Posted on: Thursday, 21 June 2007, 15:00 CDT

CapMed, a division of Bio-Imaging Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BITI), a leader in Personal Health Management Solutions, announced that Wendy Angst, general manager of CapMed, will outline the requirements for an ideal personal health record (PHR) at Institute 2007, American Health Insurance Plans' Annual Meeting. "Real Healthcare Consumerism -- Lessons on How to Make Consumer-Focused Efforts More Meaningful" will take place on Friday, June 22 at 10:45 am and showcase optimal PHR features such as flexibility, portability, privacy, consumer-focus, security, automatic population, and personalization.

A co-sponsor of Institute 2007, CapMed is offering attendees complementary licenses to its Online Emergency Personal Health Record (EPHR). Accessible via CDs distributed to all attendees, the EPHR allows healthcare consumers to record information related to demographics, conditions, medications, allergies, medical devices, emergency contacts, and insurance information. Using the 'Invite Others' features, users can provide access to all or part of their health information to caregivers, providers or others through secure URL. Also featured on the CD is an interactive presentation highlighting CapMed's Personal Health Record suite which include claims download capabilities, treatment decision support, targeted messaging, drug interaction checking, and other health and wellness tools.

"We now have the power to extend the PHR through integrated decision support tools and advanced analytics that leverage health claims and other data," says Wendy Angst, General Manager of CapMed. "The result is a PHR solution that's comprehensive, consumer-centric, interoperable, modular, customizable, and secure."

Institute 2007 is being held from June 20-22 at The Wynn in Las Vegas, where CapMed will showcase its personal health management solutions at booth #1237. Plans are for CapMed to focus on the TEPR-award winning Personal Health Record suite, including desktop and portable versions, as well as the newly released online version.

CapMed offers three interchangeable formats: the Online Personal Health Record, Personal Health Record (PHR) desktop software and the portable Personal HealthKey™, which uses USB flash technology for enhanced health information portability, security, privacy and data protection.
