Strategic Relationship Provides Patients with Secure Tool to Manage and Share Health Information with Emergency Care Providers at the Point-of-care

Vital Data Technology, a provider of emergency medical information systems, announced today that MyVitalDataTM will demonstrate the MyVitalData Emergency Communication GatewayTM application at the Microsoft HealthVault Solutions Conference taking place June 9-10, 2008 in Bellevue, Washington. MyVitalData, the first and only service that connects vital patient health information to networks of hospital emergency departments and emergency care personnel, is built to connect with HealthVault, Microsoft’s consumer health platform.

“The MyVitalData Emergency Communication Gateway provides consumers a secure online portal to not only create and maintain their vital health information, but to also immediately deliver this critical health information to attending healthcare professionals in an emergency care situation,” said Matt D’Ambrosia, CEO of Vital Data Technology. “Our strategic relationship with HealthVault further enhances consumers’ ability to manage their personal health information and provide this vital information to first responders and emergency departments at the point-of-care.”

Vital Data Technology uses two-way communication to maintain the availability of updated data between both MyVitalData and HealthVault records. As a result, the latest member health information input into either a MyVitalData account or a record stored in HealthVault is automatically shared between the two systems.

“The connection of MyVitalData with HealthVault directly addresses the need to present health management applications that are complementary and work in tandem to improve patient safety and quality of care,” said David Cerino, general manager, Microsoft Health Solutions Group. “MyVitalData recognizes the importance of empowering consumers with secure tools that allow them to be in control of their health information and become active and engaged members of their personal healthcare team.”

In the event a member needs emergency care, his/her information is accessed through the MyVitalData Provider Authentication Process, allowing only recognized emergency medical system, hospital emergency department and emergency management organization personnel access to data. The MyVitalData Emergency Communication Gateway ensures the strictest standards of patient confidentiality. Vital health data is safely and securely stored for the implicit purpose of assisting patients in the time of a health emergency and natural or manmade disasters.
