Posted on: Monday, 25 July 2005, 12:00 CDT

WorldDoc Inc., a provider of integrated Health Management Systems, today announced the release of MyHealth 24/7 version 7 (v7). With its innovative technology, the dynamic v7 adds valuable features, empowering users to manage their health decisions and take charge of preventive care.

"We want to revolutionize the way people think about health care. With continuously rising medical costs, it is crucial that patients are involved and informed to make good decisions regarding their health. The new version of MyHealth 24/7 adds a variety of tools to support users in evaluating conditions and treatments, as well as keeping their health on the right track," said Rahul Singal, M.D., president of WorldDoc Inc.

The ability to import and export medical records, including medical and prescription claims, allows MyHealth 24/7 to identify high-risk individuals and select specific care plans that these patients can discuss with their doctor. In addition, the claims information is stored in the member's own health file (My Health Files), giving them the power to be involved in their care.

"Your medical records should be yours; we want you to see the information your doctor keeps on file concerning your health. The sophisticated features of MyHealth 24/7 version 7 offer our users numerous possibilities to educate themselves about health, medications and chronic conditions. Users may decide when self-care is appropriate and/or medical attention is necessary, as well as make choices between over-the-counter drugs, generics and brand name medications, saving themselves and their employers money," said Jay Johnson, M.D. and chief medical officer of WorldDoc Inc.

Feature Highlights:

-- My Health Files offers a comprehensive suite of health data including insurance information, medical and pharmacy claims, health risk assessments and personal health data.

-- The expanded Pharmacy section contains the new Pharmacy Locator, an Rx Comparison tool to evaluate medications and prices, as well as functionality to track prescriptions.

-- The "Care Navigator" allows users to communicate with a nurse by chat, telephone or e-mail. Transcripts of the communications are stored in the member's secure area.
