CardieX Limited (ASX:CDX) is working in the space of health technology at the global level. It aims to provide health solutions for large scale population through digital and device-based solutions. The company has developed a product named XCEL which measures the central blood pressure which is considered to be essential for various cardiovascular disorders. It has also entered a joint venture with Blumio Inc. for the development of a radar-based blood pressure sensor.
On 2nd April 2019, the company announced that its group company inHealth Medical Services, Inc (inHealth) is conducting a new ground-breaking study and collaboration on cardiovascular disease and telehealth by utilising subsidiary AtCor Medicalâs innovative SphygmoCor® technology.
inHealth is a provider of Telehealth services in the US which helps the patients to connect online with their respective health coaches by providing e-commerce, digital and mobile tools to them as a part of patient care program. These patient care programs are a long-term clinical trial that exhibits superior patient outcomes using Telehealth coaching services. It is also in partnerships with many healthcare institutions in the USA like Kaiser Permanente, Anthem etc.
In the process of carrying out the study, inHealth has secured two highly coveted research collaborators. One is the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University which is the largest obesity research center in the US and the other is leading research mHealth center, The University of South Carolina.
The collaborators will also support inHealthâs diabetes lifestyle intervention study which exhibits the clinical importance of telehealth services in the management of chronic disease.
inHealth is currently undertaking one of the broadest lifestyle intervention studies to date in partnership with Kaiser Permanente, together with California State University Long Beach (CSULB) which aims to establish effects of lifestyle intervention and telehealth coaching on disease progression, treatment and, management.
iHealthâs cardiovascular study will be the first study in the world to investigate how cost-effective telehealth solutions can prevent and improve cardiovascular disease.
