NORWALK, Conn., Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardiocom announced today that TMC, a global, integrated media company helping clients in print, in person and online, has named the Cardiocom Commander® Telehealth System as a recipient of the 2010 TMCnet Smart Health Excellence Award.

Cardiocom's Commander Telehealth System provides an opportunity to proactively manage patient care. The system guides the patient through an interactive "health check" that includes the monitoring of symptoms, care plan compliance, and vital signs such as weight, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and heart rate. This information is immediately transmitted over a standard phone line or a cellular signal to the patient's nurse for review.

Cardiocom's Commander simplifies home monitoring for patients with complex medical conditions such as: heart failure, hypertension, COPD, asthma, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease. "Cardiocom is pleased to accept this prestigious award," said Cardiocom CEO and President, Daniel L. Cosentino. "Our mission is to provide integrated clinical telehealth services that improve patient care."
