AcuNetx holds a patent to a technology that permits health providers to remotely access data collected by a new generation of chips. Embedded in artificial organs--heart monitors, insulin pumps, prosthetic devices--the chips gather and transmit vital information related to the performance of the organ in real-time. The availability of such information is expected to have a dramatic impact on patient care, reducing risk and improving outcomes. 

Elderly patients , in particular, will benefit from this new communications link which will ensure that health providers have access to data that is timely and accurate.
