EHSI: US Senate Previews Benefits of New Wireless Medical Technology

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Emerging Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EHSI) applauded news that the US Senate Committee on Aging was beginning to concentrate on the benefits of new wireless medical technology, a sector that includes the Company’s MedAnywhere iPhone application which is currently in development. The Committee began the review last week. The effort, loosely called e-Health or e-Care, combines health-care technology with 21st-century Internet connectivity. It will allow doctors to interact with their patients through innovations such as video chats, telephone health checkups, and home-health monitoring devices that relay data over wireless Internet connections. Recent healthcare reform is expected to be a boon to this new industry sector.

“The development of the broadband network and health information technologies has the potential to truly transform health care and simultaneously enable better outcomes and lowering costs”

“The development of the broadband network and health information technologies has the potential to truly transform health care and simultaneously enable better outcomes and lowering costs,” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).

Testifying before the Committee, Dr. Mohit Kaushal, Healthcare Director at the Federal Communications Commission, told the Committee “Five percent of Medicare beneficiaries, who in most cases have one or more chronic conditions, constitute 43 percent of Medicare spending, but there’s a set of broadband-enabled health information technology, both now and emerging from development, that can mitigate many of these issues and reduce the cost of care while improving clinical outcomes.”

EHSI took the lead in the new mobile Telemedicine industry through their prior licensing and development of an extraordinary mobile cellular-based communications platform for ambulances. This system was originally the brainchild of Dr. Red Duke and was funded through a $20 million US Department of Defense grant to the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston. UT then engaged Texas A&M to fully develop the system.
