Israeli Remote Health Technology Sought for China's Healthcare System
(Times of Israel) David Shamah - As China's population ages, its healthcare needs are growing - and to keep costs down, the country is looking at ways to keep patients out of the doctor's office, via Israeli communication technology. "With mobile and video technology, patients will be able to connect with many specialists at a minimum cost," said Renming Zhu, president of a Chinese healthcare technology company. One Israeli medical technology company is Aerotel, which specializes in telemedicine - transferring essential medical and lifestyle data over the Internet. The company's apps hook up with medical equipment or sensors and transmits information on a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG), blood pressure, or blood glucose level to doctors or hospitals. If anything is amiss - blood pressure too high, ECG too unstable - an alarm goes off, alerting patients and doctors.
