Status Solutions, AFrame Digital form telehealth alliance

Software developer Status Solutions has partnered with wireless health and safety monitoring system provider AFrame Digital for remote patient monitoring.

Status will market and sell Reston, Va.-based AFrame’s mobile health and safety monitoring system. In addition, Status has integrated AFrame’s wrist monitor, which works with wireless networks to record and transmit users' heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygenation, weight, glucose, location and activity patterns with the Situational Awareness and Response Assistant (SARA) from Status.

Alerts can be sent from the AFrame system to SARA and then delivered to communication devices, the Charlottesville, Va.-based Status reported.

Multiple individuals may simultaneously be monitored in a home or long-term care facility, and data are trended to create personal baselines, with exceptions generating a mobile alert to remote caregivers, family members or fellow seniors in a community support arrangement, according to Status.
