The agreement provides exclusive worldwide rights for Delphi Medical Systems to market, sell and distribute software that will facilitate short-and long-range digital communication between a hand-held personal desk assistant and medical devices to enable monitoring of devices such as I.V. pumps, vital signs monitors and respiratory devices.
With their hand-held PDA or from their PC, health care practitioners will be able to start, stop or alter a patient’s medication delivery or therapy or monitor their vital signs, remotely.
These software packages will make Delphi Medical Systems the only provider of easy-to-use handheld devices that can monitor and even control from a remote location several different medical devices, said Christophe Sevrain, Delphi Medical Systems managing director.
The combination of Delphi Medical’s devices with this software application enhancement helps create a cost and time saving solution for health care providers, allowing them to optimize their resources and dedicate them where patients need it most, Sevrain added.
The software can be used with any Windows CE-based PDA with global reach for easy remote use. A PDA using the software can also be synchronized with a desktop, enabling doctors and nurses to continuously update, view, exchange and print patients’ information.
