Israel-Sweden Bi-National R&D Project: Wireless Wearable Telehealth System

In January 2005, Tadiran LifeCare (later acquired by Aerotel Medical Systems), together with Swedish partners, Karolinska University Hospital and TeliaSonera have started a joint project called "TeleMedIS". The aim of the project was to develop and evaluate a unique telemedicine platform and wireless wrist-wearable monitoring system for the Swedish healthcare system.

This initiative has been partially funded by Vinnova (Swedish side) and MATIMOP (Israeli side), under SIBED (Sweden-Israel Bi-national Testebed Program), which is administered under the umbrella of Eureka. The project duration was 18 months.
