History
[edit]Founded in 1975, Biomedical Systems offered centralized cardiac safety, medical imaging and respiratory services in drug development and also collected, analyzed and distributed electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO)[1] in multiple modalities across all phases of clinical research.[2]
In 2010 Biomedical Systems introduced their own Wireless Ambulatory ECG Monitoring System called the TruVue™ Wireless Telemetry Device as part of their Cardiac Patient Services Business. TruVue would record and remotely transmit heartbeats for up to 30 days; and was intended for the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation and other cardiac arrhythmia.[3][third-party source needed] Biomedical Systems later sold TruVue to Malvern, Pennsylvania-based BioTelemetry, Inc. for $8.65 million.[4]
Later in 2012 Biomedical Systems added ePRO services through their acquisition of Belgium-based Symfo.[5]
On September 8, 2017, ERT announced its acquisition of Biomedical Systems.[6]
