MMRGlobal and VisiInc PLC Announce Major eHealth Record Solution for Australia


LOS ANGELES, CA and PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Jul 17, 2012) - MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF) (MMR) and VisiInc PLC have announced a combined product offering representing an immediate solution within Australia for the Personally Controlled eHealth Record (PCEHR) standard as defined by the government's National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA). The product incorporates MMR's Australian eHealth patent portfolio combined with VisiInc's Vistime solution and addresses the opportunities created from the launch of Australia's Personal Health Record on July 1 as well as interoperability of numerous eHealth and telehealth platforms being used in countries around the world.

MMR's Personal Health Record products are already interoperable with numerous Electronic Medical Record systems globally and should be capable of meeting changes in future compliance requirements by NEHTA as Australia implements a national eHealth record system. This represents an enormous opportunity for both VisiInc and MMRGlobal to consolidate their technologies and deploy an Australian product base within a fraction of the time of local competitors.

Bob Lorsch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MMRGlobal, said, "As a result of the License Agreement between MMR and VisiInc, our Australian partner is in a position to leverage the MyMedicalRecords Australian patent portfolio to implement a secure NEHTA-compliant service that delivers unified integration of electronic Personal Health Records to work with the takeup of any system, from digitizing plain paper files to transmitting, storing and sharing digital files."

According to Jacques Blandin, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of VisiInc PLC, "This represents an enormous opportunity for both VisiInc and MMR to consolidate and share their technologies and deploy an Australian product base with mature technology that has already gained significant traction internationally. Currently, there are many fragmented product offerings meeting only a small facet of the total solutions globally. Through Vistime and MMR, we have a combined product offering specifically designed to meet the needs of the end user with a powerful yet simple-to-use technology. Vistime is the world's easiest to use multi-file format, real-time 3D viewer for powerful collaboration of medical records, including radiological images, using Visi rapid visual rendering capabilities."

The two Companies will now offer a MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record in Australia which will include viewing of digital images to NEHTA standards and featuring real-time collaboration between physicians and patients with video and audio conferencing provided through the Visi platform.
