HealthPALMarketed by: MedApps Inc

HealthPAL is the central component of the MedApps Remote Health Monitoring Solution, an integrated set of tools that allows patients to track and share detailed health data. Using embedded cellular and Bluetooth technology, the compact “hands-off” device wirelessly transmits data from compatible devices—such as glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, scales, and pulse oximeters—to a secure central server. Patients can track readings using an electronic health record (EHR) or online medical records service, such as Microsoft HealthVault or Google Health. The data can also be accessed by health care providers, either through the patient’s EHR or through HealthCOM, MedApps’ Web-based patient management system.
