Telecommunications technology firm Qualcomm Inc. on Dec. 5 unveiled a new wireless health care subsidiary called Qualcomm Life, along with the unit's first product, the 2net communications platform and hub that will allow partnering wireless medical devices to send patient data through a home-based cellular plug-in for storage off-site using cloud-based computing technologies. With the patient’s OK, the data can then be viewed and managed by others, including hospitals, clinicians and payers.
About the size of a night light, the 2net wireless medical device hub plugs into an electrical outlet.
