Wireless platform for device connectivity over mobile phone networks: The Continua Health Alliance has developed a set of standards and protocols to facilitate communication between different medical devices. This was meant to allow various manufacturers to create devices that would automatically be compatible with those from other firms. Cambridge Consultants teamed up with Qualcomm to create a standard wireless unit that can communicate data from a Continua-certified device to remote servers. This technology, in one swoop, may allow any compatible device to be used in telemedicine applications.
