CareView Communications, Inc. ("CareView" or the "Company") (OTCQB:
CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare industry,
announced today that it received approval from the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office on its "System and Method for Documenting Patient
Procedures" patent, a module contained in CareView's ProcedureView
documentation system (Patent Nos. US8,471,899 and US8,676,603 B2,
respectively). This patent builds on CareView's existing patents, and
when used in conjunction with the CareView System's® patient
monitoring system, can employ a method to identify, record, and preserve
the video logs of a patient’s bedside procedures. By interfacing with a
dedicated remote or other legacy device, health care providers can
quickly indicate the beginning and end of a medical procedure being
performed at bedside. The ProcedureView module then prioritizes the
video of the procedure within the video record and prepares it for
upload to central storage at the healthcare facility.
CareView has also received approval on its "System and Method for Using
a Video Monitoring System to Prevent and Manage Decubitus Ulcers in
Patients" (Patent No. US8,675,059). Patients who remain in the same
position for an extended period of time are subject to reduced blood
flow in areas of the body experiencing pressure, and this reduced blood
flow can cause the development of pressure ulcers. The algorithms used
in this patent perform an image analysis to detect the position of a
patient in the bed, and how to relate those positions to prescribed
postures designed to prevent the formation of pressure ulcers.
Steven Johnson, CareView's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "These
important patents add to our intellectual property portfolio and provide
validation for hospitals using our monitoring systems that there is not
another product on the market like ours. With these patents, our
intellectual property portfolio expands to 5 issued patents, 8 patents
pending and 22 trademarks."
