Consumers can also access their personal health information by going directly to the MedFlash Web site. This can be helpful in doctors' offices or hospitals and emergency rooms.

Its owners not only to keep medical history but gives them the ability to download MRIs, XRays, and a host of other medical and life style information all on a 1 GB flash drive that can plug into any computer and or be accessed directly from the Internet.

Our second medical product - MRN - launched its initial robust claims management software, which specializes in reprocessing claims. Last year alone MRN successfully handled over 10 million claims. The product has been tested through licensing agreements and now has proof positive that the product works in a variety of settings: medical offices, large multi physician practices, hospitals, clinics, medical mail order, and large medical billing companies. Throughout 2007 and into early 2008, the company made significant modifications which will enhance the product. Management is reviewing their business model to offer its service on a transactional basis which could bring significant revenue to the company. It should have a significant benefit for clients, typically saving them thousands of dollars during its periods of use.
