"t+ Medical's move into the
United States, along with our latest round of funding and
clinical validation, are testimony to the robustness of our
products, business model and also the future of healthcare,"
says Tim Clover, Chief Executive Officer of t+ Medical, Ltd. "As
chronic diseases reach epidemic proportions around the world,
our products and services allow healthcare systems to evolve
from traditional reactive episodic hospital based care to
continuous, proactive and preventative models of care with
real-time monitoring of patients."
Across multiple U.S. cellular networks and mobile phones, t+
Medical enterprise solutions enables healthcare professionals to
efficiently and effectively, remotely monitor, communicate and
gather patient information. t+ Medical's innovative technology
collects real-time patient data (for example, daily blood
glucose or blood pressure readings) using the patient's mobile
phone or Smartphone (including RIM and Palm), then processes and
stores this information on a secure server. Immediate,
personalized patient feedback is returned to the patient's
mobile phone to support and improve patient self management.
Healthcare professional, patient and family can view patient
data securely on the web. Healthcare professional can intervene
at anytime directly from the web to the patient's mobile phone,
via t+ secured text messaging technology to supply personalized
coaching or automated quality reminders.
Chronic diseases affect over half the U.S. population and have
an annual impact on the U.S. economy of over $1 trillion - which
could balloon to $6 trillion by the middle of the century. t+
Medical's V.P. and General Manager, Gary Abrahams states,
"Clearly not enough is being done in the United States. To have
any significant impact on improving the clinical and financial
outcomes associated with chronic disease patients we must
introduce technologies that can affect widespread utilization
throughout the U.S. population. By leveraging the most
ubiquitous device, the mobile phone, t+ Medical's enterprise
designed solutions will revolutionize the management and
monitoring of individuals living with chronic disease."
t+ Medical's clinically validated solutions can be offered as a
new patient or member service or be fully integrated into any
existing disease management, wellness, home health and e-Health
programs to improve patient or member compliance. In addition,

gather subject information for timely receipt and analysis of
subject data for clinical trials.
