SAN FRANCISCO, March 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cytta Corp.
(OTCQB: CYCA) -- Cytta Corp. announces the successful installation
and rollout of its CyttaConnect remote medical monitoring ecosystem
through the Heritage Provider Network's (HPN's) Glendale, CA location. The CyttaConnect
system, along with several of Cytta's ecosystem device partners
including A&D Medical, Nonin Medical and Entra Health Systems,
is being utilized to develop a new paradigm for delivering improved
care and wellness to their clients who can benefit from Cytta's
revolutionary remote monitoring system.
The Project: Create an easy-to-use, patient rewarding
remote care data collection and management system for chronically
ill and those with needs by using a portable, cellular phone system
and familiar FDA Bluetooth approved medical devices per
patient.
The Business Case: By leveraging Cytta's existing national
cellular phone infrastructure, HPN is adopting CyttaConnect's COTS
(common-off-the-shelf) Telehealth strategy to address the
healthcare needs of many. HPN's preventive health care
services are widely acknowledged to be among the broadest and most
advanced in the healthcare industry.
By partnering with CyttaConnect, the industry leader in mobile
phone remote patient monitoring systems, HPN ushers in the new era
of highly-scalable remote care systems approach to wellness while
simultaneously offering better patient personalization and seamless
plug-n-play performance.
CyttaConnect is the first total solution on the market that
enhances patient wellness while saving time and money. More
importantly, CyttaConnect isn't limited to one medical device for
data collection. CyttaConnect's works with any Bluetooth
device and seamlessly connects to their smartphone system providing
patients nationwide mobility.
"Our open-standards architecture and low-cost, highly scalable
system strategy is dramatically different than all other systems
out there," stated Cytta Corp. President, Erik Stephansen. "We're making it easier
to collect information from many medical devices and doing it from
anywhere the patient lives, works, or plays. Other systems
collect one health data metric but what if you need to know more
about the patient's blood pressure and their blood glucose
and oxygen absorption levels? Today, you need a system
tailored to the patient that handles several medical devices and we
can offer them all."
Cytta's open-architecture allows HPN caregivers the flexibility
to add medical devices as patient needs change. For this
rollout, Cytta's medical device partners are supplying FDA approved
Bluetooth devices such as Blood Glucose Meter (from Entra Health),
Pulse Ox (from Nonin), and Blood Pressure and Weight Scale (from
A&D). They will soon be expanding the Bluetooth device
program to offer Temperature, Peak Flow, and other FDA approved
medical devices.
The Challenge: Once you collect data from the medical
devices, you must overcome the challenge of getting that data to
the right place so the caregiver can view it to help the
patient. To resolve this issue, HPN is handing out to the
patient the CyttaConnect system that includes the Cytta smartphone
and necessary FDA approved Bluetooth medical devices for that
patient. By doing so, the data moves from the patient
collection point wirelessly back to HPN. The patient doesn't
have to do anything and the data seamlessly goes directly to their
caregiver.
The result: All the proper health metrics are collected
wirelessly, data transference is seamless, and the data is viewable
by the caregiver who needs it.
Furthermore, CyttaConnect is the only system to synchronize all
of the needed parts. Because of this integrated approach,
Cytta also provides caregivers instant patient health alerts.
For example, if a patient health metric is out of his of her
individual healthy range, the system automatically sends an alert
via email and text to the caregiver.
Caregivers no longer need to monitor a patient screen and, with
CyttaConnect's two-way cellular voice capability, the caregiver can
call the patient smartphone to help.
Integration matters: The Cytta system approach ensures data
safety and data security versus downloading a smartphone App to
collect data. "If it's just some phone App, how does the important
patient health data get back to the right caregiver or back to the
right place? Who in the medical community is going to try to
find it? To me, that's like writing an important letter and
sending it without an address on it!" exclaimed Mr. Stephansen.
"So, we start by working with the caregiver and they provide the
system to the patient. Our approach guarantees that 100% of
the data goes to who needs it."
How it works: Cytta is fortunate to have its own data and voice
cellular network to put all the pieces together. Others have one
piece of the solution but a cellular carrier is needed to securely
and safely move the data back to the caregiver.
Cytta Corp. started with a design goal to synchronize (using its
cellular network) all the system parts to connect millions of
patients with caregivers. For technology reasons, most
proprietary systems out there today have barely handled several
hundred patients at most. The CyttaConnect system is based on
cellular technology and, by using COTS devices, they can serve many
times more patients.
Added freedom: Portability and nationwide cellular service give
patients the freedom to travel on business or to go on vacation
while caregivers from their hometown are still monitoring their
health and wellbeing.
We applaud HPN's choice in selecting the CyttaConnect
system. Cytta seeks to help educate patients and improve
their wellbeing by collecting health data in the convenience of
their home or anywhere. The radically simple CyttaConnect cellular
system with its common medical devices permits greater scalability,
ease, and portability that patients want and deserve.
