London, November 16, 2009—Femtocells Americas – Airvana, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRV), ip.access, and Ubiquisys, together with Intrinsyc Software International, Inc. (TSX: ICS), today announced a demonstration of a femtocell-aware handset application working with all three vendors’ femtocells. The demonstration, which will be shown at the Femtocells Americas conference in San Diego, represents a milestone towards the standardization of femtocell applications, and is aligned to the Femto Forum’s ongoing work in this area.

Intrinsyc’s UX-Zone™ application incorporates femtocell presence triggers to change the user interface on a smartphone automatically as soon as it enters a home or office environment covered by a femtocell signal. Airvana, ip.access and Ubiquisys have collaborated to implement these presence triggers in a standardized way, according to a draft framework created by the Femto Forum’s Services Special Interest Group. Intrinsyc has already developed the software required for Android™ and Windows Mobile® handsets, for the first time enabling femtocell-aware smartphone applications to interoperate with multiple vendors’ femtocells. In the demonstration, the phone user interface adapts automatically to different environments as it moves between the femtocells and the outdoor network – for example by changing the theme and icons to offer high bandwidth entertainment services that take advantage of the fast, low-cost data provided by a femtocell at home.

As well as providing improved network coverage and capacity, femtocells are ideally suited for supporting a wide range of services which add extra value for consumers. They make sophisticated presence-based applications simple to use on any phone; provide massive bandwidth indoors to mobile devices at very low cost; and make it easy for people to share their digital content across various previously isolated networks.

In June, Airvana, ip.access and Ubiquisys pledged to work together in support of the Femto Forum’s Services Special Interest Group (SIG), which aims to make it simpler for developers to build and deploy new femtocell applications using standardised Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The demonstration with Intrinsyc is the first result from this collaboration.

“With standard femtocell APIs, developers will be able to write mobile applications that run on any femtocell on any network,” said Andrew Germano, Vice Chairman of the Femto Forum and Chairman of the Services SIG. “This kind of demonstration is an important proof point for the Forum’s current focus on creating a standard API for handset applications.”

“The demonstration is part of the wider initiative to ensure femtocell-aware applications will work with any vendor's femtocell,” said Andrew Hurdle, Vice President of Business Development, at Intrinsyc. “UX-Zone is more than just a single application; it’s an extension to our RapidRil™ product set that provides a standardized way for third party applications on the phone to become femtocell-aware.”

“Femtocell-aware applications offer significant opportunities for developers, network operators and end-users,” said Dean Bubley, founder of Disruptive Analysis, an independent technology industry analyst and consulting firm. “However, it is important to work towards standardised approaches that can work across multiple types of handset and femtocell. This type of common 'trigger' capability is a very good example and a positive signal for the market.”

LONDON, UK November 11, 2009 – Movirtu, the supplier of innovative network infrastructure solutions for mobile operators servicing rural poor communities, today announced the launch of MXPay at AfricaCom, Africa’s Premier Communications Congress and Exhibition taking place in Cape Town 11-12 November.

Mobile phone technology is making it possible to reduce the cost of providing reliable, affordable financial services to the unbanked, however 80% of the people living below the poverty line do not own a phone or a SIM card required to use these services. MXPay enables mobile operators to deploy existing mobile payment systems to those people living on less than $2 a day without the need for the user to own a phone or SIM card, thus drastically reducing the cost of entry for these services.

“Everyone is talking about banking the unbanked,” said Andrew Fok, VP Engineering of Movirtu. “We are enabling banking of the unphoned”.

Movirtu partners with mobile operators who have an existing mobile payment service to launch the service in a specific country. Users subscribe to the mobile payment service and are given a mobile phone number on a paper card which they can use to send and receive remittances using community phones or other people’s mobile phones. Alternatively if a subscriber already has a SIM card, they can send and receive payments without the need to swap SIM cards and risk leaving personal data on other people’s phones. NGOs and welfare organizations can also use the service to distribute funds to specific people without the need to buy mobile phones or SIM cards.

“We have been listening to those people living at the Base of the Pyramid and their needs,” said Nigel Waller, Founder and CEO of Movirtu. “We are striving to help people escape poverty by helping them to build a personal identity”.

MXPay will be available initially for mobile operators located in Africa and South Asia.

About Movirtu
Movirtu is a supplier of innovative network infrastructure solutions for mobile operators located in emerging markets to help them create access to basic phone services for more than a billion people earning less than two dollars a day.

