Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Emergin for its Remarkable Innovations in Patient Monitoring Information Technologies

June 14, 2006

Palo Alto, Calif. — Frost & Sullivan recently named Emergin, Inc. as the recipient of the 2006 Global Excellence Award in the patient monitoring information technologies market for strategically developing middleware connectivity and interoperability solutions that enable effective patient monitoring.

Clearly recognizing the need for interoperability in the healthcare industry, Emergin has created a technology that interfaces with various devices and information systems, thereby providing significant value to healthcare providers.

With healthcare providers investing more in IT infrastructure and clinical applications, there is a vital need for integrating these systems as this will lead to quicker returns on investments.

Emergin’s solutions are designed to meet the demands of healthcare providers for unprecedented communications. The technology enables efficient integration of patient monitoring networks that carry real-time critical information.

“The company strategically positions itself neutrally by marketing its software as an enabling technology rather than a clinical solution, eliminating competition with its numerous partners,” stated Frost & Sullivan research manager Antonio Garcia. “Developed as a plug and play solution, the product offers flexibility through modularity and scalability that are required to meet ever-changing customer needs.”

An essential component of Emergin’s technology is its documentation services. In order to ensure system reliability, the solutions document the receipt, transmission, and acknowledgement of alerts. This enables hospitals to safely customize secondary alarming solutions by reviewing documentation and altering protocols as well as procedures.

“The greatest value provided by the company is its ability to facilitate future innovation in healthcare solutions,” said Garcia. “Emergin’s technology simplifies the product development process and allows for a faster time to market.”

The Frost & Sullivan Global Excellence of the Year Award is bestowed each year upon the company that has demonstrated global excellence in a given business function such as sales, marketing, customer service, technology innovation, product quality, supply chain management, and growth strategy. The Award recipient has distinguished itself through its proactive global integration strategies that can position the company to emerge as a global leader.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
