mHealthSummit2012: AT&T Unveils RPM Software-as-a-Service, Enhanced by AT&T Foundry�

The House Call Reinvented: Video Creates Personal Doctor-Patient Connection Via Cloud-Based Remote Patient Monitoring Service

Today's patient-centered model puts the responsibility on healthcare providers to understand more about their patients outside of the hospital. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) technology is reinventing the age-old notion of the house call. Now, that house call can happen over video on a wirelessly connected tablet.

AT&T* plans to deliver a new cloud-based RPM Software-as-a Service (SaaS) from Ericsson that utilizes its service enablement platform and Intuitive Health software to facilitate better management of chronic diseases and help reduce hospital readmissions. The interactive service's video component will provide helpful coaching, reminders and health education. AT&T has been piloting the RPM SaaS solution with large health systems, academic medical centers and home care providers. It is expected to be available in 2013.

The AT&T RPM SaaS will join the AT&T ForHealth(SM) suite of RPM services that includes an end-to-end managed RPM service powered by Valued Relationships Inc. The end-to-end service allows a nurse-staffed telemonitoring center to monitor patients around the clock, following standard of care guidelines established by physicians and healthcare providers and using an open architecture that supports Bluetooth-enabled devices.

How AT&T RPM SaaS Works:

Patients will be able to check vitals daily using Bluetooth-enabled devices and easily make the data available to their providers, helping to improve quality of care and potentially saving time, money and healthcare resources.

• Data is automatically collected from wirelessly connected personal health devices such as blood pressure cuffs, weight scales and pulse oximeters, and sent over the AT&T network to the cloud-based system from Ericsson.
• Healthcare providers can access the information through a highly-secure portal, designed to comply with HIPAA's Security Rule requirements.
• Since the data is collected electronically, it can be shared among multiple caregivers and physicians through a highly-secure infrastructure, eliminating information gaps and duplication in reporting and helping to provide a more well-rounded view of the patient.
• The Intuitive Health application helps providers to implement and manage care plans and integrate the resulting data with clinician workflows.

"Live, on-demand, two-way video enables a personal connection for the patient and doctor, extending the relationship beyond the hospital walls," said Geeta Nayyar, M.D., Chief Medical Information Officer, AT&T ForHealth, AT&T Business Solutions. "Video makes it possible for a physician to see clinical signs and indicators such as skin color, mood, affect and determine whether a patient is utilizing devices and medications appropriately."

The Evolution of RPM:

The approach evolved from AT&T and Intuitive Health's work with Texas Health Resources using RPM technology to support a research study that will be completed in December 2013. The AT&T Foundry� worked with AT&T ForHealth, Ericsson and Intuitive Health to enhance the solution by integrating real-time high definition video, allowing customers to access their applications and services from nearly anywhere and almost any device. This AT&T Foundry� work has implications across a number of Health IT solutions where presence and video can help increase engagement and efficacy.

AT&T's RPM solutions will be demonstrated at booth #801 at the mHealth Summit in the Washington DC area from Dec. 3-5, 2012.

USA: AT&T to support Apple�s Facetime without extra charges.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jes�s.

USA: AT&T to support Apple�s Facetime  without extra charges.

AT&T announced plans to support Apple�s Facetime video calling service over its mobile network without extra charges for more of its subscribers, after criticism about the additional fees it was levying on users.

However, the latest change only applies to high-end customers � users with an LTE-capable iPhone or iPad and tiered data plan.

Earlier this year, it was reported that the operator was facing complaints from US consumer groups, who had argued that charging more for specific over-the-top services goes against the principles of net neutrality.

AT&T argued that the rules did not apply to apps which are preloaded on handsets, noting that similar, alternative products are available for download.

In a blog post yesterday, Jim Cicconi, senior EVP of External and Legislative Affairs for the company, said that due to the number of iPhones it has on its network, �when Apple rolls out new services or changes, as it did in iOS 6, it can have a much greater, and more immediate, impact on AT&T�s network than is the case with carriers who have far fewer iPhone users�.

