SAN DIEGO, California - February 8, 2011  

Humetrix, an innovative health information technology solutions provider, will showcase its “ready-to-deploy” mHealth solutions for practical, cost-effective health information access and exchange at the upcoming Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Conference and Expo.

This year, HIMSS will take place from February 20th to 24th at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida and Humetrix will exhibit in the New and Emerging Technology Pavilion, Booth #218, Hall A, and present its mobile health information exchange solutions on Tuesday, February 22 from 3:15 to 4:00 pm.

Humetrix CEO, Dr. Bettina Experton, will also serve as moderator of a session featuring Roger W. Baker, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Assistant Secretary for Information and Technology, who will speak on a “Vision for the VA and Health Information Technology.” This panel is scheduled for Monday, February 21st, from 9:45 to 10:45 in room 307A.

“The Wounded Warrior returning from Afghanistan who must now travel among various facilities to receive care faces a challenge similar to the experience of many Americans, who struggle to navigate a world in which their health information is stored in multiple physician offices, hospitals, urgent care centers and a myriad of other locations. This scattered health information landscape often results in less than optimal care because physicians cannot immediately retrieve their patients’ most current medical history,” says Dr. Experton.

The challenge for health care IT is indeed to provide a practical solution to this critical problem while simultaneously helping to meet our federal healthcare IT leaders’ objectives for true meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs). To this end, Humetrix offers mHealth solutions which, in the hands of and controlled by the patient, provide physicians with the ability to directly access their patients’ disparate web accessible health records.

“Capitalizing on the use of ubiquitous and intuitive IT tools, with no software installation or system integration required, Humetrix solutions allow physicians to immediately and securely access and exchange their patients’ EHRs from any location in a practical and convenient way.”

“Furthermore, the patient,” says Experton, “retains full control over who can access and when their health information is accessed, while his physicians are able to access and view their patient’s most current health information, resulting in improved care coordination and more cost-effective health care.”

Physician-founded in 1991, Humetrix is emerging as the leading developer of mobile IT health solutions that are embedded in a range of mobile devices, such as smart phones, USB flash drives, smart cards and portable monitoring devices - for automated and secure web access to medical records.

Humetrix device embedded solutions automatically point to one or more web accessible patient records, authenticate the device holder and download an individual’s health records in “one simple click” or “one simple touch” of an app on a patient’s phone or a physician’s tablet.

Humetrix mHealth solutions also leverage the VA or Medicare “Blue Button” information download feature through its combined Blue Button authentication and direct pointer. These scalable, immediately deployable solutions not only facilitate improved care coordination, but also provide for critical patient control and individual health record privacy protection. Enabling quick and easy access to a patient’s most current health information also helps reduce duplicative tests and procedures, lowering the cost of health care for all.
