The evolution of modern medicine is strictly related to the evolution of technology, since the doctors' and physicians' own capabilities are seriously enhanced by accurate and advanced tools. And that's exactly the type of product we'll talk about as follows, namely the CareCenter MD, a multimodality PC-based diagnostic workstation designed for today's physician practices.

The CareCenter MD diagnostic workstation features wireless data acquisition capabilities, a Bluetooth connection between the patient and the diagnostic workstation removing the need for cables, providing the opportunity for physicians to perform testing in a wider range of settings. Furthermore, physicians can read, analyze, and confirm patient tests from anywhere with a secure internet connection. While no EMR is required to view data with CareCenter MD, records can be easily transferred to an EMR if desired.

It's also quite interesting to mention that data for both ECG and stress tests are stored in the same database and can be easily accessed and reviewed, allowing physicians to make real-time comparisons of historical versus current patient data. And in order to make things a bit simpler for doctors, the solution also packs a simple and intuitive interface featuring one-button navigation.

"CareCenter MD delivers superior ease-of-use and efficiency," said Rene Mitchell, Cardiac Science director of marketing. "It's the first PC-based diagnostic workstation that supports both resting ECG and stress testing with a wireless data acquisition module. And, it allows physicians to comply with pending electronic record mandates even if they have not yet chosen an electronic medical record (EMR) partner.

"This is another important new product for our cardiac monitoring business," commented Dave Marver, Cardiac Science president and chief executive officer. "We are extending our leadership in primary care cardiology in 2010 with a series of technology introductions."
