Follow on Google News | Entra Health Systems Makes News Strides in Diabetes ManagementEntra Health Systems chooses North of England for release of MyGlucoHealth: a new Bluetooth generation of Glucometer
“Technologies that are common in all walks of life - mobile phones, Bluetooth, communications, automation - are underutilized in healthcare.” With meters requiring the smallest blood sample on the market (0.3 microliters) The potential to improve so many patients’ quality of life is one reason why EHS is choosing to launch MyGlucoHealth in the UK. With 2.3 million of the 171 million people living with diabetes, the UK offers EHS access to the world’s single largest patient pool. EHS chose Sunderland, in particular, because North England is home to world-class research facilities, centers of excellence and companies in the life science, biotechnology and medical IT sectors. The National Health Service (NHS), the UK’s publicly funded healthcare system, is also located in the region. NHS provides significant partnership opportunities for the company. “The NHS is spending approximately $30k a year on a non-compliant patient versus $800 for a compliant patient. Our technology will lower costs for both the patient and health systems, and improve the quality of life. EHS’s goals and philosophy is synergistic with NHS’.” affirms Rick Storbridge, CEO, Entra Health Systems. Acting as catalyst and liaison, the North England Inward Investment Agency was an essential partner in introducing EHS to the people at NHS, Sean Croson, VP, North England Inward Investment Agency states, “North England’s legacy of innovation and collaborative environment are a great fit for companies like EHS. They represent a company with vision and purpose. We are delighted to have assisted them to improve people’s lives.” “The move to Sunderland made sense,” Adds John Hendel, Chairman Entra Health Systems, “The talent, culture, and resources located in North England will accommodate our company’s growth and ambitious business objectives. North England Inward Investment Agency has been instrumental in the expansion process and they held our hands in dealing with everything from taxes to grants to bank referrals. They also facilitated our partnership with NHS. We could not have done this without them.” EHS will launch MyGlucoHealth in the UK, followed by Europe and North America.
