Business Wire
ImpediMed Limited (ASX:IPD), a global provider of medical
technology to non-invasively measure, monitor and manage tissue
composition and fluid status using bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS),
announces that by the end of April 2019, ImpediMed will become
Business Associate-compliant and launch third-generation software
for its award-winning SOZO Digital Health Platform.
“We are delivering a solution that provides clinical information
and analytics even faster in a more secure manner,” says Shashi
Tripathi, chief technology officer, ImpediMed. “This will make
product development efficient so that we can innovate faster in
delivering better value to clinicians.”
He adds that this next generation of software offers a new
interface which is easier to navigate, while providing the highest
level of security and privacy of patient data in a cloud-based
solution. It also offers additional security features for both
hospital administrators and clinical users.
ImpediMed has expanded the security in its compliance with the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and
Business Associate by further improving all the controls defined by
Health and Human Services (HHS) 45 CFR’s security and privacy
rules. This allows them to partner with institutions to collect
pertinent patient information during each test.
The new software is taking advantage of artificial intelligence
combined with tens of thousands of existing SOZO patient records to
simplify and automate the use of the data collected. This will
enhance the accuracy of the end results to improve system
performance and the user experience.
The new software will be more powerful and significantly
streamline the installation and maintenance process by moving all
data handling, storage and analysis to a Cloud-based service.
The SOZO Digital Health Platform was launched in 2018 and is
currently being used by hospitals and clinics in the United States
and globally mainly to aid in the assessment of early detection of
secondary lymphedema in cancer patients and fluid accumulation in
heart failure patients for fluid overload. The SOZO Digital Health
Platform is a scalable, simple-to-use, non-invasive, highly
accurate system providing clinicians with extensive, objective,
medically meaningful results in less than 30 seconds.
Richard Carreon, managing director and CEO, ImpediMed says, “The
functionality and performance of the SOZO platform continues to
advance at a rapid pace. This latest software version will allow us
to more efficiently and effectively analyze our growing user
database to further improve our algorithms, enhance performance and
provide real-world clinical data for FDA/CE Mark submissions.”
