Skaneateles, N.Y. — Welch Allyn Inc. said Tuesday it has joined with a Washington, D.C., based company to bring to market ultrathin, battery-less medical devices and sensors that transmit patient information wirelessly.
The strategic development agreement with Gentag Inc. will make it possible to integrate Gentag's wireless sensors into various medical diagnostic applications, Welch Allyn said.
"This collaborative opportunity will enable Welch Allyn to provide clinicians with smart with battery scuh as Welch Allyn 00185-2 Battery, Welch Allyn AED 10 Battery, Welch Allyn Atlas 622SO Battery, Welch Allyn Atlas 622SP Battery, Welch Allyn Atlas 622NO Battery, Welch Allyn Atlas 622NP Battery, Welch Allyn 5300 Battery, Welch Allyn 300 Battery, Kangaroo Battery, Kangaroo 224 Battery, Kangaroo 324 Battery, Kangaroo K524 Batterymonitoring solutions and improve patient access to cutting edge diagnostics," Welch Allyn President and CEO Stephen Meyer said in a statement accompanying the announcement.
Founded in 2001 by John Peeters, Gentag has developed disposable biosensors that use near field communication — short-range, low-power wireless networks built into the latest smartphones and other devices — to transmit information on a patient to medical providers. Among its products are skin patches, no thicker than ordinary adhesive bandages, that simplify diagnostics, fitness, diabetes monitoring and drug delivery, according to the company's website.
Welch Allyn, a Skaneateles-based maker of medical diagnostic devices, said sending patient medical data wirelessly will create "significant opportunities" to speed up the availability of clinical information in a patient's electronic health record.
Welch Allyn started out in 1915 making ophthalmoscopes invented by its founders — Dr. Francis Welch and William Noah Allyn — and it still makes them. But changes in the health care industry have the company increasingly focused on wireless devices that help health care professionals manage patient care more efficiently and cost effectively.
The medical equipment maker employs more than 2,600 people in 26 countries, including 1,300 in Skaneateles Falls.
