BOSTON -- Inovise Medical (www.audicor.com) announced today they will present at Medtech Insight and Windhover Information's aIn3 East' Investor Conference on October 19, 2006, at The Westin Hotel, Copley Place, Boston, MA.

The company's flagship AUDICOR([R]) product line is the pioneer in Acoustic Cardiography cardiography /car·di·og·ra·phy/ (kahr?de-og´rah-fe) the graphic recording of a physical or functional aspect of the heart, e.g. , a new technology category used to diagnose heart failure, identify dysfunction severity, and evaluate treatment in a variety of clinical settings. Acoustic Cardiography leverages two established parameters: the electrocardiogram electrocardiogram /elec·tro·car·dio·gram/ (-kahr´de-o-gram?) a graphic tracing of the variations in electrical potential caused by the excitation of the heart muscle and detected at the body surface.  (ECG), the most common diagnostic test worldwide; and heart sounds, which have long been recognized as providing clinically actionable information to health care providers. AUDICOR([R]) uses two small patented and proprietary sensors, the first of its kind, to analyze the electro-mechanical heart function from 10 seconds of ECG and acoustic heart sound data. AUDICOR([R])'s patented signal processing simultaneously detects and interprets the incoming cardiac information. Results are immediately displayed on-screen and in a simple, single-page report. AUDICOR([R]) technology can be deployed flexibly, either through a small dedicated device that fits easily into existing clinician workflow and environments, or through integration into OEM devices through our partnership agreements.
