MMRGlobal First out of the Gate With Personal Health Records for Horses


LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 9, 2013) - MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCQB: MMRF) ("MMR"), a leading provider of Personal Health Records ("PHRs") and MMRPro document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals, today announced that the Company is offering a PHR for horses targeted to the multibillion dollar equine industry. The offering will be managed by Steven Wolf, a 30-year veteran of the horse industry who is currently Director of North American Operations for Harnesslink.com, an international website that provides 24/7 coverage of the harness racing industry, and President of the United States Harness Writers Association. Under the new program, Wolf will assist MMR in building an online Personal Health Record system as part of a plan to offer MMR's patented Personal Health Record products and services to horse owners, trainers and veterinarians as well as pet owners. 

MMR believes that an interoperable Personal Health Record in the equine industry could also be a deterrent toward illegal drugs being used on horses. The need for drug testing of performance horses is as important as it is in all professional sports these days. The MyMedicalRecords Horse Health Record ("HHR") can store an electronic record of injections, scopes, blood tests, imaging reports and other medical information that is maintained by a registered veterinarian. The HHR system, whose platform is being built using the same patented technologies that allow documents, images and voicemail messages to be securely transmitted and stored in a MyMedicalRecords.com PHR, can eliminate mountains of paperwork and files which travel with horses.

Wolf was also formerly the Senior Director of Racing Operations at Isle Pompano Park (South Florida) and Director of Marketing and Communications at Freehold Raceway (New Jersey). Wolf's experience includes being an owner and breeder. Based on his knowledge, relationships and expertise, Wolf has already begun contacting various equine authorities, organizations and regulatory agencies in North America regarding standardizing a Horse's Health Record, covering horses of every breed.

According to Wolf, "My plan is to work with MMR to create a Horse Health Record similar to a 'CARFAX®' concept. Horse owners and trainers of all breeds should be able to view any medical record of work done on their horses by veterinarians, blacksmiths, dentists, trainers, and the history of the horse after birth and under previous owners. This will provide access to everything an owner might need from one secure online location to share about a horse with prospective buyers, transportation firms, regulators and track officials."

The horse industry contributes approximately $39 billion in direct economic impact to the U.S. economy on an annual basis, and when indirect spending is included, the number grows to $102 billion. "People in the horse industry should be able to see and review a horse's medical record before purchasing it privately or at a live or online auction. Owning, breeding, showing or racing horses is a very costly endeavor and the MyMedicalRecords HHR equine program can be of significant value to the equine industry," added Wolf.

MMR already has the ability to link to Electronic Medical Record ("EMR") systems in personal medicine and will now offer an inexpensive solution to link to veterinarian medical systems. MMR has eight issued U.S. patents and numerous other patents pending and applied for in more than 12 countries of commercial interest that are directed to providing online medical and Personal Health Records. These patents also apply to pets which are already included in a MyMedicalRecords PHR account as family members.
