QCOM) today announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Life, Inc., is
collaborating with new technology partners and customers who are
leveraging the 2net™ Platform and Hub to enable wireless
connectivity of medical devices and applications so that biometric

providers and caregivers. The Company also announced that its 2net
Platform and Hub, which are already available in the U.S. and
Europe, are also now available in

shopping for wireless enablement of their healthcare solutions
across the greater part of two continents," said Rick Valencia, vice president and general
manager of Qualcomm Life. "We are committed to providing solutions

nearly 180 technology partners and customers, are: Ingram Micro

device aggregation and activation services that pair various
wireless medical devices with a single 2net Hub. Ingram Micro's
knowledge and expertise in logistics and distribution will also
enable the 2net Ecosystem collaborators to achieve scale quickly
and efficiently.
"The mobile health market is growing rapidly and we are seeing
increased opportunity around machine-to-machine connectivity," says
Paul Bay, acting president, Ingram
Micro North America. "By leveraging Ingram Micro's global scale and
the investments we've made to optimize and specialize our business
around mobile, including the recent acquisition of BrightPoint,
Qualcomm Life will be well positioned to build greater business
efficiencies that can help accelerate demand for its 2net Platform
and Hub and help drive down go-to-market costs."
HealthyCircles™, an enterprise software-as-a-service
(SaaS) solution delivering integrated care coordination and
management, will leverage the 2net Platform to enable patients and
providers the ability to easily collect and monitor vital health
information with actionable data that is readily accessible and
shareable with a patient's care team.
"This strategic collaboration with Qualcomm Life will enhance
the HealthyCircles offering with a comprehensive portfolio of
wireless devices and seamless transmission of biometric data to
enable proactive care management and care team coordination,"
stated James Mault, M.D. FACS,
HealthyCircles' Founder and Chief Strategy Officer.
VRI and TCMC will leverage the 2net Hub to help further reduce
hospital readmissions and advance patient care by delivering the
2net Hub to TCMC patients within 48 hours of discharge. ActiveCare,
a leading provider of remote health solutions to employers and
their health plans, is leveraging the 2net Platform and Hub to
quickly capture and analyze patient data.
Also, the 2net Platform will help enable MD Revolution's SaaS
solution, RevUp, a scalable wellness solution for corporations and
physician practices that aggregates genetic and health data with
mobile device data, automates the diagnostic process and provides
an individual with a personalized treatment and wellness plan.
