Neckargemünd / Düsseldorf, November 15 , 2011 – MedVec International is presenting the non-invasive UFIT technology for the permanent diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases for the first time at this year’s MEDICA in Düsseldorf. In the second step, a non-invasive determination of glucose values is made possible.
MedVec International GmbH, European sales partner of the listed American BioSign Technologies Inc., is presenting the non-invasive cloud technology UFIT for the monitoring, analysis and evaluation of cardiovascular diseases to the European specialist audience at Medica 2011 for the first time. Even the basic version UFIT-10-10 opens up completely new and more efficient ways to combat the rapidly increasing number of cardiovascular diseases (HVAC diseases) worldwide. The device not only enables early detection of arrhythmias, abnormal blood pressure and malfunctions.

At the same time, we are helping to effectively reduce steadily rising healthcare costs ” , explained in the run-up to the trade fair Dr. Scott Jenkins, BioSign CEO and former board member” Healthcare and Life “at Dell. ” Thanks to partnerships such as MedVec, we can work closely with local partners Decision-makers, health insurance companies and all those interested in the health sector work together. This also gives us the opportunity to offer individual solutions that also meet local needs.
The second version UFIT-10-20, which will also be shown at Medica 2011 as a demo version, documents innovative performance. In the future, it will enable the determination of glucose values - also non-invasively and therefore without taking blood by pricking your finger, using another device or test strips. BioSign is already working on displaying all values via app on mobile devices such as iPhone or iPad in the future.
Avoid costly interventions
In addition to other applications, the UFIT Health Monitor warns of cardiovascular disorders at an early stage and thus reduces costly interventions. The overall health progression and prognosis are also improved. “We are very pleased to be able to offer this new technology to our partners, the cost units and the entire German health market with all relevant organizations and companies”, says Knut Butzinger, founder and managing director of MedVec International.
