Just weeks after its solution was put into service at the Jewish
Rehabilitation Hospital of Laval in Quebec, Extenway Solutions Inc.
(TSX VENTURE: EY) is delighted to announce that its terminals will
now be used by patients at an outpatient chemotherapy center of
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Brooklyn, New York. This
announcement marks the first time Extenway's technology solution
has been deployed on American soil.
Improving the quality of life for hospital patients
Extenway's bedside terminals allow patients to benefit from a
means of communication with staff and family (via video conference
and assistance request service), a digital entertainment platform
(TV, games, MP3 player, radio, and audio books), educational tools
(patient teaching capsules), and a desktop work environment
(Internet, email, Microsoft Office, etc.).
"Our solution allows patients to have a more positive experience
during their cancer treatment", said John McAllister, President and
CEO of Extenway, a company based in Baie d'Urfe in the Montreal
region. "Patients sometimes have to spend weeks at a time in
hospital, and feedback confirms that our technology improves their
quality of life during this period."
Patients can consult the different contents by using the
terminal's tactile screen or a wireless keyboard. For Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, it was very important to provide a
positive and not "hospital-like" environment for patients. Extenway
typical wall installation was adapted for direct mounting of the
terminal onto the chairs used for chemotherapy treatment, thus
creating a better patient experience.
Improving the efficiency of hospital services
The Extenway solution also helps optimize communication between
the patient, clinicians and hospital staff.
Patients can also consult online menu and send their orders
online. They can even adjust the light and temperature in their
room - without having to move. Patients are therefore more
autonomous, allowing staff extra time to concentrate on their
medical needs.
Extenway will hold its next general meeting for shareholders on
October 21 at 11am in the Musset room of Le Centre Sheraton
Montreal, located at 1201 boulevard Rene-Levesque West.
