MEDICONNECT GLOBAL ANNOUNCES INTEGRATED SERVICE ON GOOGLE HEALTH PLATFORM

Service Retrieves Medical Records for Google Health Users

SALT LAKE CITY, May 19, 2008—MediConnect Global, Inc. announced today an integrated service on the Google Health platform. Google Health is a new product made available to the public today that helps users store, organize, and manage their medical records online.  MediConnect’s service helps Google Health users get access to all of their medical records including those that are electronic and paper-based through a time-proven medical retrieval system.

“MediConnect’s medical record retrieval service allows people to have access to information from their personal health history from anywhere in the world at anytime,” said Amy Rees Anderson, MediConnect Global CEO. “Decisions about our healthcare are the most critical decisions we make. Consumers should be able to get intimately involved in decisions regarding their personal healthcare.

“For this to happen, it is vital that the consumer be given an easy way to access their medical records. They also need to have someone assist them in understanding the data within that record by having it pulled out and presented in a simple, organized fashion. This is exactly what the MediConnect service will be offering to Google Health users and we are thrilled to be a part of the launch,” said Ms. Anderson.

Once consumers reach the MediConnect login screen from Google Health, they simply create a username and password and agree to link accounts, thereby allowing MediConnect to obtain medical information from the Google Health user’s profile upon their consent.

For a service fee, MediConnect then directly contacts the user’s healthcare providers to obtain their medical records. Once the records are obtained, MediConnect digitizes them and then gleans key information—such as prescriptions, doctors names, diagnosis and procedures, vital signs, hospitalization dates, immunizations, test results, alerts such as allergies, and other information—and then automatically forwards them to the user’s Google Health account. Users can also download PDF files of their actual records to store on their computer and/or to give to other healthcare providers/practitioners of their choosing.

MediConnect’s medical record retrieval system is HIPAA compliant ensuring consumers’ medical records are retrieved in the most secure and private means available.
