Isomark is a Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) funded LLC (March 2011) created to focus on prevention of hospital related infections. Public health plans (Medicare and Medicaid) and private insurance will no longer reimburse a hospital for expenses related to hospital acquired infections.
Isomark is developing a non- invasive breath monitoring technology for a global market. Sensors use technology to indicate isotopic (protons to neutrons with mass number) changes with exhaled carbon dioxide to show the initial presence of infection. This is in real time, within a few hours of the assembly of the biological components needed to produce symptoms of infection.
This immediate detection offers medical providers the opportunity to use treatment to limit the ability of the infection to produce the undesired symptoms in the patients body. This improves the over all quality of the patient's hospital stay and saves the health system money.
The Isomark web site lists March 2014 as a target date to submit to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval. Home Care Path (www.homecarepath.com) encourages viewers to watch this new technology as it moves toward utilization in the health delivery system.
Home Care Path has received a Healthy Community Partnership Grant from St. Clare Health Care Foundation to demonstrate how attention to care transitions can keep families from having to run back and forth to the hospital. This is a free event and everyone is invited to attend. This includes Pizza from 2 Brother's Pizza and Buffet 221 Broadway Wisconsin Dells https://www.facebook.com/2BrothersPizzaBuffet
