HIPAA Compliance

The MedStar System is HIPAA Compliant:

No Patient Identifier stored on the individual MedStar Unit.

Data is transmitted encrypted.

De-encryption only at secure sites.

Data available only via secure, 128-bit encrypted and password protected web sites.

Patients can feel safe that their personal information cannot be read by anyone except those who are supposed to.

Physicians / Healthcare Organizations have a traceable ‘forensic’ record of exactly who has ever seen, modified, downloaded, or transmitted data – which provides peace of mind protection.

Caregiver Benefits – access from anywhere, and with no additional hardware technology: just a normal web browser, which can be accessed from home, office, mobile phone, or wireless PDA.

Security Management

Personnel / Procedures: All persons working in, near, or potentially with MedStar servers sign HIPAA

confidentiality agreements, NDAs, and have work history background checks. Emergency Recovery Procedures exist and are implemented.

Physical: All servers are in a locked rooms with limited and controlled access. Server room is environmentally controlled. Fire Extinguishers are located throughout the server room. Building is single-tenant, and all doors are secured via alarms. UPS and generator power backup is present.

Disaster Recovery: Disaster Recovery procedures defined and all employees are trained. Recovery tests performed annually. Offsite hot-sites and geographically distributed hosts supported to mitigate disasters. Back-up schedule is followed and tapes are stored in a secure offsite location.

The Three Different User Types

Patients – Patients can only view their own information. They have no edit or print capabilities.

Healthcare Professionals – Physicians can view their own personal information, and have the ability to view and edit their patients’ information, as well as to prescribe monitoring procedures for patients, and manage their own home medical device inventory.

System Managers – Managers have read, write, and view abilities over all parts of the service and database. They can also add new devices into inventory, and add manual readings into a patient’s electronic medical record.

Each user has a unique login ID and password, and is identified within the database with a unique ‘User ID’.

What Makes MedStar Ideal

‘A la carte’ approach – the system is designed to be modular and on

the fly customizable to suit any situation without any hassle.

This also keeps costs down by allowing you to only buy the components a particular patient needs. You can always add other components as the need arises, or swap out older components for newer ones with zero upgrade charges.

Designed to the lowest common denominator – simple for any patient of any age or physical state.

Inexpensive – medical devices sent to the home often don’t come back or come back broken. A broken/lost MedStar is only a $250 loss, not multiple thousands of lost dollars.

Page 27: The MedStar Remote Monitoring System - MedStar.pdf2 Cybernet Overview and Background Expertise in Medical Device Development, Man-Machine Interfaces and Robotics. Network Computer

27

MedStar Value Proposition

Web-based data delivery system – health care providers can access data from anywhere via secure access.

Continuous Improvement to the entire MedStar System – patient units and software are always being improved based on customer feedback.

We are a research and development company – we can solve any and all problems immediately, without the need for expensive outsourcing. If you desire a feature in the system – software or hardware, we are happy, willing and capable of making changes to suit your needs on a very rapid turn-around time.

The ability for you to customize the site yourself – add your own educational materials, customize the site, service, and system as your own programs change.

Page 28: The MedStar Remote Monitoring System - MedStar.pdf2 Cybernet Overview and Background Expertise in Medical Device Development, Man-Machine Interfaces and Robotics. Network Computer

28

MedStar Reduces Risk Reduced Risk In:

Regulatory: HIPAA – totally compliant, FDA – totally compliant. Very quick initial up time is possible.

Low Financial Expenditure: MedStar is a low cost solution, and can be leased for less than $1 per patient, per day.

Cybernet is a financially stable company, and is dedicated to the MedStar product line. Cybernet’s MedStar can weather any delays in reimbursement through ventures in other areas.

Cybernet is an R&D house, and can control the development of the MedStar to best suit your needs.

We have worked in teams for over 20 years.

MedStar Overcomes Top Three Healthcare Challenges

Biggest Challenge is how to provide preventative medicine versus reactive medicine, in order to improve patient outcomes. We’re all already convinced that telemedicine is the way to do that.

So what are we left with? Patient Acceptance – the MedStar is unobtrusive and easy

to use. Healthcare Provider Acceptance – the MedStar system

allows providers to manage more patients, more easily, using their home computer.

Cost of service – the MedStar is very low cost.

Page 30: The MedStar Remote Monitoring System - MedStar.pdf2 Cybernet Overview and Background Expertise in Medical Device Development, Man-Machine Interfaces and Robotics. Network Computer

30

Patient Compliance – 95% Patients felt empowered by taking an active role in their

own treatments.

Patient Acceptance – 91% Patients found the MedStar System easy to use, and

wanted to continue using the system when the study duration ended.

14% Fewer Errors in reported data When MedStar collected data was compared to patient

reported data, the MedStar data contained fewer erroneous results.

Proven MedStar Results

Page 31: The MedStar Remote Monitoring System - MedStar.pdf2 Cybernet Overview and Background Expertise in Medical Device Development, Man-Machine Interfaces and Robotics. Network Computer

31

92% report an increased knowledge about their disease and increased discipline in areas such as diet, exercise and activity level.

100% of patients report an increased awareness of things they do in everyday life that can or does affect their disease.

100% of patients report increased willingness to follow physician advice regarding their disease, and increased comfort knowing their data is being monitored and reported to the physician.

83% report a decrease in the number of visits to the doctor, ER or hospital admissions.

Outcome Results

Information Analytics

32

Medstar EMR and databases are extensible and flexible.

Web & phone interfaces are built on re-tailorable report writing technology so pages, reports, and presentations are extensible.

We have use-case tailor codes for diabetes, COPD, CHF, wound care, etc., but the core of the system is not highly specialized for specific disease states.

Our goal has been to build the system to be as measurement, dialog, and device-agnostic as possible.

The system as built is indefinitely scalable, and can be hosted practically anywhere.

50

Customer Service Standards

Calibration Needs: ZERO It is impractical for patients to be expected to calibrate their

devices, and expensive and inefficient for devices to need to be shipped back and forth between caregiver and patient for calibration. This completely negates the reasons for remote monitoring.

The MedStar was designed to need no calibration, and the OTS components that operate with the MedStar System were chosen for their ease of use – including needing no calibration.

Typical Roll Out and Implementation

1. Cybernet sets up servers – this is ‘behind the scenes’, no patients or providers involved. Servers are located at Cybernet, in our secure data center, or at your secure data center.

2. You decide the scope of the project (numbers of MedStars, numbers of sites, numbers of patients and staff needed).

3. Cybernet trains your staff, patients, management on the use of the MedStar Patient Units and MedStar Data System.

4. Cybernet ships products.

5. Your staff (health care professionals) begin using the system, delivering MedStars to patients, and training patients.

6. Your health care professionals monitor patients using the MedStar Web System – through daily log in, and automatic email/pager/other notifications of critical events.
