        that supports the secure collection of all types of data related to

        health and lifestyle.

    --  Acute and general care - From centralized monitoring and a single point

        of interoperability, to clinician mobility and effective alarm

        management, technology is meant to help ease clinician challenges - not

        overwhelm them.

    --  Enterprise telehealth - Leveraging telehealth-enabled clinical programs,

        patient data and computer-based algorithms, care teams can remotely

        monitor and consult to address patient populations across the health

        continuum and improve care by reducing costly readmissions.

    --  Home monitoring - Senior patients and their caregivers want confidence

        and peace of mind to live safe, healthy and connected independent lives.

        Through a wearable medical alert service, seniors can get access to help

        when and where they need it when an emergency occurs.

    --  Imaging and informatics - By streamlining the management and analysis of

        patient data for radiology, cardiology and pathology through seamless

        interactions with core hospital information systems, health systems can

        balance clinical workflow, improving patient care and economic value.

    --  Sleep and respiratory care - Gaining insights into consumer needs can

        lead to healthier patients and best practices. Addressing complex sleep

        conditions may be eased with a focus on informatics, data management and

        patient compliance.
