ALR Technologies Inc. (OTC:ALRT) landed FDA clearance for its Health-e-Connect System for diabetes management programs.

The web-based patient management platform allows doctors to remote monitor diabetic patients, a system that could result in significant savings to the the U.S. health care system through enhanced adherence to care plans, according to ALRT.

"The HeC system represents a breakthrough for clinician/patient communication to enhance disease management and improve health outcomes," said CEO Sidney Chan in prepared remarks.

"This FDA clearance is a major stride in our commitment to building long-term shareholder value as there is a wide spectrum of chronic diseases which the HeC platform can be deployed to improve outcomes and contain costs."

The 510(k) clearance allows the Atlanta, Ga.-based company to start its sales launch of its Health-e-Connect platform, which it plans to expand in 2012.
