CapMed, a division of Bio-Imaging Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BITI) and a leader in interactive personal health management solutions, announced today that it will be hosting two presentations at America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) conference in San Francisco, CA. The presentations, led by Wendy Angst, General Manager of CapMed and Michael Staufacker, Director of Program Development for StayWell Health Management, are scheduled for June 19th at 1-2 and again at 3-4 p.m. With limited seating available, interested parties are encouraged to email CapMed at [email protected] to reserve a place.
As the demand for improved healthcare heightens, wellness programs are becoming increasingly popular throughout the country. According to Working Well: A Global Survey of Health Promotion and Workplace Wellness Strategies, released in October 2007, 86 percent of U.S. employers surveyed offer wellness programs. The top strategic objective for offering wellness programs is to drive down health care costs.
“CapMed’s partnership with StayWell Health Management is just one of the many ways we enable consumers to become stronger advocates for their own health,” Angst said. “Combining CapMed’s award winning PHR with StayWell’s health assessment and disease management programs, provide powerful means for health plans to work with their members to increase member involvement and ultimately to lower medical costs.”
Combining wellness programs with CapMed’s comprehensive and interoperable PHR is a natural partnership that brings great value to the consumer. Through CapMed’s PHR, users can track and manage all facets of personal health and wellness information from home and from work or while in transit at any time of the day or night. Consumers can link to individually-relevant patient education information and receive important alerts and reminders, supporting CapMed’s goal of making health information personal, understandable and actionable. Additionally, consumers as well as their family members can take advantage of multiple tools and features to manage their health information. For example, users can access a drug interaction checker, import data from remote healthcare monitoring devices, and even authorize providers, family members and caregivers to view all or part of the data within their PHR.
CapMed will showcase the integrated offering with StayWell during the AHIP conference in Room B on the exhibit floor.
