Biosign Technologies Inc
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BIOSIGN INTRODUCES CLOUD-BASED PLATFORM FOR COMPREHENSIVE OUTPATIENT FACILITIES MANAGEMENT, AT MEDICA 2014
After acquiring AioMed, Canadian manufacturer teams with Caritas, Germany’s largest home and nursing care provider, to develop innovative software suite,
MARKHAM, Ontario, October 22, 2014 – Biosign Technologies Inc. (TSXV: BIO) will return to MEDICA, the world’s largest annual medical trade fair, November 12-15 in Düsseldorf, Germany – armed with new software to meet the world-wide challenges of managing and operating outpatient medical care facilities including nursing homes, extended care homes, and home care agencies.
“We believe our new cloud-based suite changes the whole paradigm of outpatient care of elderly,” says Dr. Michael Gross, CEO of Biosign. “We are now offering the very first platform that provides complete facility and patient management, document management, prescription management, wound management, and social networking – all designed especially for long-term care, nursing home, and extended care providers.”
Since its successful MEDICA debut last year, Biosign has acquired majority control of leading German software developer AioMed GmbH (formerly MECK).
“AioMed (All-in-one Medical) was also attractive because it already had a framework contract with Caritas, which operates 25,000 of its own care facilities and has about 1.2 million employees/helpers and consequently provides 40 per cent of nursing and elderly care in Germany,” explains Dr. Gross. “The management platform developed by AioMed together with Caritas can save organizations like Caritas vast amounts of time and money, while providing higher quality care to patients. It is a platform care providers world-wide will need as they face up to the flood of new patients expected from an aging population, coupled with increasing shortages of doctors.”
Besides its Toronto-area world headquarters and another Canadian base in St. John, New Brunswick, Biosign has offices in New York and Dubai as well German offices in Heidelberg and at the Caritas facility in Buchen.
At MEDICA 2014, Biosign will also feature other products including: its Pulsewave™ vital health signs patient monitor unveiled at MEDICA last year; QCARE with Healthanywhere™, which links with the Pulsewave to provide a remote monitoring solution; as well as ClinicServer, Biosign’s internet-based clinic management software platform.
To learn more about Biosign’s products and services, please visit us during MEDICA at the Ontario, Canada Pavilion, Hall 16, Booth F44 – under the red maple leaf.
