A news release mentions about the launch of a new product jointly by Beijing Goodwill Information and Technology Co., Ltd. that provides electronic cardiogram systems in China and IBM. The product is an all-in-one electronic cardiogram management system introduced for the first time in China. The system provides real-time insight for doctors treating patients with cardiovascular conditions.
WHO estimates that heart disease, stroke, and diabetes have cost China US$558 billion in national income. The new system helps improve the management of ECG processes. Physicians will be able to deliver ECG tests and diagnoses by tapping into a databank of centralized ECG information. The centralized databank can be accessed from anywhere, even from mobile devices.
The integration of patient data as exemplified above enables doctors, patients and insurers to share information seamlessly. Such a connected system will result in fewer mistakes, and better prediction and prevention of diseases. A substantial improvement in healthcare is the consequence.
The new system includes Beijing Goodwill’s Cardiogram suite of professional applications and medical devices – such as holter systems, treadmill stress machines and patient monitors. Using IBM analytics and DB2 database software as the backbone, Beijing Goodwill was able to deliver an all-in-one solution for hospitals.
