Predictive Inc., which is engaged in the research, design,
development and marketing of predictive health monitoring technologies,
reports it has just added a new convenient way for individuals to enter
readings from anywhere in the world - cell phones. The new cell phone
interface will allow visitors to Beijing, during the 2008 Olympics, to be
monitored daily by their U.S. physicians to detect the likelihood of
developing infections, especially respiratory infections, while their
patients are attending the Beijing games. Any full-browser cell phone,
including the iPhone, can be used to enter readings and obtain an
immediate algorithmic analysis, predicting the onset of 1) infections, 2)
respiratory conditions and 3) respiratory infections up to two days
before clinical symptoms are experienced, permitting early medical
intervention. For more information, see www.predictiveinc.com.
