Toronto, Canada - - Sept. 29, 2009 - CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (TSX-V: EKG) announced today the addition of their wireless ECG management system to their suite of GEMS (Global ECG Management System) products. GEMS Air builds on the GEMS platform and incorporates software capable of continuously receiving and managing recordings of the heart's activity (ECGs) over a wireless network instead of a land-line telephone network.
"The benefit of wireless monitoring to the cardiologist or cardiac service," said Dr. Anatoly Langer, chairman of CardioComm Solutions, "is that it provides a better diagnostic yield and improved patient care management. The continuous stream of monitoring information reflects a more complete picture of a patient's cardiac activity hour by hour, day to day, with abnormalities being detected earlier than, for example, with Holter monitoring."
GEMS Air permits continuous wireless transmission without the patient needing to call in information. Abnormalities are automatically recognized and sent to the medical team. Although some large call centers use a similar process with their own dedicated and exclusive devices, GEMS Air is the first time that there is an opportunity for patients and physicians to have a choice in selecting from a variety of wireless devices for their own direct use.
Additional Benefits
GEMS Air also provides:
· An open architecture for communication with devices from any heart ECG loop event recorder manufacturer (new and existing)
· Extensive and detailed standard and custom reports
· Reports posted to secure websites in real time
· Fully-scalable solutions and enterprises (small clinic to large hospital or call center)
· AutoAttendant(TM) module; computer-automated answering of event recorder transmissions (improving efficiency and reducing staffing)
· HL-7 compatibility and seamless EMR incorporation.
Cost & Availability
GEMS Air systems are FDA and Health Canada approved, and available immediately. Cost is dependent on set-up requirements; multi-year licenses and volume discounts are available.
