Tunstall Healthcare has announced
the launch of its RTX3371 telehealth monitor - an interactive
telehealth device with in-built GSM/GPRS mobile phone technology
that collects vital signs wirelessly from a range of external
devices such as weight scales and blood pressure cuffs.
The launch further expands Tunstall Healthcare's range of
telehealth products and solutions available to healthcare
organizations and providers in USA, which have been designed
to effectively monitor patients with chronic diseases in
the home.
In addition, the RTX3371 telehealth monitor's spoken voice
functionality allows it to collect subjective patient information
from patient questionnaires, and to automatically transmit
the data to a clinical backend software application based
on an open architecture interface.
According to Anthony
Taroni, Director of Sales at Tunstall: "The
availability of GSM/GPRS cellular coverage in the USA and
the rapid increase in the number of people replacing regular
phone lines with wireless and mobile phones has set new standards
for home hubs and the way they provide connectivity in order
to ensure effective telehealth delivery". Anthony Taroni
continues: "With the introduction of the RTX3371 GSM/GPRS-enabled
telehealth monitor, Tunstall Healthcare has taken an important
step forward in meeting today's and tomorrow's demand. This
truly wireless device offers service users the freedom to
place the device anywhere in the home independent of phone
plugs, increasing user satisfaction and acceptance."
Tunstall Healthcare supplies healthcare organizations and
providers with telehealth products, solutions and know-how
based on a flexible business model. In addition to the telehealth
monitors, Tunstall can deliver complete turnkey kits including
vital sign monitors.
Tunstall also offers flexible clinical triage software applications
designed to simplify the clinical workflow for healthcare
organizations performing remote monitoring of patients with
chronic diseases. The clinical triage applications effectively
allow nurses or physicians to analyze trending data, manage
patient care plans, and create reports and exchange data
with clinical information systems.
