PLEASANTON, CA, Jun 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Polycom, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLCM), the global leader in telepresence, video,
and voice communications solutions, and AMD Global Telemedicine Inc.
(AMD) today announced an integrated voice and video solution for
telehealth providers. The AMD Dynamic Encounter Network, or ADEN(TM),
which allows for capture, control, transmission and management of robust
medical device data, now incorporates Polycom's Converged Management
Application(TM) (CMA(TM)) and Polycom CMA Desktop(TM) client in its
on-screen display.
ADEN(TM) is an IP based, publicly addressable, on-demand secure extensible
data transmission conduit for the delivery of encrypted medical device
information. ADEN(TM) features embedded EMR integration capabilities, is
unified communications ready, requires no special data network
configuration, and is designed to work on virtually any network.
The Polycom Converged Management Application (CMA) simplifies the
provisioning and management of visual communication solutions, and with
the CMA Desktop, practitioners are able to see live video sessions from
anywhere over an Internet connection. CMA Desktop is a highly scalable
and cost-effective video collaboration application for personal computers
and an excellent means for clinicians to participate in telehealth
sessions regardless of location.
This solution offers a secure, easy-to-use, real-time view of the patient
being seen, their electronic health record (EHR) and all relevant medical
device images and data. The integration of these systems can dramatically
streamline a clinician's workflow by offering the lowest cost, highest
quality, completely mobile telemedicine offering available today. As long
as caregivers have an Internet connection and a browser, they can access
the integrated ADEN(TM)/CMA Desktop solutions. CMA Desktop has a low cost
of deployment, and the ability to add providers to the network for very
little cost, which means telemedicine providers can expand their networks
with very little additional overhead. Additionally, the data can be
captured, recorded, and replayed when needed.
"Polycom is a long-time and very important partner of AMD," said Steve
Normandin, president of AMD Global Telemedicine. "The ability to integrate
Polycom visual communication solutions into our medical care systems has
proven invaluable to our customers. As a Polycom ARENA partner, AMD can
leverage Polycom technology, marketing, and sales channels in its
telehealth offerings, ensuring that our customers have best-in-class video
as part of their overall solutions."
Polycom ARENA enables ecosystem partners such as AMD to develop, test and
certify interoperability between their solutions and the Polycom platform
of voice, video and content collaborative solutions.
Ron Emerson, Polycom global director of Healthcare, added, "AMD Global
Telemedicine is known in the market for its innovative and high quality
systems. AMD Global Telemedicine utilizing Polycom video conferencing in
ADEN means our joint customers will have the most flexible, easy-to-use
telemedicine solution that the market has long been waiting for; one that
can used anywhere, anytime, allowing for ultimate flexibility in
telemedicine today."
