MedApps Receives FDA Approval for Telehealth Solution


Another PADT customer to recently achieve a significant milestone is Scottsdale-based MedApps, Inc. In its June 5th Press Release, the company reports;

“MedApps, Inc. has been granted a 510(k) market clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its expanded, flexible telehealth solution. The MedApps system is designed to link patients, families and healthcare professionals by providing a convenient way to remotely collect, transmit, store and report timely and accurate health information - anywhere. The MedApps system features the HealthPAL, a small portable personal health device, to collect and transmit readings from glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, weight scales and pulse oximeters.”


When MedApps needed to fabricate prototypes and prepare for full-scale production they turned to PADT. Bruce Bowers, VP of Manufacturing at MedApps stated “PADT has helped us with prototyping and small run support of our enclosures. Now we move into the higher volume demand with PADT to enjoy mutual growth. This is getting very exciting for the teams”. PADT is excited about the future of MedApps and we are looking forward to seeing their new technology help reduce healthcare costs and improve compliance.”
