Tunstall RTX 3370 Telehealth Monitor
The Tunstall RTX 3370 telehealth monitor is an interactive and simple to use device, designed specifically to improve the health care for people suffering from chronic disease. This may include diseases such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and diabetes.
The RTX 3370 telehealth monitor remotely transmits an individual’s vital signs’ results to their care provider. The RTX 3370 telehealth monitor engages a person with chronic disease and assists them and their care providers to more effectively manage their health.
The RTX 3370 telehealth monitor promotes independence and makes a difference to people’s lives.
How does it work?
The RTX 3370 telehealth monitor engages the user to collect information relevant to their medical condition. This includes vital signs and answers to health questions. Vital signs are collected using the RTX 3370 telehealth monitor and external devices relevant to the user’s condition. The available range of data collection devices include:
These devices are connected to the RTX 3370 telehealth monitor via blue tooth, infrared or cable.
The RTX 3370 telehealth monitor also asks health related questions which are answered by pressing the buttons on the monitor.
Using the user’s standard telephone line, the collected information is transmitted to a monitored database.
A Flexible System Provides Advantages The RTX 3370 telehealth monitor is a fully flexible system, built around the principles of open architecture in that it can easily be integrated with virtually any patient management system. While Tunstall Healthcare can provide a backend monitoring system and monitoring service if required; organisations can connect directly to their own database or patient management system. A standard operating package is available for the RTX 3370 telehealth monitor with a standard set of questions to suit commonly monitored conditions. The RTX 3370 telehealth monitor is also fully configurable using JavaScript programming to tailor the questions and devices monitored to suit specific monitoring requirements.
Features:
Available now in Australia with Therapeutic Goods Administration approval (ARTG: 157160). Local health regulatory approvals are pending for New Zealand and Taiwan.
Cost Effective While Telehealth devices have been around for some time their purchase cost and ongoing fees have largely limited their use to larger government funded organisations and research projects. You will be pleasantly surprised at how affordable the RTX is. |
