“Our second quarter growth was the result of our renewed focus on
creating, on behalf of our clients, more effective patient engagement
and care coordination using our MobiSecure® technology,” said Dr. Pak.
“The improvement in revenue reflects the strong leverage in our model
and the value we’ve created in our intellectual property.
“With MobiSecure, we are able to address the increasing demand by
healthcare organizations for patient-centered mobile solutions that
improve quality of care, reduce costs and provide critical security in
a mobile environment. No other mHealth platform offers the security and
feature-richness of MobiSecure, including its ability to securely
connect to back-end servers and allow two-way communications or
analysis of personal health information. Security features embedded in
our platform include data encryption at rest and in transit, as well as
patented mobile software anti-cloning protection. Altogether, there is
not a more robust solution for delivering this type of patient care on
the market today.
“Increasingly major organizations that deliver healthcare are beginning
to take notice of this, as evidenced by our growing marquee customer
list that now includes Janssen, U.S. Army, MiHealth, University of
Nebraska, and others. We anticipate our gathering momentum to continue
as we complete the second half 2012.”
