New York, 10 Nov 2008

Computer chipmaker Intel is introducing a technology to help homebound hospital patients with chronic medical problems, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

The Silicon Valley company will announce a series of trials with healthcare organisations of specialised hardware and software it has developed.

The Journal said the tests are designed to show whether the new tools bring improved results in treating conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.

Intel was not immediately available for comment.
