NEWTOWN, Pa. - (Business Wire) CapMed, a division of Bio-Imaging Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BITI) and a leader in interactive personal health management solutions, today announced its participation in the Medical Records Institute
’s Interoperability Project launched in collaboration with more than twenty exhibitors at the TEPR (Towards the Electronic Patient Record) Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Attendees of the 24th annual TEPR Conference are the first to experience how mobile phones can allow health care information to be securely shared among patients, health care providers and payers using a single wireless communications system. The goal is to show how mobile phones can improve the quality of medical care and convenience for consumers. This revolutionary approach is expected to change how patients and consumers interact with health care providers and payers.
“CapMed is committed to providing consumers with PHR solutions that integrate with multiple data sources and applications,” said Mary Ellen Zipper, Director of Client Relations for CapMed. “By integrating with AllOne Mobile and participating in their demonstration, we will show attendees how we empower the consumer to become their own health advocates.”
As part of the Interoperability Project, several thousand TEPR Conference attendees will be invited to load patient health information onto mobile phones using AllOne MobileSM, a secure mobile phone-based application created by the AllOne Health Group Inc. to manage personal health information. Once loaded, attendees will be able to use their mobile phones to interact with other partner exhibitors. Specifically, at the CapMed booth, participants will transfer their AllOne Mobile patient record information into CapMed’s onlinePHR and manipulate the data online by adding medications, allergies, conditions and other personal health data. Participants will then transfer their updated personal health record data back to their AllOne Mobile application.
Over the next nine months, Interoperability Project partners will refine the demonstration to provide the basis for a universal wireless health information exchange. The results of the project will be presented next February at the 2009 TEPR annual conference.
