Telecommunications company Verizon has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its first healthcare product, a remote cloud-based patient monitoring service.
Verizon received the FDA's go-ahead for Converged Health Management, which resides in the company's HIPAA-ready cloud. It provides clinicians with access to patient data from connected biometric devices so they can monitor and manage patients from their home or when they are on the go, according to the company.
The product will be available in late 2013.
