detection and visibility of irregular heart rhythms. Authorized
caregivers can securely log-on and view patient data from anywhere in
the world and with total privacy protection, to determine effective
treatment approaches.
“The 2012 winners represent successful implementations in home
health, education, emergency response, tracking, and even the prevention
of distracted driving. This is a great illustration as to how M2M
technology and connected devices can be relied upon to not only make our
lives more convenient and efficient, but much safer and responsible,”
says Peggy Smedley, editorial director, Connected World. “Congratulations
to all of the individuals and companies honored.”