The company's MXShare product enables subscribers, who cannot afford to buy a handset, to own a virtual phone account with their own telephone number which they can access from other people's mobile phones. By enabling basic phone services Movirtu is helping people access jobs, raise incomes, access displaced family members and, increasingly, is acting as an enabler to send remittances over the mobile phone network. Movirtu is a private company, headquartered in London, UK with offices in Johannesburg, South Africa. www.movirtu.com.

The demographic changes taking place in the UK population and internationally are forcing major changes in the method of supporting independent lifestyle, particularly the management of long term conditions.

Between 2020 and 2030 the over 60s population in the UK will exceed 20m. Currently there are already more people over 60, than there are aged less than 18. But the need for lifestyle and healthcare support applies across all age groups.

That alternative healthcare support solutions must be sought is beyond dispute. For example, the increasing costs of managing Type II Diabetes will place an unsustainable burden of the national healthcare budget in the coming decades. This is only one of four long term conditions that will need to be more effectively managed.

Potential alternative methods for supporting independent lifestyle and managing long term conditions are integrated telecare and telehealth solutions, providing digital delivery of lifestyle services and healthcare management, thereby reducing demands on scarce social and clinical resource.

On November 26th 2009, a seminar organised by the Digital Communications Knowledge Transfer Network and hosted by De Montfort University at the National Space Centre, Leicester will look at the opportunity created by increasing deployment of assistive living technologies.

The seminar will address key issues of telecare & telehealth - or assistive living, including:
- What are assistive living solutions?
- The communications infrastructure for delivering assistive living solutions;
- Interoperability;
- The market for assistive living solutions.

This seminar will be of interest to everyone in the procurement, delivery, operation, management and maintenance of telecare & telehealth solutions in the community.

Further details and registration for this event are available from the Digital Communications KTN website (www.dcktn.org.uk).

KARLSBAD, Germany – Nov. 6, 2009 – 1&1 Internet AG, one of the world's leading Internet providers with more than nine million customers, has chosen the Across Language Server for translating and publishing its hosting and e-commerce solutions into various languages. By using the centralized translation management software platform from Across Systems, 1&1 has already shortened the turn-around time of extensive projects, with 80,000 or more words, by up to 75 percent.

1&1’s subsidiary, GMX, has also recently started to implement the Across Language Server. To facilitate efficient localization of Website content and text, the Across Language Server is connected to its Web Content Management System, as well as to additional editing and Content Management Systems that are used for document creation.

"We chose Across because they provide optimum support for the localization of software products," explains Sebastian Zientek, Director of Technical Documentation, Web hosting product development at 1&1. "Across offers ideal solutions for the localization of software user interfaces, the buttons and menu items, as well as online help tools and technical documentation."

Due to 1&1’s large global market presence, daily business operations require multiple documents to be promptly and efficiently translated into various languages. For the Web hosting and e-shop solutions, this means that the software user interfaces, online assistance, FAQs, product documentation, and user manuals, as well as the control center, need to be localized and translated into the language of the respective target market. The Across Language Server serves these translation needs for 1&1.

The Across Language Server includes a translation memory and a terminology system for centralized management and maintenance of language data, as well as powerful workflow components for controlling and processing internal and external translation jobs. In this way, all parties involved in the localization process can be seamlessly integrated. "External colleagues and language service providers are just as immediately involved in the translation processes as our internal translators who sit in the office next door,” explains Sebastian Zientek.

Data handling is also of central importance for 1&1. "Due to the direct connection of our Content Management System to the Across Language Server, we can fully utilize the single source publishing for our multilingual content. We can now use one and the same multilingual content for different target media, for online as well as print publications," explains Sebastian Zientek. "The potential savings are tremendous and they are leading to extraordinary efficiency gains within my team."

6th November 2009 - Pupil attainment levels went up and incidents of poor behaviour dropped dramatically after a CCTV system was installed at Newall Green High School by security solutions specialist Schneider Electric.

In fact, the CCTV system made such a positive impact on security, safety and education within the school in its first few months’ operation, that Neil Wilson, the Manchester school’s head, ordered its expansion to cover their adjacent sixth form buildings in advance of the Winter term.

Classroom cameras enhance the learning environment
Classroom teachers have their camera on permanent record, and use it as part of their learning and teaching strategies. The camera also records any incidents of poor behaviour, and staff had occasion to show footoage to parents.
Crucially, it is the teacher who has control over who has access to the recorded footage, while the headteacher retains the rights over allowing access out of school. The professional associations were fully consulted, as were the staff, and the recording of lessons is now a permanent part of life in the school.

