Cyntrist to Utilize ExpressMD Solutions' Telehealth System to
Improve Diabetic Care BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., July 8 /PRNewswire/
-- ExpressMD Solutions, a joint venture formed by Authentidate
Holding Corp. and EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. to provide remote
patient monitoring telehealth systems and services that improve
care for patients, has signed its first user contract and
distribution agreement with Cyntrist, a comprehensive diabetic care
company headquartered in Central Florida. Cyntrist will distribute
Express MD's systems and services throughout the Southeastern U.S.
region. Initially Cyntrist will target Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
North Carolina, and South Carolina. ExpressMD Solutions' systems
and services enable unattended measurement of a patient's vital
signs and related health information. This patient data is securely
sent over the Internet to the patient's healthcare provider for
review. Cyntrist will utilize ExpressMD's remote patient monitoring
systems and telehealth services to monitor patients diagnosed with
Diabetes. Patients will be able to use Electronic House Call(TM)
equipped monitoring devices located in their home to record
personal health data, including glucose levels and weight.
ExpressMD Solutions' service will transmit the data to each
patient's care provider as it is collected. By remotely receiving
patient data daily, care providers can adjust treatment accordingly
and provide an enhanced level of care. In addition, ExpressMD's
solution reduces the need for regular office visits, reducing the
cost of care. "Cyntrist's decision to incorporate ExpressMD
Solutions' remote patient monitoring telehealth system and services
as part of its patient care capabilities, underscores the benefits
that telehealth monitoring systems offer patients and healthcare
providers," said Ronald Mills, Managing Director at ExpressMD
Solutions. "As a way to improve patient care and reduce costs,
telehealth systems have the power to change the landscape of
patient monitoring. We believe our solution is ahead of the curve
in this market and will be widely accepted by meeting a number of
monitoring applications going forward." In June 2008 the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that nearly 24
million Americans have diabetes (8% of the population), an increase
of more than three million in approximately two years. "By
combining our world-class proprietary Diabetes information
management system, Enhanced Diabetes Information System (EDIS(TM)),
with ExpressMD Solutions' remote patient monitoring telehealth
system, we are introducing a capability that goes above and beyond
what is currently available for treating patients with Diabetes. A
core advantage of this system is that it is easy for patients to
use and is cost effective compared to monitoring patients multiple
times per week in person. This is a very exciting opportunity for
patients, providers and heath insurers," said Rogers Kirven,
President of Cyntrist. About ExpressMD Solutions ExpressMD(TM)
