Mobile Health solution enables patients to conduct medical measurements
at home and send data via VivaCell-MTS network to their doctors for
further monitoring
VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of "Mobile TeleSystems" OJSC, has assumed
the general sponsorship of the Third Medical Congress of Armenia
that took place in Yerevan State Medical University on July 7-8. In
addition to sponsoring the event, VivaCell-MTS together with Yerevan
State Medical University presented Mobile-Health innovative solution,
based on Ericsson M-Health wireless technologies aimed at creating a
new improved means to provide population with better access to health
care services.
Innovations in all essential sphere of social life, and especially in
the health care, are in the focus of attention of Armenia's Leading
Mobile Operator.
The M-Health is most commonly used in reference to using mobile
communication devices, such as mobile phones in health care services
provision. For the first time in Armenia VivaCell-MTS has made the
Mobile Health solution available to the medical body in the country.
The solution enables distance monitoring of patients health
condition by their doctors. Patients will be able to conduct medical
measurements at home and instantly send health-related data remotely
via VivaCell-MTS network to their doctors for monitoring using special
mobile health equipment. This will mean both convenience and fast
follow up on patient's situation. Together with the Yerevan Medical
State University, the mobile health equipment will be put in use as
of September as a pilot project, at the pilot site of Yerevan Medical
State University.
In developed countries Mobile-Health solutions have wide application in
providing better access to healthcare and health-related information
as well as in improving ability to diagnose and track diseases by
providing much better capacity to service providers.
M-Health technologies still have a huge unrealized potential to
address global challenges in the healthcare.
"VivaCell-MTS, as a leader in the telecom sphere, rushes as always to
find any opportunity that could bring benefit to the Nation. Today we
present the next innovation in a life-critical field such as medicine.
We put our mobile network, the widest in Armenia, and technical
resources at the discretion of those compatriots for whom being under
continuous monitoring by their doctors is extremely important. On the
other side, VivaCell-MTS is using innovative solutions for facilitating
the everyday work of health care practitioners, by giving them modern,
high-quality and effective tools," described VivaCell-MTS General
Manager Ralph Yirikian.
The M-Health equipment will be put in use as of September 2011 as a
pilot project,
Fighting the development of diseases threatening the humankind and
providing the health of the generations, are of particular importance
to VivaCell-MTS as a corporate citizen. Piloting and successful
roll-out of M-Health is critical for attaining long-term objectives
set in the sphere of public health. This is an important milestone
toward strengthening Armenia's competitive advantage in health care
in the whole region.
During the congress various experts from Armenia and other countries
presented on a variety of healthcare issues. Several tracks were
organized for different narrow specialties.
VivaCell-MTS' M-Health solution was demonstrated at VivaCell-MTS
pavilion next to the conference hall. The equipment demonstrated
includes spirometer, blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter, and
the communication device gathering data from different sensors
via Bluetooth Connection and transmitting through the VivaCell-MTS
network to back-end system and server. The system also includes web
application for medical providers.