Chris Perry NASUWT representative and Head of ICT at Newall Green High School commented: “All staff value the use of classroom cameras, which have had a very positive impact on how teachers can do their jobs. Incidents of poor behaviour and vandalism have been reduced because of the monitoring, while teachers have no worries about being constantly observed because they have ownership of the footage”.

Importantly for head teacher Neil Wilson, as well as improved security, the CCTV system also brings the school valuable operational and educational benefits. He explains: “Since the CCTV cameras were installed, pupil attainment levels have risen and the number of incidents has fallen.

“A secure and safe school environment is fundamental to our pupils being able to make the most of their education, and the operating system supports everyone - staff and students,” added Wilson. “CCTV and audio footage is used both as a monitoring solution and also a teacher / learning development tool, with teachers asking for recordings of certain lessons to be kept and using them in e-portfolios and for lesson recaps.

Schneider Electric Security Project Engineer Ian Hanson commented: “By working in partnership with ICT provider Ramesys and the Newall Green’s e-learning coordinator, Matt King, we have been able to deliver an on-budget customised solution which exceeded the school’s initial expectations.

“The additional non-security benefits of the CCTV system played a key role in Schneider Electric’s Building Business, then known as TAC UK, being asked to expand the CCTV system to incorporate the sixth form this Summer.”

ICT provider Ramesys and Schneider Electric worked together to develop and install an integrated CCTV solution that monitored classroom activity with real time video and audio recording, as well as helping to secure the building and ensure the safety of pupils and staff within a comfortable learning environment.

Two IP-based systems were specified: one for classroom monitoring and a general security system for all other internal and external areas of the school. Both systems use the school’s own IT network, which enabled significant installation time and cost savings to be made.

A Pelco Endura virtual IP matrix, with 52 static and 10 fully functional IP dome cameras, provides coverage of the building’s exterior and corridors, while a further 44 IP cameras cover all the classrooms.

In addition, each new classroom has both video and audio surveillance that captures any incidents within the classrooms for subsequent review.

KARLSBAD, Germany – Nov. 4, 2009. SMA Solar Technology AG, the world market leader in photovoltaic inverters, is introducing crossAuthor Linguistic authoring support, as an addition to the Across Language Server, to support their extensive translation needs. crossAuthor Linguistic, introduced a few weeks ago, along with the Across v5 product generation, enables technical writers to use the central translation memory and terminology system of Across, as well as the seamlessly integrated Controlled Language Authoring Tool (CLAT) of IAI Saarbrücken. The integration of the two technologies for authoring support provides both the database-based and the rule-based approach. It is the only product on the market offering both approaches in a single, integrated environment.

SMA's decision to choose crossAuthor Linguistic was made after thorough market research, and it has been using the Across Language Server as the central platform for all language resources and translation processes since 2008. The Language Server is seamlessly connected to the SCHEMA ST4 editorial system and other interacting systems.

Through the use of crossAuthor Linguistic, SMA will provide the authors of its technical documents with system-based support for the compliance with grammar and style rules and will ensure that source texts are written with subsequent translations in mind.

"Professionals agree that a high, perhaps even the highest efficiency boosting potential for translations lies in the consistent wording of the source texts," explains Professor Johann Haller of IAI Saarbrücken. IAI has developed the CLAT authoring tool and is one of the leading institutions in the field of linguistic intelligence. "Consider, for example, the consistency of the texts. If different variants of specialized terms are used, the number of variants is multiplied by the number of languages. The same is true of grammatical mistakes or other incorrect wording."

Other instruments include the possibility to limit the length of sentences or to define style rules for specific departments or text types.

Another way to minimize translation expenses is to use wording for which translations already exist. Thus, writers have all information needed, e.g. to decide whether to comply with a style rule or to reuse an existing phrase.

"The integration of the technologies and methods relevant for the product communication contributes to using synergies, streamlining processes, and improving the quality of the contents," explains Jürgen Sapara, Head of Technical Documentation, who is responsible for editorial aspects, as well as the subject of multilingualism at SMA Solar Technology AG. "This not only leads to a higher quality of source texts, but most importantly, better, faster, and more cost-effective foreign-language versions."

crossAuthor Linguistic is available as an add-on to all common editors, such as MS Word, Adobe FrameMaker, InDesign, PTC Arbortext, Just XMetaL, and others. For every sentence authors write, they see the actual editor, as well as corresponding wording and terminology entries from the Across databases and marks of the rule-based quality assurance by CLAT.

