Edison Awards Recognizes mHealth Leader MedApps as 2011 Best New Product Finalist

MedApps®, one of three remaining finalists in its category, provides an innovative wireless innovation platform featuring products and services for the remote monitoring of patients with chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension and congestive heart failure. The FDA-cleared MedApps System automatically collects health readings from popular retail medical monitors and forwards the data to the patient's electronic health record.  MedApps has demonstrated that its remote monitoring solutions-which it describes as simple, flexible and mobile-can help drive down healthcare costs and stabilize or improve patient health through proactive healthcare delivery, resulting in increased communication and compliance.

Great deal of success with HealthPAL

"We've already achieved a great deal of success with HealthPAL and our HealthCOM System," continues Dicks. "We realized early on that the solutions that would work best had to focus on the patients and care providers needs, during making the research function discretely in the background - and to accomplish this, one solution simply will not fit all."

The CloudCare platform allows for automated, remote installation and updating of firmware in the field, which in essence allows MedApps' devices to self-configure with patient monitors with little or no user interaction. This ideal of simple, seamless and "invisible" connectivity has been recognized in previous Edison Award winners just as Kindle?, OnStar® and Apple® iPhone?.
