Corventis Announces Joint Participation with Ericsson at CANTO 2009 in Trinidad and Tobago
Technologies to Demonstrate Delivery of Wireless Cardiovascular Care to Patients Globally SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)-- Corventis, Inc., a developer of wireless cardiovascular solutions designed to enable early detection, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular conditions, announced today that it will be jointly presenting and participating with Ericsson at CANTO 2009 on Wednesday, July 15th at 8:30 AM (5:30 AM PST) during the `HSPA and LTE and Beyond Session` in the Jade ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad. The companies will be demonstrating a potential solution designed to provide wireless health management capabilities to clinicians and patients located in urban and remote areas. Corventis` wireless cardiovascular platform technology has been designed to deliver focused visibility into the cardiac health status of patients by combining patient-friendly wearable sensors with advanced computational algorithms, global wireless capabilities and a comprehensive web- based infrastructure. The system provides clinicians actionable information on an exception basis to help diagnose potential health risks, including non-lethal arrhythmias, from anywhere across the globe. By aligning with the CANTO 2009 theme of `Advancing the Caribbean through Information and Communication`, the joint effort with Ericsson aims to demonstrate how emerging telecommunications technologies can further expand the delivery of innovative healthcare solutions to clinicians and patients in the Caribbean and beyond. About Corventis Technology Electrocardiograms (ECG) and other tests performed in a hospital or clinic setting provide valuable information about the rhythm of the heart and overall patient health status. In many cases, however, it is necessary to monitor heart rhythm or other physiological signals for a longer period of time for a better understanding of the patient`s condition. The elegant PiiX wearable sensor from Corventis enables continuous monitoring for ambulatory patients - providing clinicians with insight into patient cardiovascular health during normal daily routines. The PiiX sensor automatically collects physiological information and wirelessly transmits the data from the patient to Corventis for further analysis and presentation on a secure website. With no cumbersome leads and wires, the patient-friendly design of PiiX encourages continuous wear, even while showering or sleeping. Fully automated collection and transmission of data also minimizes the number of steps required by the patient to ensure reliable event detection. For physicians, Corventis wireless technology offers ongoing visibility into a patient`s cardiac health status previously accessible mainly with invasive implantable devices. Multiple sensors on the PiiX enable intelligent detection of clinical events and the creation of comprehensive heart rate, respiratory rate, fluid status, posture and activity trends. Clinical event information such as ECG is captured on an exception basis, enabling focused review and diagnosis by clinicians. About Corventis Corventis, Inc. is a pioneer in wireless cardiovascular solutions. The company`s technology enables global personalized patient care by providing clinicians with actionable diagnoses for early detection, prevention and treatment.Corventis is funded by prominent venture capital firms Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, Mohr Davidow Ventures and DAG Ventures. Privately held, the company is located in San Jose, Calif. For more information visit www.corventis.com.
