The MedFlash program is designed to store personal health and lifestyle information on the Internet and includes a portable USB flash drive as part of its I.C.E (In Case of Emergency program) along with a 24/7/365 days 800 emergency call center. The MedFlash internet site allows the member to maintain and update all of their critical information and then download only selected key information to the flash drive. Personal Health Records is one of the most publicized segments of healthcare today and the Company believes MedFlash is in the forefront of this new marketplace.
"After much research we felt it to be imperative that we offer a Personal Health Record to our population," stated Evangeline Abellada, founding partner of Mau Loa Nui. "The need for individuals to have critical health and lifestyle information readily available for any untoward situation is obvious and after an extensive search we realized no product is more user friendly, economical and comprehensive than MedFlash. We believe it will change the way patients are clinically treated and will no doubt lead to fewer medical errors that are caused by lack of information. We are proud to be part of the MedFlash family and look forward to benefiting patients with the MedFlash Personal Health Manager."
