ExpressMD(TM) Signs Non-Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Cyntrist to Deliver Remote Patient Monitoring and Telehealth Syste

Cyntrist to Utilize ExpressMD Solutions' Telehealth System to Improve Diabetic Care 


BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., July 8  /PRNewswire/ -- ExpressMD Solutions, a joint venture formed by Authentidate Holding Corp. and EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. to provide remote patient monitoring telehealth systems and services that improve care for patients, has signed its first user contract and distribution agreement with Cyntrist, a comprehensive diabetic care company headquartered in Central Florida. Cyntrist will distribute Express MD's systems and services throughout the Southeastern U.S. region.  Initially Cyntrist will target Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

ExpressMD Solutions' systems and services enable unattended measurement of a patient's vital signs and related health information.  This patient data is securely sent over the Internet to the patient's healthcare provider for review.

Cyntrist will utilize ExpressMD's remote patient monitoring systems and telehealth services to monitor patients diagnosed with Diabetes.  Patients will be able to use Electronic House Call(TM) equipped monitoring devices located in their home to record personal health data, including glucose levels and weight.  ExpressMD Solutions' service will transmit the data to each patient's care provider as it is collected.  By remotely receiving patient data daily, care providers can adjust treatment accordingly and provide an enhanced level of care.  In addition, ExpressMD's solution reduces the need for regular office visits, reducing the cost of care.

"Cyntrist's decision to incorporate ExpressMD Solutions' remote patient monitoring telehealth system and services as part of its patient care capabilities, underscores the benefits that telehealth monitoring systems offer patients and healthcare providers," said Ronald Mills, Managing Director at ExpressMD Solutions. "As a way to improve patient care and reduce costs, telehealth systems have the power to change the landscape of patient monitoring.  We believe our solution is ahead of the curve in this market and will be widely accepted by meeting a number of monitoring applications going forward."

In June 2008 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes (8% of the population), an increase of more than three million in approximately two years.

"By combining our world-class proprietary Diabetes information management system, Enhanced Diabetes Information System (EDIS(TM)), with ExpressMD Solutions' remote patient monitoring telehealth system, we are introducing a capability that goes above and beyond what is currently available for treating patients with Diabetes.  A core advantage of this system is that it is easy for patients to use and is cost effective compared to monitoring patients multiple times per week in person.  This is a very exciting opportunity for patients, providers and heath insurers," said Rogers Kirven, President of Cyntrist.
