Donna Cusano From David Doherty, 3G Doctor @mhealthinsight via Twitter: @telecareaware @deetelecare Neat. Also see the SenCIT featuring non invasive fall monitor, intruder alarm, etc. http://www.sendtech.co.uk/SeN-Cit/ Kevin Doughty There are lots of devices and linked technologies available to identify cold properties. Many fail because they don't recognise that a problem exists only if the individual is present in the room. In the same way, a low temperature in a lounge during the night may not be significant but during the day is worthy of an alert. These products (including SenCit and ThermoTxt) are reviewed on T-Cubed's Telecare EPG resource which... Continue Reading

[grow_thumb image=”https://telecareaware.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Doro-Liberto-810.jpg” thumb_width=”100″ /]Doro’s unveiling of their second smartphone, the Doro Liberto 810, along with its ‘privileged access’ to two Withings devices–the Smart Body Analyzer (weight, body fat, heart rate) and Pulse Smart Activity Tracker–continues their moves into older adult-appealing mobile telecare/telehealth offerings, as tracked by founding Editor Steve since at least 2009.

It is also not Doro’s first big alliance; late last year, Bosch Healthcare announced... Continue Reading

Medtronic confirms forecast direction change, the market reacts, and brains are stimulated
The ‘reasons why’ we (and others like David Shaywitz in Forbes) proposed back on 12 August for Medtronic’s purchase of Cardiocom were fully confirmed by their CEO Omar Ishrak in Bloomberg (21 August) and an analysis in Forbes (24 August). However, the Forbes article continues on to dump a bucket of cold water on Mr. Ishrak’s ‘solutions provider’ strategem (so reminiscent of 2008-9 with different companies), positing that telehealth belongs with wireless/mobile companies (Qualcomm), companies further downstream (Allscripts, a major US pharmacy benefits manager) or other technology/monitoring companies. Mr. Market held the roses though (Deutsche Bank’s reiterated hold rating in... Continue Reading
An update on the MOBISERV Kompaï project takes some flak
A long (and in need of editing), anodyne article on the European tech website Cordis updating the status of the EU/UK robotics project known as MOBISERV and the Kompaï companion robot, has generated a bit of controversy in the mHealth LinkedIn group (membership required). Group manager David Doherty, better known for his mHealthInsight (3GDoctor) website, objects to the design, the time and funds spent on it, and more. To summarize his points: It’s a waste of money on a device and R&D which could have been used on more targeted solutions to real problems A ‘touch screen robo-vehicle’ may not... Continue Reading
