LitePoint Corporation, the leader in wireless test solutions, announced today it has joined Continua Health Alliance, along with other technology leaders.
The alliance's mission is to improve the quality of personal healthcare and to establish a system of interoperable health solutions for personalized health and wellness management for all people.
"Wireless will be as pervasive in medical technology as it already is in consumer electronics," said John Lukez, Director of Product Marketing at LitePoint Corporation. "It will allow people and organizations to better manage health and wellness with safe, efficient health information exchange."
Testing Wireless Functionality—Where it Counts the Most
Wireless technology, utilizing many different wireless standards, is quickly being added to personal medical devices such as glucose meters, wireless insulin pumps, and drug dispensers. LitePoint has over 10 years of experience testing all of the most common wireless standards now used in connected medical devices, including Bluetooth, ZigBee, and WiFi.
Wireless Expertise for Companies New to Wireless Technology
Many medical device companies are new to wireless technology. This is where Lukez says LitePoint can offer these companies a distinct advantage. "Our deep expertise and history in helping our customers deliver innovative wireless products to demanding consumers will be a huge advantage to medical device makers as they bring these new technologies to their customers and ultimately to patients and healthcare professionals."
