BodyTel | The Telehealth Company

• Telemedical Approach to Chronic Disease ManagementBodyTel 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 thechanging needs of global health.

• The System - An Integrated ProcessThe 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 CentersLooking for partners that can feed their data into real-time monitoring and management systems

• Telemedicine CompaniesTelecommunications 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 ProvidersSeeking opportunities to enter the healthcare market to capture market share

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

• Platform and Internet CompaniesPotentially partner companies. - e.g. BodyTel could feed its measurement data into Google‘s future health records etc

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

Database

BodyTel | Monitoring Platform www.bodytel.com

• receives, stores and displays patient data

• 24/7 access to patient data via normal web-browser 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

• 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 …

Vital Sensors

BodyTel | Challenges with Bluetooth in the healthcare 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

Mobile End Device Market
