CINTERION Honored With Oracle's Prestigious Duke's Choice Award For Continued Innovation In Java Technology CINTERION TC65i And EGS5 Java Wireless Modules Recognized As Ideal Foundation For mHealth M2M Solutions
CINTERION, the leading global manufacturer of cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) modules, was honored at Oracle's JavaOne Conference with a prestigious Duke's Choice Award for integration of its TC65i and EGS5 Java powered modules in mHealth solutions. CINTERION's Java modules were selected for bringing together the programming ease and flexibility of open standard Java ME technology with CINTERION's reliable, always-on communications to create innovative wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) mHealth applications. The combination of M2M-optimized Java with ARM 9 processing plus CINTERION's full type and carrier approved wireless modules offers a powerful design and engineering advantage for effective telemedicine applications that enable 24-7 communications between patient, medical device and physician.
"We're honored to be recognized with a Duke's Choice award, which highlights our pioneering heritage in Java innovation for M2M solutions," said Norbert Muhrer, CEO, CINTERION. "mHealth is at the forefront of medical innovation and has the potential to truly revolutionize the industry by improving patients' day-to-day lives while curbing out-of-control healthcare costs. CINTERION's industry-leading modules continue to be a wise investment for a variety of industries to reduce costs, improve time-to-market, increase productivity and create more effective processes."
One of the hottest trends in healthcare today, mHealth technology benefits both patients and healthcare providers with improved quality of care, cost savings, increased convenience and healthier patients. CINTERION's Java powered wireless modules are utilized as core building blocks in efficient telehealth systems by making medical devices "talk" securely over cellular networks to ultimately help save lives.
CINTERION's Java portfolio includes TC65i, a GPRS class 12 Quad-Band module, and EGS5, its LGA solderable counterpart and the world's smallest Java embedded wireless module. Both include the latest Java ME innovations such as Over the Air Provisioning (OTAP), Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) updates, highly secure processing, an easy path to future upgrades and added functionality as technology needs expand. With Java on board, software applications can run directly on CINTERION modules eliminating the need for extra processors and memory. This increases design flexibility and integration simplicity, cuts costs and makes it easier to customize creative new mHealth applications. At the same time, the open programming platform significantly improves time-to-market to the benefit of both patients and healthcare providers.
The CINTERION Duke's Choice Award highlighted two mHealth applications: the healthimo diabetes education program and Philips Respironics System One sleep therapy solution for the treatment of sleep apnea. Both solutions integrate CINTERION's TC65i module, enabling real-time communication over GSM/GPRS wireless networks for an always-on conduit between patient, medical device and physician.
Adopted by major US & UK health plans, healthimo's clinically-proven, outcome-driven diabetes education program relies on the GlucoMON mHealth device to wirelessly send accurate and timely blood glucose data to healthimo's clinical operations center. Patients receive timely feedback and advice, which helps them maintain blood sugar within a safe range. Philips Respironics System One monitors and records sophisticated patient breathing data and securely sends it via cellular networks to the EncoreAnywhere Web-based platform. Physicians securely log on to EncoreAnywhere to obtain timely, detailed breathing reports and can respond with prescription pressure changes sent over-the-air to the device that provide immediate treatment intervention.
The Duke's Choice Awards program recognizes the year's most innovative Java technology-based applications submitted by developers and companies from around the world. The winners are chosen by Oracle's Java technology leadership. For more information http://www.java.com/en/dukeschoice or www.CINTERION.com.
