive alerts and send messages to any or all of the Wearer, Caregiver, Physicians, and Physicians’ staff to facilitate better user engagement in managing their overall health.
Our new enhanced health monitoring Health Band offers strategic synergies in multiple markets, e.g. health care management, chronic health conditions, fitness, reducing costs in employee wellness programs and self-insured companies, private self-monitoring, and importantly the continuous real time monitoring of an employee’s health who performs work which has the potential for a major disaster e.g. train conductors, airplane pilots, truck drivers, etc.
The global wearable medical devices market size was valued at USD 3.9 billion in 2014 and is expected to grow with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28% over the forecast period. Increasing demand for technologically advanced wearable medical devices, rising awareness regarding physical fitness, the advent of new smartphone-linked healthcare applications, and growing demand for wireless connectivity in the healthcare industry are the key factors propelling the overall industry.
John Salerno, Chairman of iGambit stated: This partnership is an important step that will expand the market reach of HealthDatix, and create additional value for our customers and our stockholders. Device Distributors will provide the infrastructure to address the particular needs of institutional, legal, and logistic challenges in Brazil, Argentina, and throughout South and Central America.
About HealthDatix
The achievement of longer healthy lives for the population at large is our mission. Within any population there are some that are apparently healthy and some that are at risk. Consistent with our mission, we aggregate data and deliver accurate Information to a caregiver who must make vital decisions on a course of treatment for those at risk. Just as importantly however, is that the health data we collect from the apparently healthy group is compiled into historical data reports available to an attending physician during a client’s office visit or telephone conference. The Caregiver for both the “at risk” and “apparently healthy” populations will no longer only have available a snapshot of health monitoring readings during an office visit which can be misleading at best but also a patients’ vital signs over the course of a desired period of time.
We are also helping to shape the future of our nation’s health care system with robust leveraging of technology that enhances our ability to deliver value based healthcare to all populations without employing additional staff or additional burdens on the Caregivers. Our proprietary data analytics management facilitates the conducting of, and fully utilizing, the new opportunities inherent in the Wellness Visit program.
