MMRGlobal's Personal Health Record Featured in ng Connect Showcase at CES in Las Vegas January 10-13
LOS ANGELES, CA, Jan 10, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF), a leading provider of Personal
Health Records (PHR), MyEsafeDepositBox storage solutions and
electronic document management and imaging systems for healthcare
professionals, today announced that its MyMedicalRecords.com PHR will
be part of the ng Connect Program's service concept, TeleConsult,
storing patients' medical history, including wirelessly transmitted
biometric data for use by patients and their medical team. The new
connected user experience will be unveiled at the 2012 Consumer
Electronics Show, January 10-13, in Las Vegas in the Alcatel-Lucent
Booth #31412. MyMedicalRecords, Alcatel-Lucent and other ng Connect
members will demonstrate this concept and the multi-industry open
innovation program (see Alcatel-Lucent news release issued today
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Alcatel-Lucent-The-ng-Connect-prnews-3185967142.html?x=0).
As part of TeleConsult, the MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record
allows users to have access to a patient's PHR and collected
biometric data. After the data is transferred, users can also
communicate with healthcare professionals through video conferencing.
Featuring a group of ng Connect members that combine their products
to follow the progress of a surgery patient through recovery using
telemedicine, TeleConsult is a self-care program encompassing remote
monitoring of biometric data, oversight of treatment compliance,
access to personal health records and frequent communication between
patient and medical providers. The widespread availability of
broadband access and the enabling technologies provided by this
ecosystem provide the patient with a sense that their medical
provider is always there to assist them regardless of where they are
located. The information from TeleConsult populates itself in a
MyMedicalRecords PHR for physicians and patients to manage care in
real time.
"Health and wellness is an industry poised to take advantage of next
generation technologies and TeleConsult is a great example of a
potential service. MMRGlobal is the leader in securely transmitting
medical records, and their contribution to TeleConsult ensures that
consumers are not only getting instant medical advice, they are also
getting it safely and completely protected," said Jason Collins, Vice
President, Emerging Technology & Innovation at Alcatel-Lucent.
According to Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal, "We are
proud to be part of the ng Connect TeleConsult service concept in
what we believe is the first demonstration of a service that would
allow patients to have vital data from monitoring devices sent to
their MyMedicalRecords.com Personal Health Record on a real-time
basis for sharing with their physicians and other healthcare
providers. Because MyMedicalRecords.com can connect with any health
IT product or service globally, being an ng Connect member exposes
our flagship product to potential strategic opportunities with other
members. At the same time, it affords MMR the opportunity of
integrating and selling other members' products and services to our
customers."
Yesterday, MMR also announced that it is unveiling a prepaid Personal
Health Record card under its MyMedicalRecords brand in the
Alcatel-Lucent Booth #2931 at the CES Digital Health Summit. The card
will be offered at retail stores throughout the United States and
will be redeemable for a Personal Health Record account on the
MyMedicalRecords.com platform. More information can be seen at
