ExpressMD™ Solutions Selected to Supply Chronic Heart Disease Telehealth Program in Florida

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ

September 29, 2009

ExpressMD™ Solutions, a provider of telehealth monitoring systems and services for patients with chronic illnesses, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Dr. Benedict Maniscalco to utilize its Electronic House Call™ telehealth monitoring solution in his cardiology practice as well as for his new Florida based Chronic Heart Disease program for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients. The Electronic House Call telehealth solution allows physicians to remotely monitor patient vital signs, thereby helping to reduce the cost of patient care while enabling health care providers to improve their patients’ medical outcomes.

The program will be directed by Dr.  Maniscalco, a widely known cardiologist in Tampa, Florida, and will begin with CHF patients at Dr. Maniscalco’s practice.  Dr. Maniscalco anticipates expanding this initiative to multiple cardiovascular heart specialty centers throughout Florida. 

“Electronic House Call is an important step toward empowering CHF patients to manage their own chronic disease effectively,” said Dr Maniscalco. “The CHF program emphasizes preventive cardiology care and we believe that this product will support us in this effort.  We also expect this program to have advantages for health insurance plans by effectively reducing hospital readmissions as well as the overall cost of CHF treatment.” 

The Electronic House Call monitoring devices and secure web-based telehealth service enable unassisted in-home patient vital signs monitoring and remote management by practitioners. This advanced system is designed to aid wellness, foster preventative care, and deliver better continuity of care to specific patient segments such as the elderly, special needs or pediatric patients with chronic illnesses who require regular monitoring of serious medical conditions.

Dr. Maniscalco is regarded as a thought leader, innovator and educator in cardiovascular medicine advancements. Dr. Maniscalco has specialized in cardiovascular diseases since 1976.  He serves the American College of Cardiology at the local, state and national levels in various leadership roles, directly influencing national heath policy. Additionally, Dr. Maniscalco serves as Chairman of Heartbeat International (www.heartbeatintl.org), a worldwide philanthropic organization providing permanent pacemakers and other cardiac devices to the indigent population of the world. Heartbeat International currently operates in 23 countries internationally.
