History

Medical Online Technology – MEDLINETEC was born as an innovation project in 2005 in response to the challenge of providing a better quality of life, maintaining the quality of care and reducing the costs of chronic patients dependent on technology in the Pediatric Intensive Care Units of Hospitals.

The first patient was a two-year-old boy who had been living in the hospital since birth. His parents could only see him during scheduled visits. Thanks to the Medlinetec system, this patient was able to move to his home 30 km away, as if he were another room in the hospital. After the success achieved by the system with this first patient, the achievement of the established objectives and, with the hope of being able to make this system available to a greater number of people, Medical Online Technology – MEDLINETEC was created in 2006.

Since then, Medical Online Technology – MEDLINETEC has had continuous growth, and has positioned itself as a leader in home monitoring of technology-dependent patients, while developing new applications and services through the application of Information and Communication Technologies to the medical and healthcare sector.
