REKA Health is a tele-health solutions provider that develops and markets an interactive health technology platform incorporating medical devices, application software, mobile apps, Cloud-based web applications and Personal Health Record (PHR). Founded in 2011, REKA Health is a spin-off from REKA and an ISO 13485-certified company with an established worldwide business network for the distribution of its solutions.
Strongly focussed on R&D, the company set out to find new areas of scientific innovation in technology and deliver IT-based solutions for improving healthcare.

Supporting chronic disease patients
The basic point of departure is a healthcare support model whereby chronic disease patients receive continuous care regardless of their whereabouts. REKA Health provides a platform for healthcare providers to interact with their chronic disease patients.
Patients are therefore able to provide their physician with more health information outside of the hospital. In turn, the physician can provide the diagnosed results to the patient via text message or email. This two-way communication allows patient and physician to interact via the REKA Health platform. The cycle of continuous, optimised care will lead to a better quality of life, timely treatment and peace of mind for chronic disease patients.
In practice, these patients are continuously monitored and provided with recommendations and advice to adjust their lifestyle, which, in turn, produce better care outcomes. This allows healthcare providers to expand their healthcare service spectrum to out-of-hospital and home care.

Mobile ECG & rhythm monitor
The increase of cell phone use to over 4 billion users worldwide, improved international mobile communications standards, dramatic advances in sensor technology and pervasive connectivity has enabled a new generation of superior mobile health products for use in the clinical arena. Exemplary of such advances is the REKA Health ECG event recorder device (E100).

E100 cardiac monitor
The E100 is a medical grade ECG Recorder and Heart Rhythm Monitor designed to address homecare and self-care needs. With the focus on user friendliness, the E100 is designed to capture a single-lead ECG and offers highly repeatable signal acquisition through simple and clearly indicated thumb placement.
‘A simple to use rhythm monitor with thumb electrodes enables patients of all ages and backgrounds to remotely transmit ECG data with clinical feasibility and rapidity that is heretofore unseen’ says Samir Damani, MD, PharmD about the E100

The promise of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) could only be disputed by today

The rapidly developing field of interventional oncology is testimony to many new technological developments t in the fight against cancer. Multiple new, minimally invasive technologies have emerged over the last few years, offering patients new therapeutic options especially when conventional therapy fails or is deemed unsuitable. In addition, many new technologies have been developed for imaging cancer, especially functional imaging which offers patients the chance to verify early tumour response and early recurrence

Emerging role of the radiologist
Radiologists are often thought to play a passive role when it comes to patient care. The radiologist evaluates the radiographic imaging or performs an interventional procedure in accordance with the clinician
