Royal Philips Electronics has introduced a new telemetry system featuring bidirectional communication between patient-worn transceivers and bedside monitors, and a central station with remote clinician access:
“It offers a wider range of solutions that enhance clinical data accessibility and improve a care team’s efficiency. Lightweight wireless transceivers allow patients to walk around or rest in bed comfortably while being monitored. Clinicians can access powerful, user-friendly clinical decision support tools on the IntelliVue Information Center. Additionally, administrators recognize the value of built-in, scalable reporting tools that can be easily integrated with existing information systems. Overall, the IntelliVue Telemetry System is designed to meet the needs of today’s wireless, digital hospital,” said Russell [David Russell, vice president, global marketing, patient monitoring for Philips Medical Systems–ed.]
