STUART, FL--(Marketwire - March 08, 2011) - Connectyx Technologies Holdings Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CTYX) (“Connectyx”), www.connectyx.com, manufacturer and distributor of the MedFlash®, the nation’s premier Personal Health and Wellness Management System (ePHM) for maintaining personal health records (PHR), announced today that the company will be exhibiting at the 7th NEYEPA National EYEPA Coalition March 10th - 12th at Bahia Mar Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. After the recent success with the introduction of the MedFlash III at the Palm Beach County Optometric Association Winter Seminar with the Company’s Patient - Doctor Health and Wellness Social Network Portal, Connectyx is continuing to utilize this momentum of direct marketing for the MedFlash III.
As previously announced, the MedFlash development team is continuing with the selection process for its “Alpha Group” of 40-50 selected healthcare professionals that will have a direct impact on the features to be offered on this new innovative technology platform. MedFlash III will be compatible to communicate with various EMR partners to deliver services and opportunities to patient members who can be given or denied access to the MedFlash portal by the health care professionals who provided the portal, depending on the physicians’ individual wishes and needs of his/her specific practice. For example, MedFlash offers a robust personal health history tool for patients to use to gather information or prepare in advance of a specific doctor visit. A preventative care organization which has its own personal health history form may want to substitute the in-house form for the existing one in MedFlash, while other doctors will simply benefit from the existing MedFlash Online Patient - Physician Office visit questionnaire and family medical history.
MedFlash Doctor/Patient Portal will facilitate the doctor-patient relationship by providing a communication loop which enables the doctor’s office to asynchronously communicate with their patients, both individually and collectively. This loop, which will use social networking tools, will utilize a patient portal where the patient can receive communications and information from the doctor’s practice. Some of these features will include, but not be limited to, recording appointment schedules and reminders, tracking treatment compliance and receiving targeted health information. The health care practitioners will benefit by being able to adding medical information to their patients’ MedFlash portals, as well as receive selected information from their patients which results in an increase in patient satisfaction, attracts new patients and saves time and overhead for the healthcare practitioners.
MedFlash Doctor/Patient Portal will be co-branded with the healthcare practitioner who provides it to the patient. Patients will be able to use features that receive information from other doctors and allied providers, but the initial healthcare practitioner will remain the central focal point featured in the patient’s health and wellness portal.
The patient’s MedFlash portal will create the ideal communication tool between doctor and patient allowing the patient to engage in self-care between healthcare practitioner and doctor visits and enabling the back office to communicate asynchronously with patients, reducing missed appointments, misinformation, patient non-compliance, duplicated efforts, telephone calls and unnecessary faxes. The MedFlash III Doctor/Patient Portal creates the perfect third party relationship to benefit both the patient and the doctor. By publishing selected information to the portal, the healthcare practitioner office is in total control of the dissemination of patient information.
