San José, California, April 30, 2009 – Tunstall Healthcare has announced the launch of its RTX3371 telehealth monitor - an interactive telehealth device with in-built GSM/GPRS mobile phone technology that collects vital signs wirelessly from a range of external devices such as weight scales and blood pressure cuffs.

According to Anthony Taroni, Director of Sales at Tunstall: “The availability of GSM/GPRS cellular coverage in the USA and the rapid increase in the number of people replacing regular phone lines with wireless and mobile phones has set new standards for home hubs and the way they provide connectivity in order to ensure effective telehealth delivery”. Anthony Taroni continues: “With the introduction of the RTX3371 GSM/GPRS-enabled telehealth monitor, Tunstall Healthcare has taken an important step forward in meeting today’s and tomorrow’s demand. This truly wireless device offers service users the freedom to place the device anywhere in the home independent of phone plugs, increasing user satisfaction and acceptance.”
