SINGAPORE — (Marketwire) — 03/26/13 — , a provider of health monitoring connectivity solutions, and , which offers consumer health monitoring services and devices, today announced a partnership to provide combined consumer and health care provider fitness and health monitoring solutions.
Effective fitness and health monitoring requires that consumer data be made available to health care providers remotely — which also gives consumers visibility into their progress and measurements. ConnectedHealth provides health care organizations with remote health monitoring solutions via the ConnectedHealth and care provider applications. Fitbug-s products offer users personalized health programs by tracking their progress in terms of weight, activity and blood pressure.

ConnectedHealth-s eHealth platform 3.0 (EH3.0) is a secure personal health record Software-as-a-Service platform that facilitates end-to-end connectivity between medical devices and electronic medical records. The EH3.0 platform supports connectivity with ConnectedHealth-s proprietary and Continua-based gateway devices and applications, and FitBug-s personal health management systems.
Consumers measure their personal fitness and health with Fitbug weight scales, activity monitors and blood pressure monitors. Health care providers access the eHealth platform to improve their patient management regime by monitoring a patient-s health condition. The benefits include:
Improved patient engagement and ability to self-manage care
Improved provider engagement
Patient loyalty
