ExpressMD Solutions, a joint venture formed by Authentidate Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: ADAT) and EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. (OTC: ESCL) to provide remote patient monitoring telehealth systems and services that improve care for patients, recently closed its first user contract and distribution agreement with Cyntrist, a comprehensive diabetic care company headquartered in Central Florida. Under the terms of the agreement, Cyntrist will distribute Express MD’s systems and services throughout the Southeastern U.S., including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Utilizing ExpressMD’s remote patient monitoring systems and telehealth services to monitor patients diagnosed with diabetes, Cyntrist’s patients will be able to record personal health data, including glucose levels and weight in the privacy of their own home. This data is then transmitted to each patient’s care provider and is recorded, allowing care providers to adjust treatment accordingly and provide an enhanced level of care.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 24 million people, or 8 percent of the U.S. population, have diabetes, an increase of more than 3 million people in approximately two years. The core advantage of the ExpressMD system is that it is easy for patients to use and reduces the need for regular office visits, ultimately saving the patient both time and money.
