Card Guard is headquartered in Switzerland and listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange. Card Guard operates its wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States and Japan, and its R&D centre in Israel. The main subsidiaries include: LifeWatch, Inc. a leading US-based 24/7/365 cardiac monitoring service provider and Instromedix, a US-based manufacturer of telemedicine and cardiology products. Card Guard’s revenues are derived from sales of its telemedicine systems and telemonitoring services. Card Guard currently employs approximately 460 people worldwide. In 2006, Frost & Sullivan awarded Card Guard with the Remote Patient Monitoring Growth Strategy Leadership of the Year Award. Card Guard’s wireless telehealth system, the PMP4, provides the tools required for screening, monitoring, and management of general consumer health, Disease Management, Wellness and Fitness. The PMP4 wireless telemedicine monitors measure and transmit medical data to handheld devices, which can be uploaded to a dedicated Web-Based Medical Centre that physicians and patients may access by using a browser. The PMP4 suite of portable and wireless based telemedicine devices include: 1 and 12- lead cardiac event recorders, Spirometer, Pulse Oximeter, Weight Scale, Blood Pressure monitors and a blood glucose monitor. Card Guard also manufactures land-line telemedicine products for the telehealth market, including 1 to 12-lead cardiac event recorders, Spirometers, Fetal Maternal Monitors, and telemedicine software packages. With its proprietary ASIC-based technology, Card Guard stays at the forefront of offering telemedicine solutions that are embedded into hand held devices. Card Guard is the first company to offer telemedicine solutions for ECG, Glucose, Body Fat, Heart Rate, and Body Temperature monitoring on cellular phones. Card Guard’s telemedicine products provide a total solution to health care providers seeking to balance quality of care, rising costs of treatment and shrinking budgets. Its portfolio of wireless and land-line telemedicine systems and telemonitoring services provide the tools for efficient monitoring, transmission, acquisition, processing, and storage of a patient’s medical data. The key drivers for Card Guard solutions are an expanding population of those who are concerned about health conditions, such as obesity, on-set diabetes, hypertension and cardiac problems, and those who are in need of medical supervision and monitoring. These populations will be severely impacted by the shortage of healthcare professionals, and decreasing budgets.
