Although our ECG solutions are successful, another of our telemedical solutions was featured in today's Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1037140/Bathroom-scales-tell-heart-failing.html
The CHF monitoring scales - which are used by the patient from their own home - are used to detect early symptoms associated with CHF, such as weight gain through fluid build-up; this allows physicians to monitor patients progress, diagnose problems quickly and administer timely preventative care to hep save lives. We believe CHF monitoring could save the NHS over £60m a year and save thousands of lives. By monitoring CHF patients at home using the scales, the NHS can save 29% of the overall £211 million spent on the 62,000 - plus CHF admissions per year. It's all part of the drive to move treatment from hospitals into the home, as recommended by Lord Darzi's report.
