Electronic House Calls

IMTC worked with the Biomedical Interactive Technology Center, the Medical College of Georgia, and the US Army Medical Center at Fort Dietrich, Maryland, to develop the Electronic House Call, a home based medical monitoring system.  The system allows patients who are in stable condition, but need medical monitoring and evaluations, to return to their homes.  The systems, connected to the patients' homes via the Internet, provide two way video and audio conferencing between the patient and the medical professional at the hospital and measurement of a number of vital signs, including ECG, Blood Pressure, and Blood Oxygen level. The technology is now available as a commercial product from Cyber-Care, as a part of their EHC 400, 500, and 600 products. Cyber-Care is the exclusive licensee of the technology from Georgia Tech and the Medical College of Georgia.
