Continua Health Alliance
A group of major companies from areas such as healthcare, information technology, medical devices and wireless, announced a partnership today called the Continua Health Alliance.
The Continua Health Alliance will select standards, write interoperability guidelines and wrestle with issues about how to secure and get insurance reimbursement for home-use health care systems.
The group foresees a market for a broad set of fitness, disease management and elderly care systems that connect to each other as well as to the Web through PCs, cellphones and digital TVs. It aims to create a logo program for compliant products that could ship as early as 2008.
