Monday January 8, 6:04 am Eastern Time iMetrikus Chooses Wireless Knowledge to Create Mobile Health Management Application Wireless Solution To Ease Online Patient Diagnostics Reporting SAN DIEGO--(BW HealthWire)--Jan. 8, 2001--Wireless Knowledge Inc., a Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) and QUALCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq:QCOM - news) company, Monday announced plans to develop a wireless solution for iMetrikus, developer of MyHealthChannel.com and a provider of eCare and patient CRM solutions, creating a new class of online health care monitoring. The solution, which will be available in the first half of 2001, will enable patients and caregivers to upload personal diagnostics from any Internet-enabled device -- allowing for more frequent health readings and patient mobility. Today, patients and caregivers are tied to the desktop PC -- using a cable connection to transfer diagnostics from various metrics devices like blood glucose monitors. For example, blood glucose data is sent to sites like MyHealthChannel.com where it is read, analyzed, sent directly to doctors or caregivers, and/or maintained in an overall comprehensive, personal health file. iMetrikus is collaborating with Wireless Knowledge to move these types of data transfers to mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and a wide variety of other Internet-equipped wireless devices, affording patients more freedom while still maintaining a comprehensive, quality environment. ``The primary purpose of the iMetrikus solution is to motivate patients to participate more in their own treatment, and to provide a structure for more effective communication with their health care team -- ultimately leading to improved outcomes,'' said Harvey R. Colten, M.D., president and chief medical officer of iMetrikus. ``In working with Wireless Knowledge, we are taking Internet diagnostics to the next level by granting patients the freedom to send and receive data -- from wherever they are, as often as needed -- to monitor their medical condition.'' ``Building this custom wireless solution with iMetrikus will provide their health care partners and patients with unparalleled ease of use in uploading and downloading diagnostic data to mobile devices,'' said Eric V. Schultz, chairman and CEO of Wireless Knowledge. ``Health care is becoming a hot market for wireless applications that can truly make a difference and help to save lives. This win further strengthens our expertise in this growing area.'' With a commitment to ensure interactive access to the latest personal health management tools, iMetrikus' solutions are designed to give patients the personalized knowledge and resources they need.
