This Health Industry Insights Perspective compares and contrasts two separate announcements by Intel and Microsoft, both made on November 10, 2008, of remote patient monitoring (RPM) pilot projects each firm is conducting with leading healthcare organizations: Intel is conducting field trials of its new Intel Health Guide (IHG), an Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared medical device that connects patients with chronic conditions to their providers, at four separate healthcare organizations representing four different care management delivery models. Microsoft and the Cleveland Clinic are conducting a similar remote patient monitoring pilot study that will involve a combination of commercially available home health monitoring devices, Microsoft HealthVault and Cleveland Clinic's MyChart personal health record system. |
