Claricode plans to use data from Continua certified devices to create custom medical software for its clients that will help people live healthier and more productive lives.
Waltham, MA -- Claricode announces its involvement and support of the Continua Health Alliance. As a medical software development company, Claricode helps its clients develop software to help people live longer and healthier lives.
Medical and health device manufacturers can more rapidly develop interoperable devices and services using industry-developed connectivity standards. And healthcare providers can offer better quality care through personalized health solutions assembled from a rich marketplace of interoperable healthcare devices and services.
The Continua Health Alliance is a collaborative industry organization dedicated to bringing together standards and diverse technology to create new health and wellness solutions. The Continua Health Alliance envisions a market place of interoperable devices that enable better care, empower consumers and connect healthcare providers to their patients. Focused on three key categories: fitness, chronic disease management, and aging independently; the Continua Health Alliance promotes better management of health and wellness at every stage of life.
"First and foremost, this alliance is about helping to empower people with the information they need to better manage their health and the health of their loved ones," says David Whitlinger, Chairman of the Continua Health Alliance. By bringing home health devices and fitness monitor readings into a single, standard format, physicians and patients can gain a clearer, more complete view of medical histories, medications and readings.
"The benefits of interoperability go beyond improved healthcare for consumers. It provides the opportunity for a more cost effective and efficient health care system," says Marc Holland, program director, Health Provider Research, Health Industry Insights. "Medical and health device manufacturers can more rapidly develop interoperable devices and services using industry-developed connectivity standards. And healthcare providers can offer better quality care through personalized health solutions assembled from a rich marketplace of interoperable healthcare devices and services."
Claricode creates applications for its clients that patients and/or providers use to analyze these new sets of data. Claricode is already an active member in the Continua effort to create a more seamless path toward patient wellness.