The operator is already supporting Facetime over Cellular for customers with its high-end Media Share plans, while any customer can use the service over Wi-Fi.

Cicconi said that �we will continue to gather and assess the network data on this issue over the next few months and anticipate that we will be able to expand the availability of FaceTime to our customers on other billing plans in the near future�.

Heading-off another criticism, AT&T said that it will also support the service for deaf and hard of hearing customers who qualify for special text and data-only packages.

Facetime has been available for some time, but Apple only added support for the service over mobile networks with its recent iOS6 release.

USA: Samsung to launch the Galaxy Note II in 5 major carriers.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jes�s.

USA: Samsung to launch the Galaxy Note II in 5 major carriers.

The Galaxy Note II will be available through AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular by mid-November.  The device is Optimized for the fastest 4G LTE* and HSPA+ 42 networks.

Pre-order is available at:

Coming soon to:

Power and Performance

Galaxy Note II marks the U.S. debut of Samsung�s Exynos� 1.6 GHz quad-core processor optimized for LTE networks. It has 2GB of internal RAM; and comes with 16GB of onboard file storage and supports up to 64GB of additional memory with a microSD� card. Collectively, these deliver easy multitasking, lightning-fast screen transitions, powerful browser performance and minimal app load time.

The Galaxy Note II is the first Samsung smartphone to launch with Android� 4.1, Jelly Bean, which brings stunning graphical capabilities and an upgraded Google Now service, including new features such as contextual search. It is also a SAFE-designated device, which means it has additional security features to safe-guard sensitive data and communications.

The Galaxy Note II has a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED� touchscreen with 16:9 aspect ratio, the standard for true HD video viewing, and comes with a 3,100 mAh battery, which is 24 percent larger than the original Galaxy Note.

Despite the much larger battery, the device weighs slightly less than the original Galaxy Note. As a result of a narrower bezel on all four sides of the screen, the screen is larger but the overall device is narrower. The Galaxy Note II is available in Marble White and Titanium Gray color options.

Create and Collaborate

At the heart of the Galaxy Note II and the ability to create and collaborate is the S Pen�, which has been ergonomically redesigned to provide a more precise and natural writing and drawing experience. The new S Pen can sense 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, four times more than the original S Pen.

When the new S Pen is removed from the Galaxy Note II, it automatically launches the S Pen menu, which opens a new home screen that allows one-touch access to most-used S Pen applications. Keeping track of the S Pen is simple now too because a visual and audible alarm appears if you forget to put the S Pen back inside the device.

The S Pen�s advanced features provide the ability to capture ideas, inspiration and information instantly, and to combine handwriting with any digital content directly on the screen, such as adding new calendar appointments by writing the event details directly on the day of the week, signing or adding handwritten notes to an email.

Selecting and cropping text, images or other content on the Galaxy Note II with the S Pen is very similar to a traditional "click-mouse" experience. When the S Pen�s side button is pressed down, the S Pen recognizes that you want to clip or edit the selected content on the screen. You can draw precise lines around the content to be cropped out, highlighted or copied into another application.

Key applications of the S Pen include:

• Easy Clip feature allows you to instantly outline and crop any content on the screen in any shape to save, share or paste. Once done cropping the image, you can freely edit the cropped content through coloring, shading or their own personal handwriting.
• Air View allows you to hover with the S Pen over an email, calendar entry, image gallery or video to preview the content without having to open it or wait for screen transitions. This feature also enables you to preview Web site content without opening the full site. Air View provides a title description for unrecognizable icons in various applications.
• Quick Command, the S Pen quickly activates applications and services people use most often. The command pad appears with one upward swipe on the screen with the S Pen button pressed down. You can send an email, make a call or search a location with pre-registered and customized S Pen strokes marks made on the command pad.
• Idea Sketch allows you to easily add illustrations by handwriting keywords on the S Note. It provides illustration images that match the handwritten keywords. It�s a fancy illustration match function that will allow you to express, organize and visualize ideas in a more innovative and creative way. You can even customize and add in their own illustrations library.
• Photo Notes launches a new browser window when you click on a link embedded in an email.

