Telemetry System Monitors Patients

A new telemetry system features bidirectional communications between patient-worn transceivers and bedside monitors.

Part of the IntelliVue patient monitoring portfolio of Philips Medical Systems (Best, The Netherlands), the new telemetry system uses cellular technology to ensure seamless information management and more-flexible patient monitoring--both designed to increase clinical efficiency and improve patient outcome.

The IntelliVue telemetry system operates in the protected 1.4 GHz wireless medical telemetry service (WMTS) band, and coexists with Philips' digital telemetry systems, wireless bedside monitors, transport monitors, and even a hospital's own WiFi (wireless Internet) systems. The system features Smart-Hopping technololgy to avoid interference and seek out the strongest available signal for seamless data transmission as patients roam within the hospital.

"The Philips IntelliVue telemetry system was designed with patients, clinicians, and hospital administrators in mind,” said David Russell, vice president, global marketing, patient monitoring, for Philips Medical Systems. "It offers a wider range of solutions that enhance clinical data accessibility and improve a care team's efficiency.”
