Integra Medical Solutions

Integra Medical Solutions has developed a low-cost, easy-to-use EKG device to be used as part of a telehealth system for cardiac patients in developing nations. Utilizing the cost-effective 2G cellular network, which is now becoming widely available throughout the developing world, the device transmits patient EKGs to a secure database that physicians here in the United States who are interested in humanitarian medicine can access and interpret in their own free time as part of a micro-volunteering program. The treatment plan recommended by the physician gets relayed back to medical NGOs working on the ground who can provide any necessary interventions to the patient that do not require advanced medical knowledge such as heart rhythm medications.
