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.
