Zargis Signs Agreement to Provide Ontario Telemedicine Network With Remote Stethoscope Solution
Wide-scale Implementation Within OTN's Network of 1,100+ Clinical Sites Anticipated
Sep 10, 2010 7:30:00 AM
STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Zargis Medical Corp., a majority-owned subsidiary of Speedus Corp. (OTCQB: SPDE), today announced that it has signed an agreement with the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) providing for the delivery and testing of Zargis' award-winning telemedicine stethoscope system.
OTN is one of the world's largest and most respected telemedicine networks. An independent, not-for-profit organization funded by the Government of Ontario, Canada, OTN provides access to care for patients in every hospital in Ontario and hundreds of other healthcare locations across the province. In 2010 OTN will conduct more than 100,000 patient visits over more than 2,000 telemedicine systems.
The core component of Zargis' telemedicine stethoscope system, Zargis TeleSteth™, is a component of the Zargis Cardioscan heart sounds analysis software and the Zargis StethAssist® heart and lung sounds visualization software. TeleSteth was developed to extend the practice of auscultation (listening with a stethoscope) to situations and environments where face-to-face encounters are not always convenient or feasible. This platform allows healthcare professionals to share heart, lung and airway sounds with colleagues located across the globe using the Internet or a private network. TeleSteth permits patient sounds to be remotely evaluated in real-time (synchronous) or store-and-forward (asynchronous) mode.
TeleSteth is designed to be accessed from a user's PC via a standard Internet browser. Additionally, for organizations requiring users to access stethoscope sounds from within their private network, TeleSteth can be deployed using Zargis' secure enterprise server platform. All components of Zargis' telemedicine stethoscope system are HIPAA-compliant.
"OTN is one of the world's most sophisticated telemedicine networks and we are pleased to have been selected as the vendor of tele-auscultation solutions for their vast network of healthcare professionals throughout Canada's most populous province," stated Zargis CEO John Kallassy. "Zargis' tele-auscultation platform will help OTN deliver cost-effective, expert healthcare."
"OTN depends on reliable and easy-to-use equipment. Zargis' expertise in the field and the quality of their product met our need for a superior telemedicine stethoscope solution," said Dr. Ed Brown, OTN's CEO.

We identified the clinical need.
The human heartbeat. A symphony of sound that challenges us to hear, interpret and decide a course of action. The limits of our own subjective human perception and experience can inhibit us from hearing all the relevant clinical information each heartbeat may possess.
We developed the science.
Innovation is an amazing thing. By integrating advanced biomedical signal processing software with the Bluetooth®-enabled 3M™ Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200, we now have the ability to explore the symphony of sounds behind every heartbeat.
And we turned that science into sound clinical tools.
Our decision-support tools are designed to enhance your clinical practice. As a company, our primary goal is to provide tools that enhance your clinical decision-making without disrupting your existing workflow.

Zargis Cardioscan(TM) Featured on The Early Show on CBS
Nov 24, 2009 3:05:00 PM
STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Zargis Medical Corp., a subsidiary of Speedus Corp. (Nasdaq: SPDE) and a spin-off from Siemens Corporate Research (NYSE: SI), today announced that its Zargis Cardioscan device was featured on the November 24, 2009 episode of CBS' The Early Show during a segment in which Mark Jannot, the editor of Popular Science magazine, reviewed five winning products from the publication's 2009 "Best of What's New" awards.
The Early Show is a widely-viewed television morning news talk show broadcast by CBS from New York City Monday through Saturday. A video clip of the "Best of What's New" awards segment can be viewed via the following link: http://tinyurl.com/Zargis-on-CBS.
As previously announced, 3M(TM) Health Care and Zargis Medical were jointly awarded "Innovation of the Year" by Popular Science for Zargis Cardioscan and the compatible 3M(TM) Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200. During the segment on The Early Show, Mark Jannot described Cardioscan and the Model 3200 stethoscope as follows: "[It's] the same thing that you see around your doctor's neck every time you go to the doctor's office, but it's our Innovation of the Year because it's a really revolutionary diagnostic device. It sends your heart sounds by Bluetooth® to a nearby computer where software will analyze it to detect hard-to-find heart murmurs."
According to Peter Hodge, Zargis' marketing director, "We are very encouraged by the level of interest Zargis Cardioscan is receiving in the both the healthcare arena and the mainstream media, especially as we prepare for the international roll-out of the device."

Zargis Cleared as Apple iPhone Developer; Medical Applications for Smartphones Planned
Oct 21, 2009 11:17:00 AM
STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Zargis Medical Corp., a subsidiary of Speedus Corp. (Nasdaq: SPDE) and a spin-off from Siemens Corporate Research (NYSE: SI), today announced that is has been cleared as an Apple(®) iPhone(®) developer and has begun development of medical diagnostic support software and related peripherals for the iPhone and other leading smartphones.
Zargis has identified the handheld environment as a logical delivery platform for its telemedicine and diagnostic software initiatives, and with its team of experienced developer's plans to leverage the smartphone platform as a mobile hub between medical device peripherals and computer-aided diagnostic support located either locally or remotely.
A recent report released by Manhattan Research stated that 64% of doctors, more than double the number eight years ago, own smartphones, and that this figure will increase to 81% penetration in 2012. However, despite the rapid adoption of the iPhone and other smartphones by physicians, currently available healthcare applications for these devices are generally limited to medical reference libraries, educational tools and applications designed to manage patient medical records.
"The future of healthcare delivery is about connectivity and mobility. Zargis' expertise in computer-aided auscultation and our advanced medical software platform positions us perfectly to create diagnostic software and peripherals that are a natural fit for smartphones. We intend to improve healthcare efficiency by helping clinicians bring medical technology to the patient, rather than the other way around," stated Zargis CEO John Kallassy.

