Wave Medical, Intermedical Technologies Join Forces

London, England — June 17, 2009 – Wave Medical announced today the official launch of its new clinical decision support application, Primary Pro Plus Mentor, which represents a new partnership between Wave Medical and EMIS. Designed specifically for general practitioners who use EMIS software; Wave Medical will be debuting the new application at the NHS Healthcare Innovation Expo, June 18 and 19th at the ExCel Center.

EMIS’s Mentor database has been integrated into Wave Medical’s existing clinical decision support tool for general practitioners, Primary Pro. The new application, Primary Pro Plus Mentor, integrates Mentor patient information leaflets (PILs) and drug information leaflets (DILs) directly into Wave Medical’s clinical content. Wave Medical applications are accessible from a PC Browser as well as a wide range of Smartphone devices including iPhone, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile, giving users instant access to the most up to date clinical information from almost anywhere.

"Wave Medical offers clinical decision support tools to healthcare professionals in virtually all environments," says Philip May, Managing Director of Wave Medical. "After collaborating with a leading healthcare company such as EMIS, we are now able to offer an even more specialized clinical decision support tool designed exclusively for healthcare professionals using EMIS systems.

EMIS is the UK’s leading IT supplier in primary healthcare and holds a 56 per cent market share. The partnership between Wave Medical and EMIS has plans ahead, with the next step outlined to provide EMIS nurses with Wave Medical’s clinical decision support tool for nurses, RN Pro, integrated with Mentor PILs and DILs.

“We are pleased to be able to extend EMIS Mentor content to an even wider range of users, through this platform,” said EMIS Commercial Manager, Chris Jones.

Wave Medical invites NHS Innovation Healthcare Expo delegates to stop by the Vodafone Stand (#29) to see a demonstration of Wave Medical applications. Demonstrations will highlight applications for both a PC Browser and Smartphone device.
