iVisit Rx Wins 1st Place in CTIA Wireless 2009(R) CTIA E-Tech Awards for Innovation in Enterprise & Vertical - Healthcare Solution

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- iVisit, LLC is proud to announce that its iVisit Rx telemedicine platform won first place in the Fourth Annual CTIA Emerging Technologies (E-Tech) Awards in the Healthcare category. The E-Tech Awards are designed to give industry recognition and exposure to the best wireless products and services. Nearly 300 applications were submitted and reviewed by a panel of recognized members of the media, industry analysts and executives.

iVisit's core technology enables face-to-face communication between medical practitioners and patients, allowing for remote patient treatment and monitoring. It works across IP and 3G+ networks and allows connectivity between mobile phones, desktops, laptops, and mobile diagnostic devices. Other iVisit capabilities include photo sharing and messaging, remote patient monitoring, session recording for medical records, GPS location based services, and soon wireless integration with Blood Pressure Monitors, Glucometers, and other vital sign monitoring devices.

Beta versions of the application are currently running on Windows Mobile with touch screens and PCs.

"iVisit's video conferencing and data services running on Windows Mobile are a good example of high value 3G services that are now possible," said Steve Hegenderfer, group product manager for Windows Mobile at Microsoft Corp. "The Windows Mobile platform makes it possible for developers, such as iVisit, to easily build compelling applications with a familiar programming language and top-level industry tools."

iVisit and its partners are developing iVisit Rx as a telemedicine and assisted living platform that combats soaring healthcare costs. For example, CELLUCARE is helping patients manage their diabetes condition by providing coaching and intervention, which reduces the likelihood of medical events that incur higher costs and improves quality of the patients' mobile lifestyle. Nurse Practitioners talk face-to-face with patients in their homes using 2-way video over mobile phones powered by iVisit Rx.

A second iVisit Rx partner, Wound Technology Network (WTN), offers a distributed wound treatment program where two wound specialists (one on location, one connected remotely) simultaneously assess and treat patient wounds. Through its centralized specialist call center, care management software, and use of iVisit Rx, WTN offers patients a level of wound care expertise, standardized protocols, and quality of care that rivals the best specialty wound care clinics.