Nürnberg. The new version of SCHEMA ST4 features several highlights, among them the possibility for unified presentation of technical documentation, a new product information management (PIM) module, and more flexibility for the layout of text and graphical elements. In addition, this XML-based editing and content management system now offers extended reporting functionality, allowing users to uncover hidden potential for content reuse. The fully automated conversion of graphics is another option that has been added to the extended features of the new SCHEMA ST4. The software now supports the new EPUB format for the easy display of documentation on mobile devices. SCHEMA GmbH is presenting the new version of SCHEMA ST4 at the tekom annual conference, November 4-6 2009 in Wiesbaden (hall 1, booth 114).

SCHEMA GmbH has integrated an interactive designer in the new version of SCHEMA ST4, allowing for the creation of a consistent layout for all target formats. The user defines how text elements will be presented, selecting font type and size, and formatting. This information will be reused for all publications, whether for print, online or PDF formats, guaranteeing a unified presentation. Version 3 of SCHEMA ST4 also features rule-based conversion of high-quality graphics to standardized sizes. In addition, graphics that are already stored in the editing and content management system can be converted in batches. The user defines for these graphics what size, resolution and format the online, print or electronic versions should have. When generating the publication, SCHEMA ST4 uses these settings for all graphics.

SCHEMA ST4 With New PIM Module
SCHEMA ST4 now has its own PIM module. This allows product data, e.g. technical ratings or prices, to be maintained easily and used directly in documentation. Alternatively, the product data can be imported into the editing system from an ERP system via an interface (e.g. the standardized DPC connector from SAP). The data is hierarchically structured by attributes or characteristics in SCHEMA ST4. For example, one structure might contain all machines belonging to one group, including their model ranges. Each product can have different attributes or characteristics that can be inherited by subordinate groups. For product data classification, various classification systems are available. In the case of the descriptive models ETIM and eCl@ss for the electronics industry, the valid attributes for a product are defined by the classification.
An export interface allows product data to be exported to MS Excel where the data is displayed as tables classified according to defined attributes. These tables can then be used in documentation, e.g. for presenting technical properties.

SCHEMA ST4 also boasts additional features which allow for the creation of relationships between information modules. From a web of phrases, relevant content can be matched, and the phrases then used for navigation and searching.
More Flexibility in Positioning Text and Graphics

SCHEMA ST4 has been furnished with new features allowing users to create appealing layouts for such publications as flyers or product brochures. With a template editor, individual elements, e.g. pictures or text, can be easily positioned.

Finding Reuse Potential – Reducing Translation Costs
The reporting functionality has been extended once again in the new version of SCHEMA ST4. Users can now find out the degree of reuse for text modules. This evaluation can be made on a project basis or for all documentation. The results are displayed graphically in several variants. "The higher the rate of reuse, the less text needs to be translated," explains Stefan Freisler, CEO of SCHEMA GmbH. "With our extended reporting functionality, companies can clearly recognize unused potential for reuse and thus reduce their translation costs."
SCHEMA ST4 now also supports the EPUB format (acronym for electronic publication). EPUB is an open standard for e-books from the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). In August 2009, Google announced that in the context of its "Google Book Search" one million books are already available in EPUB format. Not only for publishers but also for technical documentation EPUB is a promising format for the future.

KARLSBAD – November 3, 2009. At SMA Solar Technology AG, the creation of multilingual product information is subject to comprehensive quality control and process security. For this purpose, the world market leader in photovoltaic inverters had decided to introduce crossAuthor Linguistic authoring support in addition to the Across Language Server. crossAuthor Linguistic enables technical writers to use the central translation memory and terminology system of Across as well as the seamlessly integrated Controlled Language Authoring Tool (CLAT) of IAI Saarbrücken. The integration of the two technologies for authoring support – database-based on the one hand and rule-based on the other – in crossAuthor Linguistic is unique in the market and was introduced a few weeks ago along with the Across v5 product generation. SMA's decision in favor of crossAuthor Linguistic represents the result of an extensive market evaluation.

SMA Solar Technology AG, listed in the TecDAX of the Frankfurt stock exchange since last year, is the world market leader in photovoltaic inverters, a central component of every solar system. With subsidiaries in eleven countries on four continents, the product and company communication volume, too, has grown considerably.

