New eHealth networks automatically collect all medical data on patients, integrate the information, and display it to patients through a secure information network.Posted on 07 Feb 2006
The technology was developed by Global Medical Networks International (GMN, Baltimore, MD, USA), based on its Life-On-Key system. Together with a company in Singapore that supplies technology and equipment for hospitals and other medical institutions, GMN is conducting a pilot project for the creation of an eHealth network for an initial 100,000 users in the Far East. The project will include individual emergency information and medical history available anywhere at any time. The project, to be funded by the local government and executed by a local insurance company, will span a period of over five year.
GMN is also involved in a similar project with a number of hospitals and clinics on the East Coast of the United States and in a Pan European project involving 21 European hospitals. In all these projects, the requirement was for the integration of medical data from a number of different places and sources and the security and privacy of the patient, who in fact is the owner of the information.
"GMN has developed a technology that allows the integration of medical information from different sources, displaying them in secure patient information networks available from anywhere at any time in a number of different formats,” said Dr. Linda Harnevo, owner and CEO of GMN.
