New Online Company Making Telemedicine More Accessible to Patients and Health Care Providers
(PRWeb) February 2, 2007 -- With the Baby Boomer generation coming into retirement, the ratio of doctors to patients in the United States is worsening. The widening gap is taking its toll on insurance costs and the available time of physicians to attend to their patients. Fortunately, technology is advancing at an even faster pace, constantly providing new avenues for patients to administer a portion of their own care and creating more efficient ways for doctors and patients to communicate.
In response to this new opportunity, Altech Diagnostics Inc. has just launched its website at AltechDiagnostics.com in order to supply patients and healthcare providers with the most cutting-edge products and services. The company's goal is to maximize the potential of telemedicine and home healthcare, which will ease patient medical expenses and help physicians become more efficient.
"Altech Diagnostics was founded to create a positive change," explains Paula Twitty, President of Altech Diagnostics Inc. "We're focused on researching the manufacturers that are developing systems that enable healthcare professionals to expand their medical knowledge, improve their diagnostic skills and advance their levels of clinical performance."
The time-saving featured products on AltechDiagnostics.com include Spirotel, a revolutionary electronic device that can be customized to individual patient needs. When used by patients in the home, Spirotel can measure pulse oximetry readings and lung functionality. The unit can also be programmed to ask the patient a series of questions regarding symptoms or medication. Once the data has been collected, a patient can use the Spirotel to transmit the pulse oximetry readings and other information directly to their physician via telephone. The Spirotel System automatically identifies patients in need of emergency care or treatment, allowing for improved response time.
Also featured on the website are infrared therapy devices that make use of powerful visible red and near-infrared lights to alleviate pain from injuries and operations and to promote wound healing. Infrared therapy technology has also been shown to improve circulation, sleeping problems, inflammation and stiff joints.
Additionally, the QRS Belt is now available at altechdiagnostics.com. This reusable ECG Belt is a first in the industry and has built-in Electrodes. These not only save lives, but also save money, due to the fact that there is no need for disposable electrodes.
Altech Diagnostic Inc. carries a variety of first aid products, including carbon masks and hemostatic gauze, which halts bleeding upon contact with a wound. The site also features a line of topical solutions containing the natural amino acid L-Arginine that are designed not to conflict with medical conditions or other medicines. The collection of solutions covers a wide range of uses that includes promoting hair growth, soothing foot pain and enhancing sexual sensation.
For devices that transmit pulse oximetry readings, provide infrared therapy or perform other essential medical functions in the home, please visit AltechDiagnostics.com.
