Cerner has announced a new partnership with Qualcomm Life to help extend Cerner's remote patient monitoring offerings.
Qualcomm Life, a subsidiary of Qualcomm Inc., collects, stores and aggregates patient data from connected medical devices on its 2net Platform. Through the new collaboration, data collected on this platform will then be transmitted to the Cerner Millenium EHR through Cerner's device connectivity platform CareAware.
"The industry is more concerned than ever about monitoring a patient's health outside the walls of the hospital through intelligently connected devices," said John Gresham, vice president of DeviceWorks at Cerner. "Cerner's CareAware device connectivity platform integrated with Qualcomm Life's technology will enable prescribable, turn-key monitoring capabilities that can be tailored to the needs of a person's chronic conditions across the care continuum, including the home."
