Recognized for providing secure, accurate remote physiological monitoring, Nonin Medical was acknowledged for its leadership as a premier provider of telemedicine monitoring equipment.

The Product Line Strategy award is chosen by Frost and Sullivan’s analyst team, which conducts interviews with suppliers, end-users and industry experts to determine the product that best addresses market needs and dynamics. “As the world of telemedicine continues to evolve, there is a need for monitoring companies to develop new monitoring devices in order to perform that critical first step of any telemedicine system, vital sign or data acquisition,” observed industry analyst Zachary Bujnoch. “Nonin Medical has already established itself as a true thought leader in this monitoring specific side of remote medicine.”

With rising healthcare costs driving care into the home, Nonin’s vision of remote monitoring has focused on how to provide cost-effective, accurate physiological data exchange with no proprietary boundaries.
