Cardiac Science Corporation, known for its advanced diagnostic and therapeutic cardiology devices and systems, unveiled this week its latest workstation, the wireless CareCenter MD. Featuring a simple, one-button user interface, the station allows physicians to track data for both ECG and stress tests in one place.

"CareCenter MD delivers superior ease-of-use and efficiency," says Rene Mitchell, Cardiac Science director of marketing, in a news release. "It's the first PC-based diagnostic workstation that supports both resting ECG and stress testing with a wireless data acquisition module."

Perhaps most exciting is the wireless data acquisition, achieved via a Bluetooth connection between patients and workstations so that physicians can test in a wider range of settings. They can also access and analyze patient data from anywhere with a secure Internet connection.
