The system allows upto six users to measure eleven different body vital signs and then, by USB connection, to see the trends on the specially developed pc application. The whole system is the first totally integrated monitoring product and lets anyone, from the fit and healthy to those on medication to be able to track their well being.

HoMedics invited Quadro to design the system because of their detailed knowledge of the healthcare market. Professor Phil Gray, founder of Quadro said, “previous research we carried out showed that there is a growing market with consumers for this type of integrated product with a pc application presented in an easy to understand format.”

Working in collaboration with associate software company Tebira, Quadro designed the products to have clean lines and a family look with a consistent user interface on both the products and the software.

“With this category of product it is essential to keep things as simple as possible,” said Gray. HoMedics Senior Product Manager, Colin Pickard said “working with Quadro has allowed us to get to market much quicker and we hope to be able to develop further capabilities in this category during the coming months.”
