Cybernet Medical Announces Support for Telehealth Technologies' SC-1 Telehealth Scale.


ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Cybernet Medical, a leading developer of telemedicine technology for outpatient care, today announced the addition of support for Telemedicine Technologies' SC-1 Telehealth Scale to the MedStar[TM] System. Providers using the system can now offer their patients an easy to use scale specifically designed for in-home telemedicine use.

With it's wide footprint, large capacity, sleek design, and low price, the SC-1 Telehealth Scale offers the best of everything in a scale. Telehealth Technologies designed the SC-1 to tolerate almost any home environment, with a 15.5" wide, flat base that provides stability and accurate readings on almost any floor surface. The SC-1 also features 440lb capacity, motion tolerance that provides correct readings even when patients are unable to stand still, and audible cues that allow use of the scale without the need to reach down to the floor.

"The SC-1 makes it effortless for patients to weigh themselves," says Eric Lichtenstein, Director of Cybernet Medical. "The feedback we're getting from providers is that the added ease-of-use significantly enhances the MedStar[TM] System."

This new product is now available to MedStar[TM] System users. Cybernet Medical invites providers interested in deploying the SC-1 to contact them for costs, availability and other details.