SMA Solar Technology AG has been using the Across Language Server as the central platform for all language resources and translation processes since 2008. It is seamlessly connected to the SCHEMA ST4 editorial system and other interacting systems.

Henceforth, SMA will provide the authors of its technical documents with system-based support for the compliance with grammar and style rules and make sure that source texts are written with the subsequent translation in mind. To this end, SMA deploys the crossAuthor Linguistic component as an extension to the existing Across Language Server.

crossAuthor Linguistic is available as an add-on to all common editors, such as MS Word, Adobe FrameMaker, InDesign, PTC Arbortext, Just XMetaL, and others. For every sentence he writes, the author sees the actual editor as well as corresponding wording and terminology entries from the Across databases and marks of the rule-based quality assurance by CLAT.

"Professionals agree that a high, perhaps even the highest efficiency boosting potential for translations lies in the consistent wording of the source texts", explains Professor Johann Haller of IAI Saarbrücken. IAI has developed the CLAT authoring tool and is one of the leading institutions in the field of linguistic intelligence. "Consider, for example, the consistency of the texts. If different variants of specialized terms are used, the number of variants is multiplied by the number of languages. The same is true of grammatical mistakes or other incorrect wording."

Other instruments include the possibility to limit the length of sentences or to define style rules for specific departments or text types. For example, regular use of direct or indirect address or the consistent use of active constructions affects the consistency and clarity of the texts. Most importantly, the subsequent translation is greatly facilitated.

Another way to minimize translation expenses is to use wording for which translations already exist. crossAuthor Linguistic is the only tool in the market that offers both the database and the rule-based approach in a single integrated environment. Thus, the writer has all information he needs, e.g. to decide whether to comply with a style rule or to reuse an existing phrase.

"The integration of the technologies and methods relevant for the product communication contributes to using synergies, streamlining processes, and improving the quality of the contents", explains Jürgen Sapara, Head of Technical Documentation, who is responsible for editorial aspects as well as the subject of multilingualism at SMA Solar Technology AG. "This not only leads to a higher quality of source texts, but also and most importantly to better, faster, and more inexpensive foreign-language versions."

The tekom Annual Conference, which will be held next week from November 4 to 6, 2009, in Wiesbaden, Germany, offers a fine opportunity for a closer look at the crossAuthor Linguistic authoring support. Both IAI (hall 4, booth 458) and Across Systems (hall 1, booth 115) will be present. In its lecture "Centralized translation management at SMA: How to keep an eye on processes, quality and costs", SMA Technology will provide insight into its project work.

London – 3 November, 2009 – Hitachi Consulting United Kingdom today announced the successful implementation of Betfair’s new financials analytics capabilities. Hitachi Consulting had previously been Betfair’s systems integrator for Microsoft’s BI Suite. This ongoing initiative takes data from Betfair’s Sun financial system, integrates it into a structured Oracle data warehouse solution, where it is then accessed by Microsoft BI to deliver valuable KPIs back to the business. This is one of the first real-time systems to replicate data from an Oracle data warehouse and build Microsoft Business Intelligence cubes in near real time.

Betfair, the world's biggest online betting community, is striving to become the pre-eminent betting platform for the Internet. After launching the world's first successful online betting exchange in June 2000, Betfair has grown into a multi-billion dollar business with an established portfolio of online gaming products including poker, casino and games. The company now has in excess of two-and-a-half million registered customers with over 50 percent of all new registrations coming from outside the UK and Ireland.

“I had personally worked with Hitachi Consulting UK in a previous company and have been consistently impressed with the caliber of their self-motivated consultants,” said Chris Newstead, Head of Business Intelligence for Betfair. “I knew the Hitachi Consulting team would be able to hit the ground running and integrate well with our other teams. Their expertise around Oracle data warehouse and Microsoft’s suite of Business Intelligence will aid us in working toward a successful implementation. The application will transform the speed and efficiency with which users can analyse business performance and drill down into detail. The use of a familiar tool such as Excel 2007 to report directly from BI data makes this a valuable planning and reporting investment for analysts and non-analysts alike.”

The project is in the final stages of testing and is scheduled to go live in early November 2009. By addressing the internal data integration issues and eliminating the need for manual intervention, the new system will provide substantial traction for Betfair’s finance team, and deliver valuable, real-time data for other areas of departments, including marketing, to help drive business performance.

