4HomeMedia Launches Broadband Home Health Service

There will be servers in the home before long...the Microsoft parody of "What is a server doing in our house" is in fact becoming a reality and this is another example of a user portal which part is a screen, much like the Media Center that will centralize information for ease of use and look up...as well as using a remote control devices...and this will connect with all your mobile wireless devices as well...the site has a nice screenshot presentation that explains more in detail...this is the year to seriously take a look at how you are managing information over flow and the key is new software and sometimes new hardware...BD

Las Vegas, NV – January 7, 2008 - 4HM unveiled its home health solution, a for-fee monthly service enabling independent living (IL) for seniors via remote monitoring from their care-givers. This innovative

solution consists of ControlPoint™ software running in a Home HealthPoint gateway with various sensors in the home and a multi-party portal user-interface (UI) generated from the backend hosted Portal Server. By creating a passive monitoring network around a senior in their normal home setting, both family members and professional care-givers can log into a personalized Web page and get historical trend data, real-time status updates, and proactive alerts about the health and well-being for that monitored elder. The Portal Server delivers three unique and customized user-experiences based on the same data generated within the home– for the senior in their house, for the family member caregiver remotely, and for a medical or nursing facility remotely.
