Blood Pressure Monitors |
The key enablers of the shift to hypertension self-monitoring
are technological advances that provide accurate readings in a
format that consumers can understand, clearly indicating when a
follow-up visit to a caregiver is needed. Because of the
associated morbidity and mortality and the cost to society,
hypertension is an important public health challenge. ....

The ability of patients to monitor their own serum levels is
deemed to be a critical tool in reducing the pathological
effects of poorly controlled disease factors. For conditions
other than diabetes, the vast majority of monitoring has until
recently been performed in physician offices or similar
healthcare settings. The convergence of new measurement
technologies, patient demographics and managed care cost
initiatives is driving patient monitoring for a number of .....

For the millions of patients in the US and worldwide prescribed
warfarin for oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT), the ability to
monitor coagulation rates and adjust drug dosage to optimize
therapeutic outcomes is a critical element of patient care. The
availability of self-testing monitors provides patients with an
opportunity to self-test and avoid frequent caregiver visits.
Compared to blood glucose monitoring, OAT self-testing presents
a higher level of complexity and risk, placing a....

Glucose Monitors |
For diabetes patients, glucose monitoring is a way of
life, a several-times-per-day routine critical to
physiological health. But while the traditional finger
prick method has been a standard disease management tool
for decades, issues of patient compliance and the
limitations of current methods in detecting short-term
fluctuations in glucose levels have brought a host of
companies ........ more

Glucose Monitors |
The convergence of small-scale electronics and sophisticated
biocompatible product designs is giving hope for a better
future to millions of diabetes patients worldwide.
Continuous glucose monitors that are designed ....... more

In-Patient Monitors & Monitoring Systems |
As the health care sector continues to search for ways to
control expenses and improve patient quality-of-care,
integrating the flow of patient information on a
facility-wide basis has been viewed as an essential
first-step in streamlining the management of patient care.
Extending integration beyond the wired hospital LAN via

Driven by advances in molecular probe design and biomarker
detection methodologies, new imaging agents that can improve
visualization of pathologies and cellular processes are
changing the practice of diagnostic medicine. The ability of
this new generation of........ more

Remote Cardiac Arrhythmia Monitors |
The current thinking in mobile cardiac monitoring incorporates a
design philosophy where patient comfort and independent
operation are the focus. To this end, the new generation of
ambulatory cardiac monitors is benefiting from the convergence
of light-weight materials, short-range device-to-device
communications technology and....more
