Wireless Infrared Connectivity Enables "Handheld Radiology" for Improved Patient Care and Healthcare Productivity

MILPITAS, CALIF. - NOVEMBER 26, 2001 - Stanford University Medical Center, Department of Radiology has successfully transferred radiological images from G.E. Medical Systems' PACS (picture archiving and communications system) to a handheld PDA via Clarinet Systems' wireless infrared connectivity solution, the EthIR STAR™.

This linkage allows images, overlays and radiological reports stored in the PACS to be transferred wirelessly to PDAs running the Palm OS or a Pocket PC for the first time ever. This groundbreaking project demonstrates how physicians and medical students can share images with colleagues and patients without the need for hard copies or making a trip to the radiology department for film. Physicians are relying more and more on handheld devices for patient data, medical references and scheduling.

With Clarinet System's EthIR STAR, healthcare professionals can connect to the hospital's network from any location where the infrared access hub is stationed and transfer critical data and images to their PDA within seconds. Timely, accurate and up-to-date information is paramount for physicians to successfully treat their patients and the EthIR STAR provides the instant connectivity needed to transfer that data. Using wireless infrared connectivity, hospitals and health systems not only save money on deployment costs, they reduce human error when transcribing notes, increase availability of real-time treatment and diagnoses and save physicians' time, all of which impacts the quality of patient care.

Unlike radio frequency wireless solutions, Clarinet Systems' infrared technology allows handheld connectivity to PDAs without expensive software, hardware and cradles and, more importantly, provides an open, secure HIPAA compliant solution. (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) mandates regulations that govern privacy, security and electronic transaction standards for health care information.)
