SPHERE – Smart Pocket HEalth Record – is a new
solution for remote patient monitoring (RPM).
Current mobile devices for telemedicine require
data connection (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) in order to perform a routine test and
send the collected measures to a healthcare professional in real-time. This
increases the cost of the device for the patient, or for the insurance company,
or for the national healthcare.
SPHERE, on the contrary, only requires a smartphone
or tablet and works with any standard medical device without data connection. The
SPHERE App is easily downloadable
and the patient has simply to take a picture of the medical device’s screen with
the measured output. SPHERE automatically
recognizes the device, the health parameter and sends the measured value to the
telemedicine center of interest. In addition, geolocation, day and time of the
acquisition, patient specific and medical device information are encrypted and
stored for further medical consultation. In the case of values “out of range”, SPHERE immediately alerts the
clinician as well the patient.
SPHERE is easy to use, affordable and can be used on
multiple devices and different kind of measures.
SPHERE, all around you!
