Telehomecare project for First Nations Communities in Canada to focus on wireless handheld technology

Ron Parker, President of AdActus stated: "The handheld component of this solution gives users the ability to capture timely, high quality data in the course of providing care in the client's home, eliminating the time, effort, and risk of error in documenting visits after the fact."

Mr. Parker went on to say: "This value extends to administrators as they can rely on this data for management of provider staff and resources, improving utilisation while achieving better outcomes for their clients. Our capability to integrate this information with Regional or Provincial repositories represents a true breakthrough in the administration and provision of health care services in the community."

Each of the partner vendors brings proven technology to the project. Warren Brown, President of Procura stated: "We see this as a tremendous opportunity to prove our ability to provide an integrated cost-effective solution for a critical need within the First Nations Communities. Moreover, it positions us to increase our lead in community care, a sector of health care that is growing significantly."

Collaborative Network Technologies Inc. (ColabNet) of St. John's, Newfoundland, is AdActus' partner in the development of the Outreach application. ColabNet is active in the development of wireless applications for the health care, education, and business sectors.
