BodyTel | The Telehealth Company

• Telemedical Approach to Chronic Disease Management BodyTel is an INTEGRATOR and specializes in telemedical monitoring and management systems for chronic diseases like diabetes.

• Comprehensive Knowledge We combine our knowledge in telecommunications, internet and medical technology to create new products and services for the changing needs of global health.

• The System - An Integrated Process The BodyTel system is a sophisticated open platform, allowing a completely new approach to effective patient management, consisting of several components used together in an integrated process. Namely, state of the art wireless transmission enabled meters (e.g. blood glucose meter), a wide variety of mobile phones and a secure internet platform. • The whole BodyTel system, including the sensors, the software for the mobile phone and for the database is approved as a medical product!

BodyTel | Company Positioning • Monitoring Centers Looking for partners that can feed their data into real-time monitoring and management systems

• Telemedicine Companies Telecommunications know-how but don’t own proprietary devices with recurring revenue streams requiring them to shift costs for their services to patients and payers

• Telco Providers Seeking opportunities to enter the healthcare market to capture market share

• Device Manufacturers Experienced in diagnostics but not in Telehealth, IT or Mobile Technologies. Slow to change current behavior.

• Platform and Internet Companies Potentially partner companies. - e.g. BodyTel could feed its measurement data into Google‘s future health records etc Æ BodyTel has a unique positioning - No direct competitors and numerous potential partners in different areas...

Transmitters

BodyTel | BodyTel Mobile – The mobile App

• BodyTel Mobile is not only a mobile transmitter but also a mobile diary. • It receives measurements via Bluetooth connections and transmits the data to the central database using the mobile internet. •

Also it enables users to track other crucial information whereever they are (e.g. medication, activities, meals, etc.)

•

It is currently running on Symbian based platforms only but we currently port it to Android and Windows Mobile as well.

•

Additional iPhone/pad – App for manually entered events and monitoring of patients.

BodyTel | BodyTel Gate The BodyTel Gate can automatically receive and transmit measured values from vital sensors to the monitoring database. •Weight: 280 g •Dimensions: 15,5 cm x 3,7 cm x 10,6 cm •Colored Touchscreen: 4,3 Inch •Interface: Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Module (100m range) •Transmission: via integrated SIM module or via connected internet router •Over the Air Updates

• receives, stores and displays patient data • 24/7 access to patient data via normal webbrowser for patients and authorized caregivers • real-time alerts for caregivers in case patient values exceed predefined thresholds • individual alerting settings (e-mail, text message, fax) • can be integrated into other EHR Systems (iframe, interface, etc.)

Challenges

BodyTel | Challenges in telemonitoring

• Short product cycles in the mobile market business • Proprietary interfaces on mobile devices • Complex, heterogeneous data tariffs globally • Proof of cost savings (Where? How much? How fast?) • Re-imbursement models yet to be developed • Data security issues require constant attention both technically and communication-wise • Patient Data requires often local Server Hosting in the nation • Technical standards only under development (hardware, software, communication protocols, etc.) • User intervention needs to be the least possible to generate acceptance • New care pathways not yet in place - and tie-in of GPs rather challenging • Certification issues not yet 100% clear with Notified Bodies

BodyTel | Challenges with Bluetooth in the healthcare market

Vital Sensors • Integration of existing vital sensors with Bluetooth • Most of the time there is no standard API, which makes the integration timely, costly and cumbersome • Integration of newly developed vital sensors with Bluetooth • What is the best technology to go with (Standard Bluetooth vs. Low Energy Bluetooth [or another technology?]) taking the time constraints into consideration that it takes to develop a Medical Device Product • If Standard Bluetooth which protocol is the chosen one (SPP vs. HDP [or both?] • The communication flow taking the approach of real time transmission into consideration, but what if …

BodyTel | Challenges with Bluetooth in the healthcare market

Mobile End Device Market • Broad mobile end device market with compatibility issues • • • •

SPP implemented? HDP coming or not? Apple proprietary approach Windows Phone 7, not yet possible

• Fast moving and changing end device market • New platforms • New devices

• Still, almost no Low Energy Bluetooth devices available

Thank you. Any questions left?
