‘Patent trolls’: will they pounce on your company?

Ray Felts of crowdsource patent-research company Article One Partners shines a spotlight, along with mHIMSS and your editors, on the plague of what he terms ‘patent trolls’ attacking early-stage companies. Trolls are defined as non-practicing entities (NPEs) that don’t actually create or market products. Rather they buy up patents for licensing purposes and to collect related fees, but their real business is, in Mr. Felts’ words, holding up startups for settlements: “The patent troll threatens to sue for significant royalties. The financial threat, business distraction and cost of defending the company disposes the startup to a lower settlement. Faced with... Continue Reading

Telemedicine consults save money, time: two-year study

A two-year (2010-12) study published in Health Affairs of 40,000 online consults via Minnesota-based integrated delivery system/insurer HealthPartners found that they reduced billing by an average of $88.03 per case (average cost: $40) and saved about 2.5 hours per patient. Patients were seen through the system’s 24/7 Virtuwell online clinic for 40 different primary care conditions, with the three most frequent being sinusitis, urinary tract infections and conjunctivitis. However, Virtuwell does not use video practitioner-patient consults, instead walking patients through an online automated interview about symptoms, medical history, allergies and medications. Then a nurse practitioner reviews each patient’s information and... Continue Reading

Geonovo’s high performance digital telecare platform (UK)

nicholas robinson the annoying thing is theat they have trademarked "Home Health Hub" -a commonly used descriptive term for a home health hub! Do we now have to say/add TM every tiem we use the term?? Steve Hards, Editor The TM has no legal significance - in the UK, at least. It only indicates that the words are being used as a trademark. So anyone can call their kit 'Home Health Hub' and put TM after it, any time until it is registered. But the phrase would be possibly be considered too generic to register as a trademark. See this...
