To Improve Healthcare in Switzerland

London, England – February 12, 2009 – Wave Medical announced today that Hirslanden, a Swiss private health clinic group, has licensed Wave Medical’s clinical decision support product for emergency doctors, International EM Pro, to provide their patients with the highest quality of care. 

“We are enthusiastic about the integration of Wave Medical into our clinics in (the city of) Bern,” says Dr. Rupp, Head Doctor of Emergency Department, Bern.  “Our doctors now have immediate access to an authoritative reference which supports our goal to continually improve the health and quality of life for our patients.”

International EM Pro is the international collection of information resources that healthcare professionals rely on for decision support at the point of care.  The product includes a drug database with 30,000 international drug names, dosing calculators, disease information and treatment protocols.  Embedded directly into the workflow, International EM Pro drastically decreases the time it takes healthcare professionals to make accurate decisions, thus simultaneously improving efficiencies and quality of care.

Hirslanden plans to integrate Wave Medical into their state-of-the-art clinics with International EM Pro being accessible through PC browsers and Windows Mobile™ smartphone devices.  “Our partnership with Wave Medical is important to us as we continue to be a first mover in adopting new solutions to continue to provide the best care of our patients,” says Rupp.

“Hirslanden appreciates that Wave Medical services are unique in the marketplace,” says Wave Medical Managing Director, Philip May.  “We are proud to deliver our cutting edge technology to Hirslanden clinics and know that International EM Pro is a great addition to their advanced healthcare system.”