Abingdon, United Kingdom, 2nd November 2009 – Toumaz Technology Limited, the leading provider of ultra-low power wireless infrastructure for body monitoring solutions and wholly owned subsidiary of Toumaz Holdings (AIM: TMZ.L), today announces that it has begun clinical trials of its Sensium™ “digital plaster” wireless body monitor. The trial of the ultra-low power, ultra-small size body monitoring system is being conducted by a specialist clinical research team at Imperial College London. The study, which is being funded by global healthcare corporation CareFusion (a recent spin-out of Cardinal Health) and conducted at St Mary’s Hospital (part of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust) is expected to demonstrate the high quality physiological data that can be continuously acquired by wireless, unobtrusive Sensium-enabled devices. Initial results are expected by the end of December this year.

In the milestone trial, volunteers and patient groups will be provided with a wearable Sensium digital “plaster” or “patch” that can continuously monitor multiple vital signs, including temperature, heart rate and respiration. The focus of the trial will be to verify that the physiological data acquired by the digital plaster system within a clinical setting is equivalent to that acquired using current gold-standard monitors in use in hospitals – equipment that is often bulky, expensive and fixed, such that patient mobility is impaired. The Sensium digital plaster is wireless and unobtrusive, meaning that patients can remain ambulatory in hospital while still being monitored. This flexibility allows continuous vital sign monitoring to be extended to patients who would not normally be monitored, thereby offering the potential to increase patient safety. The Sensium digital plaster is a disposable device with a working lifetime of several days, after which the plaster is disposed of in the appropriate waste receptacle.

The trial is being conducted in three phases, an initial phase with non-patient volunteers followed by two patient study groups: patients recovering from surgery, and patients with specific medical conditions in the general wards.
The digital plaster is based on Toumaz’s new generation AMx™ semiconductor IP platform, which enables Sensium wireless technology that has been specifically designed for Medical Body Area Networks (MBANs) and non-intrusive physiological monitoring. Sensium provides the complete wireless infrastructure to allow healthcare providers to monitor the human body continuously, wirelessly and intelligently and at low-cost, with the robustness and medical compliance normally associated with considerably more expensive capital equipment. Sensium technology has already been validated and CE marked in Toumaz’s Life Pebble non-disposable body worn monitoring devices.

The Sensium digital plaster is targeted for use in clinical monitoring applications such as acute care, general ward environments, tele-care, chronic disease monitoring, and in care home settings. For all these applications, disposability provides convenience, simplicity and patient comfort while ensuring infection control is maintained to the highest standards. Powered by thin batteries, body-worn Sensium-enabled monitors deliver clinical-quality data and intelligently integrate it into an electronic medical record via a network built on Toumaz’s power-optimised wireless operating and networking system, Nano Sensor Protocol (NSP).

Dr Stephen Brett, a Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London, who is leading the trial, explains: “This technology has the potential to improve the capturing of patient’s vital signs within all areas of the hospital – enabling key physiological data to be acquired at an increased frequency, with the minimum of inconvenience to patients, and without the requirement to connect patients to immobile pieces of equipment. This raises the possibility of technology: improving hospital safety systems; enhancing the efficiency of adding vital sign data to patient records: and potentially freeing valuable nursing staff time for other patient care responsibilities.”

“This is a very significant step on the path towards pervasive deployment of Sensium-enabled monitoring devices across a range of healthcare settings,” comments Toumaz Technology Co-Founder Keith Errey. “Current patient data acquisition systems are mostly hospital-based, expensive, generally wired, and non-mobile. Even so-called portable equipment is still large, and prohibitively expensive for widespread use. Our Sensium technology platform is the step change that enables the development of clinical grade yet low-cost and unobtrusive wireless body monitoring solutions for the first time. We are tremendously excited with the success so far of this important trial in partnership with Imperial College London.”

Professor Chris Toumazou FRS, CEO and Founder of Toumaz Holdings, and Director of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London, adds: “It is fantastic to see the Sensium technology coming to commercial fruition, and for us to be launching this study at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. This is a key stage in our commercial journey and one that opens the door to some very exciting applications of our technology in clinical environments next year.” He continues: “The business case is simple: by using the disposable digital plaster to monitor on a 24-7 basis, critical medical information can be monitored that would not otherwise have been detected. This preventative form of medicine will mean that less people could require intensive care in the future, saving lives and at the same time providing greater efficiencies and cost savings to the NHS. Once proven in a hospital setting then the digital plaster can be deployed in the home in the same way.”
