ТЕМЕО cardiology telemetric system monitoring and preventive treatment Patent of “Security Solutions Institute” 1 Cardiology in Bulgaria • Cardiovascular diseases cause about 60% of the death cases in Bulgaria • Bulgaria is the country with the highest death rate in EU • More than 10,000 people annually die because of myocardial infarction • The number of cases with coronary artery disease increases every year • Tens of thousands of lives are in danger • The number one reason of death cases is the inability of early diagnostics Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 2 What is TEMEO? ТЕМЕО is an innovative mobile telemedicine system for remote monitoring. It allows the doctor to oversee and control the patient’s condition 24/7. The system is developed for cardiac patients with high risk of complications. Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 3 Purpose of the system • Monitoring of cardiac patients in order to prevent complications • Prompt and early diagnostic of pathological conditions • Prevention after hospitalization • Clinical examinations in Cardiology • Monitoring of elderly and disabled people • Rehabilitation Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 4 How it works • Electronic sensor in a chest-belt, registers the activity of the heart and generates an electromagnetic signal at each contraction of the heart muscle • Mobile electronic device receives the signal and stores the data of the cardiac rhythm • The device records the patient's physical activity • The received data is transmitted every 5 minutes through the GSM module to the Telemedicine Information Center • There are four electrodes on the back of the device connected to an additional ECG module, which could send the stored ECG record in case of need Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 5 How it works General Practitioner GSM Network Telemedicine Information Center Cardiologist Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 6 How it works GP • The patient enters through the user interface, additional information regarding his condition: blood pressure, body weight, laboratory tests • Data is stored at the Telemedicine Information Center Telemedicine Information Center • In case of critical values, the system generates text messages and sends them to the doctor and the patient • If it’s necessary, the overseeing doctor consults the data with a specialist-cardiologist Cardiologist Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 7 Interface of the system TEMEO • The specialized interface allows the physician to obtain analytically and graphically presented data of the patients (RR, HRV, ECG) • Each patient has an electronic file containing medical data with his condition. It can be monitored in real time by an authorized physician. • The access to the patients data is highly secured Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 8 The device TEMEO • Up to 48 hours in operating mode without charging • Integrated GSM module for sending the data every 5 minutes • Functioning 3-channel ECG through 4 integrated electrodes • “EVENT” button for emphasizing the period when the patient is not feeling well (marker) • Compact sizes TUV certificate since September 2010 Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 9 Sale channels Ordering the service in M-Tel Shop (on a later stage) General Practitioners (GP) and Cardiologists Hospitals and Health Insurance Funds Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 Pharmaceutical companies 10 Hospitals and Health Insurance Funds The hospital increases the patients’ satisfaction and saves (earns) money, while executing the distant monitoring of many patients The patient is hospitalized and treated after a heart attack, surgery, or other cardio-vascular problem Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 The patient receives a TEMEO device from the hospital and then could be distantly monitored from his home 11 Business model for GPs and Cardiologists The GP or especially the Cardiologist could provide additional services to their patients, building loyalty and increasing the level of satisfaction The GP or the Cardiologist diagnoses the patient’s condition and recommends the monitoring system Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 The doctor has an LTA with SSI. He owns couple of TEMEO devices and provides his patients with them for a fixed charge 12 Business model for the Pharmaceutical companies This could be a major competitive advantage for the pharmaceutical companies to sell their cardio-vascular medicines. They could give the TEMEO devices as a bonus to the GPs. The GPs will provide the device to their patients which will increase the patients’ loyalty and satisfaction due to enhanced treatment and monitoring. The Pharmaceutical companies will buy the TEMEO devices and provide them to the GPs, as a bundle with the cardio medicines Partnerships and Innovations, 2010 The GP or the Cardiologist diagnoses the patient’s condition and recommends the bundle (TEMEO + medicine) 13
