This week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a four-year grant for nearly $500,000 to Cybernet Medical, a provider of biometric monitoring technology and medical devices for outpatient care.
The grant will be used to continue a rural telemedicine project
between Cybernet and Integris Health’s rural telemedicine
project for chronic disease patients in rural Oklahoma. The
project’s pilot program began in October 2002 for 11 patients.
Beginning in December, the grant will assist 200 patients in six
Integris hospitals suffering from heart failure, diabetes, stroke,
and congestive obstructive pulmonary diseases.
