Remote CheckUp
The CheckUp Bag is a Swedish innovation, developed by Explizit Ab, and it aims at improved remote monitoring of biosignals. The service consits of portable and wireless biosignal measurement devices which send their results automatically to a database server. The measurement results can be viewed and evaluated immediately on-line through an Internet portal.
CheckUp Care
The CheckUp Care Bag will be piloted in Finland and in Norway. The Finnish pilot will be implemented in the Technology Health Care Centre of Kakkuri, Oulu. Cardiac patients will be given the opportunity to record their ECG and other biosignals at home instead of traveling to the health care centre.
In Norway, four northern municipalities have joined forces and are using the Bag in Lenvik, Torsken, Tranøy and Berg. The Bag will include CRP measurement in addition to other wireless devices. This will reduce traveling of patients as medical information is being moved around instead of people.
CheckUp Life
The CheckUp Life Bag is aimed at health promotion and is being piloted in the Technology Health Care Centre of Kaakkuri, Oulu, Finland. It supports and offers help to people who need to control their weight. Wireless measurements of blood pressure, pulse, fat procentage, weight, PEF, FEV and VO2 max can be done in the health care centre or at home and results and progress can be monitored on-line through personalized www-pages.
