Bluetooth technology is chosen as the approved standard of healthcare equipment

Bluetooth technology Alliance today announced that Bluetooth wireless technology is already in healthcare and technology industry leading organizations Continua Health Alliance is chosen as the approved standards, Continua is healthcare technology research and development of Enterprise Alliance to establish a comprehensive, cross-operating products personal electronic medical equipment programmes for the purpose.

Continua to upcoming wireless Bluetooth low energy technology specifications into their Continua Health Alliance design guidelines for the second version, the selection of Bluetooth low energy technology specifications can present in Bluetooth healthcare device profile, only applied to the first version of Continua design guidelines in wireless technology specification further expansion.

Bluetooth low energy technology is an energy-saving and provide short-distance transport of wireless technology for small mobile devices or configuration mini-plate devices such as watches, medical and fitness sensors establish a wireless connection.

Bluetooth low energy technology is characterized by low power consumption, small and low cost preferably for Continua to provide a reliable portable medical equipment applications, suitable for large numbers of individual users.

Bluetooth technology Alliance Executive Director Michael Foley, Ph.d., (Michael Foley, Ph. D.): 「introduction Continua selection is under development and is expected to be formally adopted by the end of Bluetooth low energy technology-reflects the Bluetooth wireless technology in electronic medical range limitless space for development.

」

After ten months of rigorous selection, the Bluetooth technology from the multiple wireless technologies in 2005, was elected in a personal health and fitness market of wireless technology that can be applied to the display, the heartbeat sensor and low energy consumption to a mobile device.

Chairman of the Board and Director of Continua Rick Cnossen, said: 「introduction of Bluetooth wireless technology research and development of the Union not only as we design guidelines for superior technology, the more our members brought top of testing and certification program.

Continua and Bluetooth technology Alliance cooperation, the introduction of Bluetooth wireless technology is the natural path of development. 」

The entire radio selection process consists of Continua and low cost energy radio group, Continua technical working group and a member of the Board of Directors, Continua a participatory, all team consists of technology and health care industry's leading experts and a study by an independent third party consulting firm to provide research reports and guidelines after 10 months of rigorous selection process, and from multiple outstanding technology.

From the multiple ranges such as power consumption, the popularity of mobile phone applications, the required distance and estimated market penetration and so thoroughly consider the last elected Bluetooth technology as the most suitable applications.
