Cerner Corp. and Qualcomm Life Inc. announced an agreement to extend Cerner’s medical device connectivity capabilities beyond the hospital to the home. Cerner will leverage Qualcomm Life’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-listed 2net Platform and Hub to capture data from medical devices and sensors within a patient’s home, and transmit it to Cerner healthcare clients through Cerner’s CareAware device connectivity platform. Through this initiative, care providers can remotely monitor chronically ill patients in near-real time to enable proactive engagement to potentially reduce the risk of an acute care episode.
