What is MDvista™?

MDvista™, a Silicon Valley Internet company, develops dynamic next-generation telemedicine applications and services to enhance the quality and access of healthcare on a global scale. Vibrant worldwide physician and patient communities built around MDvista’s products and services ensure an active exchange of clinical and scientific information. Operations commenced in October 1999.

What is Telemedicine?

Telemedicine is the use of emerging technologies, e.g., Internet, wireless communication, to remotely deliver healthcare services. Globally, physicians are able to provide enhanced quality and access of healthcare to patients, e.g., remotely diagnose and treat patients, without being constrained by distance or time. Telemedicine applications span local and international physician-to-physician contact, e.g., case consultation including imaging through digital transmission, highest quality online professional education, and direct physician-to-patient encounters through Web-enabled remote monitoring systems.

MDvista Products and Services

MDvista’s United States and international operations and initiatives focus on three product lines:

• Remote Monitoring MDvista, in partnership with leading medical device manufacturers and physicians, develops Web-enabled applications for remote monitoring medical devices. Patient data on conditions such as sleep apnea, cardiac arrhythmias, and diabetes is transmitted from remote devices in real time via the Web directly to the physician’s office, enhancing clinical capabilities and patient outcomes.
• Professional Education MDvista offers physicians proprietary online educational programs, developed by highly respected physician experts from leading schools of medicine such as Stanford, Harvard, Rush, and University of Chicago.
  
  MDvista’s online educational programs include:
  • MDvista Journal of Medicine^TM. Best-in-practice articles written and edited by 38 MDvista-affiliated physician editors for primary care physicians and specialists.
  • MDvista Journal of Medicine–Greater China. Articles edited by MDvista Greater China’s prestigious editorial board and translated articles from MDvista Journal of Medicine™.
  • Remote monitoring courses and disease knowledge base. MDvista provides highest-quality technologist training courses for its medical device partners. An in-depth disease knowledge base on remotely monitored conditions, e.g., sleep apnea, cardiac arrhythmias, diabetes, complements MDvista’s remote monitoring applications.
  • Continuing medical education (CME). Online journal articles, e-lectures, and e-abstracts are conveniently available for CME credits. Physician users’ feedback comments are available for viewing.
• Diagnostic Clinics MDvista is developing state-of-the art online diagnostic clinics, beginning in Asia, offering diagnostic imaging services such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging, and computed tomography (CT) scans, performed on an outpatient basis. The images will be transmitted digitally via high-speed circuits to MDvista-affiliated physicians at United States–based leading medical centers for remote diagnosis.
• MDvista Greater China, a major initiative in business expansion, includes the launch in Fall 2000 of the online highly respected MDvista Journal of Medical–Greater China, with contributions from physicians at leading Chinese and United States schools of medicine and current healthcare news. More telemedicine products and services designed for the Greater China markets are in development. Building upon the successful partnership with physicians in world-class medical centers in the United States, MDvista is capturing major opportunities to further link Greater China to the global healthcare community.
