SANTA BARBARA, Calif.–(EMWNews)–InTouch Technologies, Inc. (d.b.a InTouch Health), the world leader in

Remote Presence health care solutions, announced today that it has

entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with Genentech, to facilitate

Activase^® (Alteplase)

education for its growing telestroke customer base. Activase, a

recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) developed by Genentech,

is approved for the management of acute ischemic stroke in adults.

Through this agreement, the companies will collaborate and Genentech

will provide Activase in-servicing and education to hospitals that have

InTouch’s Remote Presence telestroke

capabilities. This service is intended to benefit InTouch’s

telestroke customers by ensuring that a facility’s

emergency department staff receives timely training after the

installation of a Remote Presence telestroke system on the proper use of

Activase.

Yulun Wang, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of InTouch Technologies said, “I

am very pleased to announce this agreement with Genentech. Stroke is a

leading cause of death and permanent disability in the United States and

we hope that efforts such as this collaboration will continue to advance

the standard of stroke care, particularly in geographically remote areas.”
