BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ExpressMD™ Solutions, a provider of remote patient monitoring systems and services for patients with chronic illnesses, today announced the successful installation of the Electronic House Call™ solution interfaced to DeVilbiss Healthcare's IntelliPAP® AutoAdjust® Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device for selected patients of a National Home Medical Equipment provider.  Further details regarding the provider are expected to be released in the future.

"Using this innovative solution for patients' chronic illness management can reduce rehospitalizations and the severity of reoccurrences. Our combined solution allows providers to manage more CPAP patients without increasing related staff overhead costs, helps to improve patient condition outcomes as well as reducing the overall cost of patient care," commented Joe Howard, Vice President of Marketing at DeVilbiss Healthcare.

The integration between Electronic House Call (EHC) in-home remote patient monitoring solution and the IntelliPAP device, used to treat obstructive sleep apnea, was designed so healthcare providers can comply with new Medicare PAP requirements regarding CPAP therapy. Electronic House Call allows providers to remotely monitor the use of the IntelliPAP device and intervene rapidly in the event that the patient encounters any issues with their therapy.

"Innovations like our new interface between Electronic House Call and IntelliPAP are substantiated by practical installations in the marketplace, like this one for the treatment of sleep therapy patients. We will continue to develop new market opportunities that support the management of chronic illnesses," concluded Ronald Mills, Managing Director of ExpressMD Solutions.