Multitask and Share

The Galaxy Note II takes multitasking to the next level by enabling consumers to launch multiple windows on one screen, including high definition video. Multitasking features include:

• Popup Note lets you open an S Note instantly as a pop-up window to jot down a quick note during a phone call, checking email or watching a video.
• Popup Video extends the concept of �Popup Play.� While watching a video, with the touch of a button, the video will become a floating window on the display. The video will continue to play and it can be re-sized or repositioned to any part of the Galaxy Note II�s screen. This versatility means that you are free to load other applications beneath it to browse online or work in other apps such as email, calendar or text messaging.
• Popup Browser launches a new browser window when you click on a link embedded in an email.

The Galaxy Note II contains many of the popular, real-life content sharing features introduced in June on the Samsung Galaxy S III including:

• S Beam: Tap back of Galaxy Note II against another S-Beam-enabled device to share large video files, documents or S Notes in seconds without using data service.
• Share Shot: Seamlessly share pictures taken with Galaxy Note II�s 8 megapixel camera to other phones from up to 200 feet away.
• Burst Shot/Best Shot: Capture rapid-fire still pictures with zero shutter lag; choose picture with optimal colors, lighting and clarity from Best Shot image recommendations.
• AllShare Cast� and GroupCast�: Both have been expanded on the Galaxy Note II. Share premium video content, mobile games and movies and TV shows from Samsung Media Hub wirelessly with Samsung Smart TVs, laptops, tablets and other consumer electronics.

Customize and Accessorize

• Protective Flip Cover: Samsung�s unique flip cover enhances the look of the Galaxy Note II with a premium leather front and glossy backing, while providing privacy and protection. The Protective Flip Cover comes in seven vibrant colors to customize the Galaxy Note II, including Titanium Gray, Marble White, Blue, Pink, Mint, Lime Green and Orange.
• S Pen with Eraser: This ergonomic, full-featured S Pen features a button for gestures and an eraser tip for easy corrections. This updated version of Samsung�s original S Pen truly mimics the feel of a pen or pencil.

*4G LTE when used in relation to the Galaxy Note II refers to the fact that the device can operate on the relevant carrier�s LTE network.

AT&T mulling Apple`s FaceTime charges, preparing for next version of iOS.

Dow Jones Newswires said that AT&T might be set to introduce charges for using Apple’s FaceTime IP calling application over its mobile network, following the addition of support for this in the next version of Apple’s iOS device platform.

 The report notes that developers working with an early build of iOS6 attempting to use this feature were met with a notification which “strongly resembles” one delivered previously when using tethering, before the operator began charging extra for this service. Until now FaceTime has only been available via WiFi networks.

USA: Nokia 808 PureView with 41 Mpxls camera coming.

Nokia is responding to consumer interest and is working together with Amazon.com to launch the Nokia 808 PureView smartphone in the United States. 

The revolutionary smartphone will be available unlocked and unsubsidized through Amazon.com. U.S. consumers will be able to purchase the Nokia 808 PureView for $699 and use it with a compatible SIM card from AT&T. It will also work with T-Mobile – but only at 2G speeds.

The Nokia 808 PureView features a 41-megapixel sensor with our highest performance Carl Zeiss optics to date and Nokia’s brand-new pixel oversampling technology.

PureView technology means that taking typically sized shots, the camera can use oversampling to combine up to seven pixels into one “pure” pixel, eliminating the visual noise found on other mobile phone cameras. See how the phone stacked up against competitors across the industry in a recent blind test by GSMarena readers.

On top of that, you can zoom in up to 3X without losing any of the details in your shot and there are no artificially created pixels in your picture, either.

The Nokia 808 PureView also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X lossless zoom and the world’s first use of Nokia Rich Recording, which enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality, previously only possible with external microphones

This revolutionary technology has been the culmination of years of hard work by our imaging team, and the Nokia 808 PureView has been met with overwhelming interest from consumers all over the world. Working with Amazon.com, we’re making sure that the interest we’ve seen in the United States is being met. Elements of Nokia’s PureView technology will be integrated into future Windows Phone devices.
