Program Gives Company International Footprint
| Source: MMR Information Systems, Inc.
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - June 8, 2009) - MMR Information Systems, Inc. (OTCBB : MMRF ), which through its
wholly-owned operating subsidiary, MyMedicalRecords, Inc. (collectively,
"MMR"), provides consumer-controlled Personal Health Records ("PHRs")
(www.mymedicalrecords.com) and electronic safe deposit box storage
solutions (www.myesafedepositbox.com), today announced that it will be
launching a global Personal Health Record and Esafe Deposit Box for AIU
Holdings' expatriate employees and policyholders of AIU Holdings' Accident
and Health insurance policies. The product will be introduced at a meeting
of AIU Holdings' 12 Worldwide Marketing Units in Malaysia on June 23, 2009.
The MyMedicalRecords multi-lingual PHR for the Expat marketplace is
expected to be an integral part of the insurance company's offering for its
expatriate U.S. clients, as well as for AIU Holdings' employees who work
overseas while maintaining U.S. residency. It will be private labeled as
part of AIU Holdings' new global branding strategy.
"This is a tremendously exciting opportunity for MMR Information Systems,"
said Robert H. Lorsch, MMR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are
proud to be included as an integral part of a global insurance product
offering featuring the first International Personal Health Record for the
Expat market that can be used 24 hours a day, 365 days a year worldwide.
With a MyMedicalRecords PHR combined with a MyEsafeDepositBox virtual
vault, travelers and U.S. expatriates will be able to electronically
paper-proof their life, providing convenience and added peace of mind from
country to country."
The MyMedicalRecords PHR is a secure, easy-to-use Personal Health Record
that enables individuals to store and manage their medical records and
other important documents -- such as insurance policies, financial records
and legal papers -- in one convenient location and access them anytime from
anywhere using an Internet-connected device. Built on an integrated
Internet/fax/voicemail platform, the system gives individuals and their
healthcare providers the ability to easily transfer medical information --
including physician notes, lab reports and scanned images -- via fax or
Internet to a secured personally-controlled online account. MMR's
proprietary technology enables all of one's paper-based records to be faxed
into his or her account using a dedicated "Lifeline" telephone number that
is designed to provide users the ability to safely move their information
anywhere in the world regardless of the technology on the other end.
In addition, every MyMedicalRecords PHR account features a separate
Emergency Login that allows medical personnel to access potentially
life-saving information such as blood type and allergies that is
pre-selected by the user in the event of an emergency or disaster during
which normal communication channels are unavailable. Each
MyMedicalRecords PHR account also covers up to 10 family members and
features unlimited fax and voice messaging capability, making
MyMedicalRecords an international family command center.
