FDA clearance for Verizon's remote monitoring platform
Verizon has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for Converged Health Management, a cloud-based, remote patient-monitoring medical device.
This is the first time Verizon has sought and gained FDA clearance for a healthcare solution.
Verizon’s new solution, which resides in the company’s HIPAA-ready cloud, provides clinicians with access to up-to-date patient data from connected biometric devices.
Verizon’s Converged Health Management solution will be commercially available in late 2013.
