Wave Physiological mobile monitoring

Welcome

We at Wave Technology Group believe in transforming healthcare through innovations leveraging mass technology, like cellular devices. “Disruptive innovations,” coined by Clayton Christensen of Harvard University, simply put is technological advances that fundamentally change the way people live and work.  Early innovations including inventions like the refrigerator or the elevator – now its computer based technology.

There have been monumental advances in computing technology.  Networks are no longer wires tethered to a wall, but instead we have adopted wireless networks including broadband wireless networks in the cellular world like 3G and 4G. Through put of these networks are soon going to reach 100mb per second, and the world will become connected wirelessly.  Computing devices have also changed.  An iPhone 4 has better screen resolution, a faster processor, more memory than the best Macintosh desktop just 10 years ago.  What a user can do in the palm of his hand is astounding and practical limitations are simply the way we use the device and the physical size of the device.

These technological advances and the low cost associated with Smartphones when applied to healthcare can innovate the way healthcare delivery occurs in the modern world.  No longer is physician bound by spot physiological measurement, trend analysis of a patient’s condition can occur without disrupting the patient’s life.  This new approach to healthcare is known as Mobile Health (mHealth) and is commonly defined as the delivery of health-related services and information as well as health diagnostics via portable wireless telecommunications technologies.

Mobile monitoring for people with chronic conditions is a rising interest of in the medical technology.  Continuous monitoring helps prevent the development of more serious conditions, and costs can be reduced significantly for both healthcare providers and patients. Additionally, data collected can help researchers work to find a cure or better treatments. In the U.S. alone there are more than three million who suffer from epilepsy and globally 50 million and growing.  With mHealth a neurologist can for the first time ever monitor the patient on a continuous real time basis at annual cost lower than an overnight stay in a hospital.

Wave Technology Group believes the healthcare model has to change on a global scale to become efficient cost effective and reach all people irregardless of where they live.  mHealth is paving the way and the possibilities are tremendous. Applications of Smartphones that facilitate remote physiological monitoring via wearable wireless is near possible today.
