The Biosign Pulsewave(TM) Monitor is an end-to-end solution for non-invasive monitoring, analysis and reporting of health data. The Pulsewave(TM) cuff painlessly captures the pulse waveform from the subject's radial artery and transmits it to secure servers in the Cloud. Biosign algorithms are employed to analyze the data in seconds in order to generate reports that include blood pressure, heart beat anomalies and other vital sign measurements. Pulsewave(TM) is the only OTC health monitor that shows users the actual heart beating - live, in real-time. In addition, online Pulsewave(TM) analysis and reporting tools give patients and healthcare providers secure access to current and historical health information.
Healthanywhere(TM) is a clinical-grade patient monitoring platform that collects vital sign data from a variety of FDA-cleared medical devices including blood pressure cuffs, pulse oximeters, scales and glucose meters. For users, the gathering of vital signs is instantaneous and seamless; wireless automated bluetooth devices gather the data. For clinicians, we offer a powerful Clinical Portal where alerts, charts and printable reports can be accessed in a secure, encrypted cloud-based environment. Our smart-card enabled Healthanywhere(TM) Kiosk delivers easy, secure, convenient vital sign monitoring and tracking to public places such as pharmacies, employers and schools.
