WHY A DEDICATED SYSTEM?

BL Healthcare has designed a remote patient healthcare monitoring platform around the premise that remote patient vital sign data collection and information management requires a dedicated, open system that must be reliable, consistent, and secure.

Data and information has to be reliable as doctors will use this as the basis for making diagnostic decisions. Consistency is required as patients and doctors will require that the system can be used over a long period of time. Security requires that the system is safe and the data is protected from outside dangers such as viruses and spyware.

Options for external interfaces or vehicles for interacting with the information from a remote location (location outside that of the patient) are flexible and can be enabled through a PC, cell phone, dedicated interface, or other interface devices.

The requirement that some systems have with regards to updating operating systems, upgrading drivers, and upgrading security poses a major challenge from a maintenance and consistency standpoint. BL Healthcare provides the reliability, consistency, and security required for next generation remote healthcare management applications through a dedicated, open platform that also provides the flexibility to leverage multiple external interface options.