Zargis Cardioscan(TM) Unveiled Through Global Marketing and Distribution Alliance With 3M Company
Aug 25, 2009 8:00:00 AM
STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zargis Medical Corp., a spin-off from Siemens Corporate Research (NYSE: SI) and a majority-owned subsidiary of Speedus Corp. (Nasdaq: SPDE), today announced that it has begun selling its Zargis Cardioscan(TM) heart sound analysis software, along with 3M's (NYSE: MMM) just-released Bluetooth(R)-enabled 3M(TM) Littmann(R) Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200, as part of its previously announced exclusive multi-year global marketing alliance with 3M. This marketing alliance provides Zargis with a wide-range of global marketing and promotional opportunities along with exclusive rights to sell its products through the world-wide distribution network of the 3M(TM) Littmann(R) brand.

"The ability to record and automatically analyze heart sounds can help improve a clinician's confidence, document complex auscultations, and may keep some patients from going through additional, unnecessary testing," stated Joseph Tartaglia, MD, a practicing cardiologist in White Plains, NY, and clinical assistant professor of medicine at New York Medical College in Valhalla, NY.
Cardioscan heart sound analysis software is designed to support physicians in analyzing and interpreting cardiac sounds which can be signs of heart disease. Cardioscan connects wirelessly to the Bluetooth(R)-enabled 3M(TM) Littmann(R) Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200, and integrates with the ZargisTelemed portal -- a HIPAA-compliant feature of Cardioscan allowing users to easily share heart sounds recordings, analyzed results and comments with colleagues via the Internet.
"At a time when our nation is focused on leveraging technology to improve healthcare efficiency, these devices represents breakthroughs in auscultation that have the potential to reduce unnecessary referrals, and help clinicians detect pathologic heart murmurs earlier in the treatment cycle," stated John Kallassy, CEO of Zargis Medical. "We believe that the use of our software could enhance the physician experience during every patient exam where a stethoscope is used."
Zargis and select distributors of 3M(TM) Littmann(R) Brand Products will be selling Cardioscan for $395 (retail price) per licensed user -- a price point intended to make the device affordable to a variety of healthcare professionals around the world. In addition, access to the ZargisTelemed portal will be priced at $10 per month per licensed user.

The claims are some very bold statements by this company..
a place to get some industry back ground..
http://www.storagesearch.com/ssd-ram.html
"When flash SSDs aren't fast enough!
RAM based SSDs are the original type of solid state disk and have been around for decades.
They rely on batteries to retain data when power is lost. Most models also include internal hard disk drives to which data is saved under battery power, so that data is not lost when the battery runs down. This hybrid technology means that RAM based SSDs are more bulky than flash counterparts and RAM SSDs are unable to operate in the same range of hostile environments.
RAM based SSDs are mostly used in enterprise server speedup applications. The fastest RAM SSDs are faster than the fastest flash SSDs. But for many server speedup applications F-SSDs are fast enough.
Unlike flash SSDs, RAM based SSDs never had restrictions on the number of write cycles. That made them more popular in enterprise acceleration applications in the past. But write endurance problems may be a thing of the past for flash.
Like hard disks - RAM SSDs have symmetric read/write IOPS. That's another big difference between RAM and flash SSDs.
The fastest flash SSDs available in 2007 had narrowed the gap between R/W IOPS down to 10 to 1 (from over 50 to 1). And in 2008 - a small number flash SSD systems achieved 1 to 1. But random R/W IOPS for RAM SSDs, and latency are still an order of magnitude faster than the best flash SSDs.
There are also some non volatile memory products such as PRAM, FRAM and RRAM which are replacing flash in industrial applications - and which already offer 1 to 1 read/write performance. But their capacity is 2 orders of magnitude too low to be of use in server applications.
RAM SSDs cost about 25x as much as flash SSDs (based on pricing data for 3.5" form factor February 2008.)
The ideal choice of SSD depends on the specific server and application environment and cost / benefit analysis.
For example - a fibre-channel SSD that doubles the performance of a 100 server network may be overkill if your application runs on a single server box which could be speeded up by directly attached SSD storage."
If combining the benifits of Flash, Ram, size, memory retention, energy use and unit cost is where they say it is for their product, ,, one needs to understand how the monetization of the product would happen... Rights selling, licencing, direct sales and production , ect ect. to estimate cap of the company long term. Short term without any JV, partnerships ect., 20-50 mill seems about right imo. If they take a year to advance to mass production, competion will push
towards the lower (20 mill value), if a fast track is coming, the end cap (bold statements assumed true) cap could go over 50 mill easy (the company has not said they would be sharing a vertical plan with others that I know of yet). I believe most are hoping to see SPDE to come out of a boxed in practice of
sharing costs and rewards. Perhaps this spinoff will be the enabler.
Cap ex needs to be explained showing an avenue how expansion into the market will be paid for. Shelf, JV, mother company
could be the answer, with the small stock structure on this spinoff it would seem inappropriate to simply sell outright..
rights. Quite likely, there is a plan, looking for the company to fully explain it.
Like many of the Tech Bubble era this issue has declined from outragous highs, but they have had success before justifying $5 pps on a JV basis with a product having a lesser market in size.
