IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 8, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- "It's no secret that the use of health-related information through the Internet has become an enormous industry," stated SmallCap Sentinel analyst D.R. Clark. "But the real magic of this powerful information may well be in its corporate applications. Keeping employees healthy and at work is in many ways like increasing the size of your labor force at no extra expense. Of course, there are also the inherent health benefits to the employee. Companies that can provide these services may well bring value to investors."
"Along these lines, flexSCAN, Inc. (OTCBB:FXSC) has launched a new program that is designed to take advantage of these converging interests; it's called 'health360' (www.health360.com)," noted Clark. "health360 does something extraordinary by giving both employers and employees cash and non-cash incentives for their compliance and follow-through with a comprehensive workplace health and wellness program. Much of the cost is underwritten by advertisers and marketers who -- like employers -- benefit from a healthy workforce, plus all that powerful information."
Employees earn 'reward points' for using the free services offered through program and for reading ads, participating in surveys, and other marketing activities. Employers earn a share of revenues based upon employee activity.
"health360 is branded as a corporate health and wellness program that offers free disease screening services plus health risk assessments, a member wellness Internet portal, online diet and fitness portal, member-controlled electronic medical records technology, and radiology imaging archiving. Its services feature ultrasound scanning, CT-imaging, a customizable online fitness trainer, online nutrition planner, and electronic personal health records storage," said Clark.
