It's been around for some time- See IH QCOM post below-
IH 03 09 12 CARDIAC MONITORING QConnect CardioNet monitoring device
DR, WOW re: Q and Cardiac Monitoring. I imagine the CardioNet monitoring device includes a CDMA module with a Q MSM and will be another contributor to the non-handset related revenue stream. Also, the QConnect wireless network management service is new to me and also represents another non-handset related revenue stream.

CARDIAC MONITORING: QUALCOMM to deliver wireless data monitoring service to cardiac care providers
Health & Medicine Week
September 15, 2003
QUALCOMM, Inc., (QCOM), together with CardioNet, a provider of mobile outpatient cardiac telemetry technology and services, announced that CardioNet's cardiac monitoring service has been enabled with QUALCOMM's Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology and wireless networking services.
QUALCOMM is providing the QConnect wireless network management service to provide connectivity between the CardioNet mobile monitoring devices and the CardioNet Monitoring Center.
QUALCOMM's QConnect service provides the back-end infrastructure and network management service that allows the device to wirelessly transmit patient ECG data to the CardioNet Monitoring Center, and ultimately deliver succinct, timely information to physicians for diagnosis and therapy management.
The wireless service also allows physicians to select events to be monitored and the level and timing of response by the CardioNet Monitoring Center - from routine daily reporting to detailed statistical reports.
These reports, available by Internet, e-mail, fax, or mail, have been designed to allow rapid review of cardiac arrhythmia events, assisting physicians in making a diagnosis, assessing the severity of a known cardiac rhythm problem, or in managing treatment.
