RHarris, thanks for all your help, I am an RN...
with cardiovascular experience, the potential for the "Tracker"
is by all means very real!!! The price point of $300 sounds very attractive from a medical device point.
As the population grows older we will definitely be seeing a huge increase in cardiac related problems across the board. The doctors like to follow there pts. at home as much as possible . This could prove to be a God send to many if they can hook themselves up to this and be able to transmit a true 12 lead EKG via computer to the Drs. office.
I currently work in a 250 bed acute care hospital in the midwest, the best we can do now is fax a copy of an EKG to the Dr. after the pt. states he is having chest pain, to ba able to transmit a live EKG via computer line or telephone line could have a huge potential effect on pt. care. Rapid and accurate diagnoses of chest pain is critical in life saving interaction.
This has huge potential for rapid off site diagnoses and treatment.
This could bypass the long wait in ER's for cardiac pts.with chest pain, if they could be seen from their homes,via computer down load,
and told what meds. and in what amounts to take while the Dr. monitored the treatment in real time. The potential for elimination of unnecessary Dr. office and ER visits is enough for the insurance companies to stand up and take notice of this. Also the home health care industry will love it. This will be a very billable procedure that will be able to be done by skilled nursing staff all ready in place.
I would expect a quick approval by FDA, this is noninvasive and offers no side effects and has virtually no potential for injury to the user.
EKG tech. is over 100 years old.
I could go on and on on this but I think you get my drift...
Would like to see some better Press from this company, their releases don't really tell us the facts of potential revenue generation as they could. Would also think they could benefit from a good name change for the company.
As for the long awaited transcripts... should be interesting bought not really putting much into it sense it will not be a press release and the only people that will see it are the ones on this thread. We already want to believe in the company thats why we are here every week!
Anyway, from an RN's point of view the "Tracker" "sounds" very good and could prove to be very important tech for the millions with current heart disease and those of use developing it.
Will probably average this week and pick up another 50,000
Best of luck to all, Jim |
