The world is facing an ongoing healthcare crisis along with the global
economic slowdown. The timing could not be any worse: mounting costs, a
steady increase regarding the ageing population, dysfunctional reimbursement
policies, limited access, an ever impending physician shortage and concerns
over quality of care are just some of the concerns.

In times like these, the focus should move to promising new technologies,
which hold a lot of potential. Remote patient monitoring technologies are
increasingly being recognized as valuable tools for enhancing quality care in
chronic disease management. They have the potential to deliver new and
unimaginable savings for both patients and providers. Unfortunately though,
consumers remain woefully ignorant of the performance ability of these
technologies, even though they could help them not only improve their health,
but also manage it.

Highlights of the Frost & Sullivan briefing include the discussion of:
current trends, challenges, drivers and restraints, significant market
developments, revenue forecasts and a look on to the road ahead. The briefing
will benefit service providers, equipment vendors, distributors and
physicians by discussing various factors influencing the market and
highlighting the emerging trends.

“The heightened demands of an ageing population and a related increase in
chronic diseases are helping the remote patient monitoring market growth. It
has the potential to change the way patients manage their own condition, so
that they become the managers of their own health,” notes Senior Research
Analyst Janani Narasimhan. “Innovative and advanced technology continues to
play a significant role in the RPM market. New technologies are constantly
changing to support better healthcare services, while steadily improving
patient monitoring capabilities.”

Frost & Sullivan will hold this conference call at 2 p.m. GMT on Tuesday,
31st March 2009, which will provide industry participants an outlook of the
European Remote Patient Monitoring Market. To participate, please email Katja
Feick at katja.feick@frost.com with the following information: your full
name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state, and
country. Upon receipt of the above information, a registration link will be
