Frost & Sullivan Recognizes A&D Medical’s Technological Excellence in Blood Pressure Monitoring Solutions


Current Issue


Frost & Sullivan selected A&D Medical / LifeSource as the recipient of the 2007 Excellence in Technology of the Year Award in the North American blood pressure monitoring market.

A&D has developed advanced, innovative blood pressure monitoring solutions such as the AM/PM TimeWiseTM tracking technology and the Pressure Rating IndicatorTM system, which are part of its Premium Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor UA-853AC. The company is also first to market with Blood Pressure Monitor UA-767PBT and the Personal Weight Scale UC-321PBT with Bluetooth® enabled wireless technology to facilitate remote patient management and telemedicine.

The development and integration of these technologies in specific blood pressure monitoring and personal health systems exemplifies the continuous progress being made toward elevating the standards of blood pressure measurement to the level of ‘intelligent’ blood pressure monitoring.

An ISO 13485:2003 certified company, A&D boasts the highest number of clinically validated blood pressure monitors in accordance with the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol. The company is backed with an impressive string of hallmarks in its growth such as obtaining the first patent for oscillometry in home blood pressure monitoring using a single chip and exceeding the accuracy standards set by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation.

“A&D’s blood pressure monitoring technology is advantageous over current state of the art blood pressure monitors in that it facilitates effective patient management by enabling the clinician to monitor the readings taken at different times of the day and prescribe medication according to a pattern of blood pressure values observed at set times of the day,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Bhuvaneashwar Subramanian.

A&D has strategically advanced this innovative health monitoring technology in a number of ways. The company is a founding promoter of the Continua Health Alliance, a consortium of leading healthcare and technological companies that aim to improve health through establishing a system of interoperable personal telehealth solutions that empower people and organizations to better manage health and wellness.

Both pharmacists and consumers are increasingly recognizing the quality of A&D’s products. In fact, for many Canadian pharmacists A&D is the preferred brand for blood pressure monitoring. A&D also received the Frost & Sullivan 2006 Award for Brand Development Strategy Leadership based on its successful branding initiatives.

A&D has distinguished itself by developing advanced, innovative home blood pressure monitoring solutions. For these reasons A&D is recognized with Frost & Sullivan’s Award for Excellence in Technology of the Year.

Each year Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to a company that has pioneered the development and introduction of an innovative technology into the market; a technology that has either impacted or has the potential to impact several market sectors. This Award recognizes a company’s successful technology development that is expected to bring significant contributions to the industry in terms of adoption, change, and competitive posture.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
