More on telemedicine in the UK.... pilot program beginning to release results...it is formatted to work with and assist the GP with cardio care...will we see a community of our fellow Brits replacing their wrist watches with devices such as this one soon...and with the support of NHS...I guess time will tell...how connected will one be in the near future. Technology as such is a good thing, but the stress of the current patient/physician relationship as we know it today is certainly being put to the test...BD
The NHS National Technology Adoption Hub for healthcare, which was unveiled in Manchester, has chosen
Broomwell HealthWatchs advanced cardiac monitoring service as one of just three advanced healthcare solutions to promote across the UK. Based in Manchester Royal Infirmary the newly formed Hub has been set up to ensure that NHS patients across England will benefit from new, cost-effective, life-saving technologies such as the 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) telemedicine service from telemedicine specialist Broomwell HealthWatch.
Our basic vital signs monitor, the MiniClinic, looks like a wristwatch. It communicates with the HEALTHWATCH call centre through a base station located in your house (or office if you wish). This means you can have a wide freedom of movement throughout your daily routine.
The MiniClinic vital signs monitor looks just like a wristwatch. You can be secure in the knowledge that a health professional is always just a button-press away.
The subscription of £ 29.99 / month entitles subscribers to call the centre as often as required and whenever they feel any unease or require reassurance
The service does not require the purchase of any equipment however such diagnostic tools are highly recommended so as to enable the centre to make proper diagnosis
