AMDL Health Launches eTraq app for BlackBerry PlayBook in India

It is a portable, light-weight unit that provides five-parameter monitoring

Advanced Micronic Devices Limited Healthcare division (AMDL Health), provider of medical equipment and devices and a group company of Opto Circuits (India), has launched eTraq for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Developed by i2iTelesolutions, the eTraq Application will allow medical practitioners to use a BlackBerry PlayBook to remotely access multiple patients’ physiological parameters collected through eTraq Transport Monitors.

eTraq Transport Monitor is a portable, light-weight unit that provides five-parameter monitoring. Through the BlackBerry PlayBook and eTraq Application, doctors can access local patient monitors connected to the hospital’s central monitoring system (CMS). The CMS receives data from local patient monitors and can display a patient’s vital information in real time to care providers. It archives the data for compliance analysis and monitors the incoming data for anomalies and displays alarm messages. The solution is also used by ambulance services, where a patient’s condition can be analysed by the physician ahead of arrival at the emergency facility.

“Providing real-time critical patient information to enable quick diagnostics is the goal of the eTraq Application for the BlackBerry PlayBook. Research in Motion (RIM) is known for its enhanced enterprise application services and secure platform. We are glad to partner with them on this unique remote monitoring application and proud to make it available for the medical fraternity in India,” said Arindam Sen, CEO, Advanced Micronic Devices.

Annie Mathew, Head, Alliances and Developer Relations in India, RIM, said, “The BlackBerry PlayBook is a powerful and versatile platform and its ultra-portable design makes it conducive in a hospital environment. We are pleased to support AMDL Health and i2iTelesolutions in their efforts to bring the unique eTraq remote monitoring application to medical practitioners in India.”

eTraq Application will assist doctors to make timely decisions and eliminate the need for the doctor's physical presence at the place where the medical reports are generated.
