Cardiomedics Inc. will market wireless cardiac monitoring technology developed by Telzuit Medical Technologies Inc. Telzuit's BioPatch system uses Bluetooth wireless technology to send monitoring data to Treo smart phones from Palm Inc. that have been embedded with the vendor's software.
The system - released late last year - consists of a patch containing an adhesive that attaches to a patient's chest. The patch measures electrocardiogram or cardiac event data and sends the information to the smart phone, which is carried by a patient to enable them to monitor their condition.
Telzuit copies the data during the transfer and stores it on a server in its data center. Physicians then can log into the vendor's Web site to retrieve the data.
