GE Healthcare Introduces CARESCAPE Telemetry Platform for Wireless Patient Monitoring

WAUKESHA, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GE Healthcare introduced today its new CARESCAPE(TM) Telemetry platform, a wireless patient monitoring offering for hospitals. Built on GE CARESCAPE Enterprise Access(TM) and leveraging GE ApexPro(R) CH Telemetry, GE CARESCAPE telemetry enables hospitals to simultaneously leverage multiple telemetry frequencies and coordinate cell phone, Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies on one infrastructure.

The new CARESCAPE Telemetry offering consists of a seamless integration between ApexPro CH Transmitter, CARESCAPE Enterprise Access, CARESCAPE Telemetry Server, CARESCAPE T14 Transmitter and other components of an ApexPro Telemetry System. It provides dual-band capabilities enabling hospitals to simultaneously leverage the two protected frequency bands-- 600 MHz and 1.4 GHz -- in Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) with a single, central telemetry system. Hospitals can monitor up to 438 patients while ensuring that critical patient data is sent securely without interference. Hospitals using GE Healthcare ApexPro CH telemetry transmitters have the flexibility to leverage the existing 600 MHz frequency band transmitters and expand into the 1.4 GHz frequency band with the CARESCAPE Telemetry T14 Transmitter on CARESCAPE Enterprise Access. Powered by MobileAccess and its Wire-it-Once infrastructure, CARESCAPE Enterprise Access seamlessly unites hospital wireless networks into one infrastructure, helping to eliminate coverage drop-out and downtime. As a hospital's wireless needs grow, this Wire-it-Once infrastructure can help reduce the costs and infection-control issues associated with installing new cables and antennas.
