YEAR
Twin Cities Company Receives Second Award This Year For its State-of-the-Art
Technology
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., (August 28,
2004) – Randy Moore, CEO
of American TeleCare – the leader in the telehealth industry – was
recently named one of Finance and Commerce newspaper's 2004 Innovators
of the Year. The award recognizes companies that have created innovative
products or services that have succeeded in the marketplace or
show early promise.
"It's an honor to be recognized with these other cutting
edge companies," said Randy Moore, CEO of American TeleCare,
Inc. "It's an exciting time – with technology enabling
us to do so much more; in our case, allowing us to provide solutions
for patients, physicians and caregivers."
Without ever leaving the office or
clinic, doctors and nurses can make personal "visits" to patients, at home, using
American TeleCare's state-of-the-art voice and video combined with
patented peripheral medical devices – such as blood pressure
monitors, digital stethoscopes and glucose meters – over
a standard telephone line. As the leader in this emerging method
of healthcare delivery, American TeleCare has installed more than
95 percent of all video-based home telehealth programs nationwide.
Earlier this year, American TeleCare
was awarded the 2004 Frost & Sullivan
Award for Technology Innovation, which recognized American TeleCare's
pioneering contribution to remote patient monitoring, and for the
development of its proprietary CareTone® Telephonic Stethoscope.
The 2004 Innovators of the Year will be honored at a luncheon
