Personal health records now accessible via mobile phones

Healthcare consumers will soon be able to access their personal health records through their mobile phones thanks to CapMed’s acquisition of Juke System’s ICE First technology.

The patent-pending ICE First technology is expected to enhance CapMed’s suite of personal health management solutions. It gives healthcare consumers immediate cell phone access to emergency and routine health information for themselves and up to 10 family members. Personal health information can also be updated through a web-based database.

“By combining ICE First technology with the award-winning products from CapMed, users of ICE First are better positioned to monitor and manage their own health, as well as the health of family members,” said Keith Buckley, president and CEO of Juke Systems.

“The ability to access up-to-date health information from cell phones will go a long way toward improving consumersÂ’ interactions with physicians and clinicians and with the entire healthcare system.””

Supported mobile phones will include popular brands from Nokia, Palm, Blackberry, Motorola, LG and Samsung. Apple iPhone support is also in development. ICE First is now available for download by individual patients and healthcare consumers.
