eCareCoordinator is software intended for use in data aggregation, patient interaction facilitation, storage and clinical information management with independent physiological devices and ancillary systems that are connected either directly or through networks. The software is intended to provide patient information from the patient location through networking technology to a remote care team. eCareCoordinator does not send any real time alarms and is not intended to provide automated treatment decisions. This software is an informational tool only and is not to be used as a substitute for professional judgment of healthcare providers in diagnosing and treating patients.
Device Story
eCareCoordinator 1.5 is a software-only telemedicine system for home-based patient monitoring. It facilitates data aggregation, patient interaction, and clinical information management. The system connects to independent physiological devices (via Bluetooth or manual entry) and ancillary systems to transmit patient data to a remote care team. Clinicians use the eCC interface to view population data, measurement trends, and survey responses, while patients use the eCP interface on Android tablets or legacy Telestations. Features include two-way video calls, educational videos, and customizable intervention rules that trigger clinician notifications. The device does not provide real-time alarms or automated treatment decisions; it serves as an informational tool to support clinical decision-making. It is intended for use by care teams and patients capable of engaging with the software.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was performed. Substantial equivalence was supported by non-clinical verification and validation activities, including risk analysis, product specifications, design reviews, and functional/usability testing.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only telemedicine system. Operates on Android tablets and legacy Telestations. Connectivity via network and Bluetooth for physiological device data. Features include user authentication, role-based access control, audit logging, and locked-down tablet configuration. No patient-contacting components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by patients and by care teams for collecting and reviewing patient data from patients who are capable and willing to engage in use of this software, to transmit medical and non-medical information through integrated technologies.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition a physiological signal so that it can be transmitted via radiofrequency from one location to another, e.g., a central monitoring station. The received signal is reconditioned by the device into its original format so that it can be displayed.

#### Performance Data VII.
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
### Summary of Non-clinical testing
No performance standards for telehealth systems or components have been issued under the authority of Section 514. eCareCoordinator was tested in accordance with Philips verification and validation processes. Quality Assurance measures were applied to the system design and development, including:
- Risk Analysis
- Product Specifications
- Design Reviews
- Verification & Validations
### Summary of Clinical Testing
Clinical Performance testing for Philips eCareCoordinator 1.5 was not performed, as there were no new clinical applications that had hazards or risk mitigations that required clinical performance testing to support equivalence.
### Conclusions drawn from the Non-clinical and Clinical testing
Verification validation activities have been conducted to establish the performance, functionality, and usability characteristics of the new device with respect to the predicate, intended use and defined requirements. Testing included detailed functional, system level and usability testing. Test results demonstrated that eCareCoordinator 1.5 meets all specifications and user needs.
#### VIII. Conclusion
eCareCoordinator 1.5 is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared eCareCoordinator. Both devices have the same intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics and principles of operation. Differences in the available features, as discussed above, do not change the intended use or present any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
