New Mobile Diabetes Management Solution for Healthcare Unveiled
Mobile Health Tech Deploys mPro Care™ Trial for Diabetes at Clarkstown Medical.
Clark, NJ, February 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Mobile Health Tech (www.mobilehealthtech.md), a leading innovator of mobile healthcare solutions, has rolled out its first commercial trial of mPRO Care™ at Clarkstown Medical Associates, PC in New City, New York. mPRO Care™ is the first 2-way mobile diabetes solution that provides automated reminders and accepts readings using standard cell phones on all major U.S. service providers. mPRO Care™ was developed to help improve patient medication and treatment compliance for improved health care outcomes and reduced cost of care for patients with chronic conditions such as Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease and Hypertension, Asthma and Obesity. There are currently over 23 million diabetics in the U.S., about 8 percent of the total population, with approximately 2 million new diabetics diagnosed each year.
Clarkstown Medical Associates (CMA), a well established internal medicine practice is offering mPRO Care™ for its diabetes patients, in this trial, to evaluate its effectiveness in helping manage this hard to control disease. Medication compliance, proper nutrition and exercise are major factors in diabetes management – mPRO Care™ sends custom tailored medication reminders, motivational and behavioral trigger messages, and condition reading requests to patient cell phones in the form of text messages (SMS). Diabetes patients text back their blood sugar readings which are captured and plotted on a patient diary card graph in a secure portal for online access by either patient or physician.
“In today’s mobile lifestyle, it has become increasingly difficult for many patients with chronic conditions to be medication and treatment compliant,” noted Dr. Howard Feldfogel, CMA partner and Chief of Medicine at Nyack Hospital. “The mPRO Care system offers potential to help patients improve their compliance and management of diabetes and other chronic conditions.”
“Simplicity is the key to widespread success in the healthcare environment,” noted Bob Gold, President of Mobile Health Tech. “Because the solution is Software as a Service (SAAS), there is no hardware or software to install. In a matter of hours, a medical practice can begin to use mPRO Care™ to enhance patient care, reduce costs and improve outcomes.”
For the CMA trial, mPRO Care™ was implemented as part of a secure integrated solution platform for medical practices in partnership with Max.MD and AnswersMedia. Max.MD is an exclusive provider of .md domain names which has developed the only secure communications platform across a top level domain. AnswersMedia is an information content provider featuring HealthTV for online and mobile health videos. As an integrated healthcare solution, medical practices and hospitals can now get an integrated patient health management, communications and education platform that allows patients, physicians, hospitals and labs or other vendors to communicate affordably and securely via encrypted email in total compliance with HIPAA regulations.
According to a recent Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report on HIPAA Security and Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) compliance, both hospitals and medical practices will be audited this year for compliance with HIPAA regulations. Available today, MHT and Max.MD solutions have been implemented in major hospitals and in thousands of individual practices nationwide.
