Heartline Telemedical Services, a company that offers tele-health check ups and tele-diagnostics with advice, has tied up with Lifeline Multi-Speciality Hospitals to provide wireless medical monitoring for patients.
The monitoring and check-ups could be done through equipment provided by Cardguard, an Israel-based company that provides telemedicine solutions globally. The technology allows patients to be monitored through devices such as Pocket PC, Java, Bluetooth, GPRS and WiFi.
Some of the medical tests that can be conducted are ECG, blood pressure, pulse, glucose and saturation. The data would be transferred from the remote location to Lifeline, which has dedicated a 30-member team to monitor this data, and the diagnosis would take place accordingly.
The technology is available in two packages - one for corporates, which would include a complete check-up including ECG, BP, blood glucose, oximetry and spinometry, and a single user package, which would include basic heart and blood checkups.
