Critical-care physicians can now rely on their iPhones and iPads to get patient monitoring information thanks to the latest AirStrip PATIENT MONITORING solution recently released by GE Healthcare and AirStrip Technologies.
According to company officials, this solution promises to securely deliver patient monitoring information to physicians and enables them to interact with, manipulate and zoom in on more than 100 clinical measurements and access physiologic data and monitoring waveforms, anytime and anywhere.
Using the AirStrip PATIENT MONITORING, physicians get to be mobile which makes them more efficient to take informed clinical decisions across and beyond hospital boundaries.
The technology adds on to GE Healthcare and AirStrip Technologies’ initial joint offering, AirStrip CARDIOLOGYTM, which provides cardiologists with digitally enhanced and comparative cardiac ECG data that can be accessed on iPads and iPhones, according to officials.
“As doctors increasingly use smartphones and tablets, GE Healthcare is committed to driving convergence between mobile technologies, biomedical devices and clinical information systems,” said Thierry Leclercq, general manager, Life Care Solutions, GE Healthcare.
Leclercq said that AirStrip PATIENT MONITORING combines GE Healthcare’s clinical innovations and AirStrip’s powerful mobile health technologies to empower doctors with highly interactive patient monitoring information, when and where it is needed. It also supports physician decision-making and ultimately, patient safety and care.
Hospitals can feel more comfortable with usage of AirStrip PATIENT MONITORING, as it can be a major help out to nurse, when they require immediate consultation, officials said. They can also easily locate physicians be it anywhere and access critical patient information before determining appropriate care approaches.
“The mobile technology platform at the heart of AirStrip PATIENT MONITORING can revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered by decentralizing secure, actionable patient information and making it accessible virtually anytime, anywhere,” said Cameron Powell, M.D., president and chief medical officer, AirStrip.
Powell said that AirStrip PATIENT MONITORING unites a strong user experience with the ability for clinicians to make faster, more informed treatment decisions via their mobile device, which can then improve patient care and overall workflow in ways that doctors are already embracing.
GE Healthcare is currently offering the AirStrip PATIENT MONITORING to the U.S. hospitals.
