Biosign and Peconic Bay Medical Center Sign Agreement to Implement Healthanywhere Remote Patient Management Program

TORONTO, March 16 /PRNewswire/ - Biosign Technologies Inc. (TSXV:BIO), a medical device company, and Peconic Bay Medical Center of Riverhead, New York, announced an agreement today to implement Biosign's Healthanywhere solution for remote patient management.

Peconic Bay Medical Center Home Health Services ("Peconic") will undertake an assessment of the application and processes of remote patient monitoring of both acute post-discharge and long-term cases. The initial focus will be on a "Health at Home" program for remote monitoring of patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease to support Peconic's commitment to maximizing the health, comfort, mobility, and independence of each and every patient through direct skilled care and education. Initially, Peconic will deploy short-term remote monitoring that will serve acute post-discharge patients. The long-term goal is to service the needs of chronic patients, including the need for self-management.

Under this agreement, Peconic will use Biosign's Healthanywhere to provide a sustainable "Health at Home" solution for short-term remote monitoring of post-discharge patients with a baseline of vital signs for participating patients. Biosign's Healthanywhere will also be utilized for trending the health impact of remote monitoring, education, and behavioral changes affected by the program.

"The Peconic Bay Medical Center is an award-winning facility, with a reputation for using advanced medical technologies to increase the quality of care. We look forward to a successful implementation of our Healthanywhere solution in this center of clinical excellence", stated Biosign's CEO, Peter Tassiopoulos.
