eNotes Systems Plans to Enable Health Care at a Distance –
Just What the Doctor Ordered
Pacific Palisades, CA -- When it comes to consumer health care,
technology will never replace the human factor such as the
maverick medical genius of Dr. Gregory House depicted on FOX
TV’s House or the friendly general practitioner at a medical
center near you. But, telemedicine has the potential to extend
the human touch and transform the way health care is delivered. |

The
American Telemedicine Association defines telemedicine as the
use of medical information exchanged from one site to another
via electronic communications to improve patients' health
status. Whether telemedicine is defined using layman’s
terms—(the transmission of still images, video, and other forms
of medical data between rural and urban areas) or
tech-speak—(the use of advanced telecommunications technologies
for the delivery of clinical care), telemedicine is a,
multi-billion dollar market that is destined to improve consumer
health care around the globe.
The application may be as straightforward as two healthcare
professionals talking about a case over the phone or as
intricate as using satellite technology and video-conferencing
equipment to conduct a real-time consultation between medical
specialists in two different states or even countries.
As telemedicine technologies continues to experience rapid
growth, with companies like AT&T, Intel Corporation-Digital
Health Group, and Sony Electronics providing the bandwidth and
hardware, it allows innovative companies such as Los
Angeles-based eNotes Systems (OTCBB:ENSY), which is currently
developing their product suite, to make telemedicine a reality,
enabling physicians and other health care providers to examine,
treat and monitor patients remotely without compromising
standards of care.
"Simply stated, telemedicine is about enabling providers of
healthcare services to deliver quality care to individuals who
are remotely located from the specialty health care they need.
Whether it's allowing physicians to examine patients via the
Internet from miles away or continuing education for rural
health practitioners who may not be able to take part in
professional meetings or educational opportunities, telemedicine
is experiencing rapid expansion around the globe," said Jeff
Flammang, CEO of eNotes Systems.
For stock investors and early shareholders looking for high
growth investment opportunities, their next investment
opportunity may be in developmental stage telemedicine
technology companies. Whether an investment in telemedicine
benefits radiology--so specialists can read and interpret x-rays
on-line--or cardiology—so reports such as electrocardiograms
(EKGs) can be readily transmitted from an EKG machine for
reading and interpretation—it’s evident to eNotes Systems that
these kind of technologies in the health care industry are
needed and are here to stay, reaching doctors and patients alike
in all corners of the globe. |
