Mobile Healthcare software news: May 1 - 12, 2006

May 12, 2006 -- (MobileVillage) -- Below is a roundup of recently announced mobile healthcare products.

Telzuit Medical Technologies is in the final stages of launching its first product, the FDA-approved Bio-Patch Wireless Heart Monitor, a full 12-lead, wireless holter monitor, which measures, records, and transmits physiological signals associated with a patient's cardiovascular system to a Bluetooth enabled Treo handheld.

The Bio-Patch is attached to a patient's chest and consists of six electrodes that are imbedded in a disposable bandage-like strip. The Bio-Patch captures electrical impulses of the patient's heart and transmits this information via Bluetooth to the patient's Treo smartphone. The phone receives, records, and stores the electrical activity of the patient's heart. According to Telzuit, data is transmitted every two to four hours to an independent diagnostic testing facility that stores, and processes this data. Healthcare providers can rapidly access reports via a dedicated HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)-compliant Web site.

Telzuit plans to give the Bio-Patch units to doctors offices in Central Florida this summer at no charge, expecting that health insurance will cover the costs.
