Continuous Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring
The ability to continuously monitor the blood pressure of patients in a noninvasive manner offers benefits to clinicians and patients alike. Clinicians benefit from having an ongoing early warning capability for measuring fluctuations in blood pressure during surgical and obstetric procedures. Patients are afforded greater comfort and safety as well as fewer interruptions.

Enhancing the Detection of Cervical Cancer--Reducing Undetected Abnormalities on Pap Smears
Although the Pap smear test has been one of the most successful screening technologies ever introduced in the management of cancer, the incidence of undetected abnormalities on test slides continues to be unduly large. The underlying factors are various, and include problems of sampling, detection and identification. Government regulation of cytopathology laboratory practices have been only partially successful. New technologies to reduce these problems are now becoming available, but are meeting considerable resistance, largely for economic reasons. Communicore is engaged in a broad-based program to tackle this important women's health issue.

Hypoxemia Monitoring (Pulse Oximetry) in the Labor and Delivery Ward
Undetected hypoxemia--inadequate oxygenation of the blood--during labor and delivery is a hidden problem that has only recently been recognized. New clinical monitoring, particularly pulse oximetry, is not only helping identify hypoxemia when it occurs in the labor and delivery suite, but can assist in improving clinical outcomes.

Umbilical Cord Blood Collection for Diagnostic Applications
The umbilical cord is an important source of blood sampling for use in numerous diagnostic, therapeutic, and screening applications, including transfusions, genetic testing, and providing cells for bone marrow transplants. New technologies can improve both the efficiency and safety--particularly to healthcare workers--of umbilical cord blood collection.
