Reno, August 4th, 2011 – Visual Healthcare Corp. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ OTC: VSHC) announces that it will be stepping up the delivery of its home care applications for seniors and the disabled which it announced last year as a major product initiative. The ability to provide reliable monitoring and medical care for seniors in their home is expected to emerge as a major trend in the search for savings in the bloated US healthcare system.
The sudden reversal of spending patterns to follow new US budget cuts is certain to impact Medicare and Medicaid. These come at a time when demographic pressures of an ageing population make it increasingly difficult to continue providing easy access to a wide range of expensive medical facilities as in the past.
‘We are seeing the emergence of a multi-billion dollar market for smart home care applications like ours that can not only monitor heart function, blood pressure, sugar levels, fever and oxygen source at home, but more importantly can also have it transmitted to a smart clinical system that will be reading the signs and providing suitable alerts in real time. These transmission protocols will require no human intervention and will be working through automated routes such as the GSM network,’ says Chairman Gerard Dab. ‘The ability to treat seniors at home will generate some of the serious savings required by policy makers.’
The Company is already providing smart distributive and inferential technologies to healthcare providers. Provider organizations and their suppliers are part of a new generation of caregivers who will increasingly rely on our proprietary enabling platforms, real smart clinical tools and adapted mobile devices to improve ambulatory care and keep patients out of expensive hospital stays.
In order to bring to market the most complete set of solutions, we are working closely with our strategic allies including affiliates VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp., VisualMED Distribution Inc., and International Rational Health Systems Inc.
According to its Chairman, the Company has now increased its sales expectations in the home care market from one to three million dollars for Calendar 2012.
