AARP Launch of PHR Gives Boost to Personal Health Records Industry and MyMedicalRecords


LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 6, 2012) - Bob Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF) ("MMR"), today stated that AARP's launch of a Personal Health Record (PHR) is the most important measure of credibility to date for the PHR industry. MMR is a leading provider of patented Personal Health Record technologies through its secure Internet portals and believes it will benefit from this announcement as a result of increased consumer awareness of PHRs and licensing services to other health information technology companies. MMRGlobal also provides healthcare professionals an integrated patient portal through its MMRPro electronic document management and imaging system. The Company believes that the AARP Health Record(SM) will open the door to wider adoption of PHRs by the general public and usage in patient care by healthcare providers.

Jointly announced yesterday by AARP and Microsoft Corp., AARP Health Record connects with Microsoft® HealthVault® to help people better manage their health. MMR already has an agreement in place with Microsoft® HealthVault® to integrate its services with their platform as a HealthVault® Solution Provider. The Company believes that the announcement adds credibility to industry projections on the growth of PHRs and that ultimately this growth could accelerate industry consolidation.

According to Bob Lorsch, "Our products and services are protected by a suite of patents issued, pending and applied for covering MMR's technologies that enable individuals to receive health information, including copies of actual medical records, medical images, lab reports and confidential voice messages, into their secure online PHR account from all their healthcare providers via an integrated Internet/fax/voice mail platform. With MyMedicalRecords PHR, patients can also add handwritten notes and take advantage of an easy-to-use file management system. The system works with any EMR platform and whether or not a provider has implemented an EMR. MMR's patent portfolio also includes tools for accessing medical information in the event of an emergency."

A Personal Health Record allows individuals and family members to have greater control over their health and well-being by enabling them to store all their personal health information in one secure online location and access, manage and share it with their doctors or caregivers whenever and wherever needed. This leads to greater coordination of care resulting in fewer preventable medical errors and reduced healthcare costs by eliminating unnecessary duplicate testing.

The AARP Health Record announcement also calls attention to insurance carriers, employers and other benefit organizations offering PHRs as part of their services and the importance for individuals and family members to have a Personal Health Record in the event of an emergency. The MyMedicalRecords PHR includes a "MyEsafeDepositBox" which is designed to store other important documents and images, such as copies of insurance policies, advance directives, wills, and powers-of-attorney, and also a proprietary Physician Emergency Login through which medical personnel can access potentially life-saving information in an emergency or disaster situation where the member is unable to communicate or is far from home.

To take advantage of today's opportunities in healthcare IT, MMRGlobal continues to work with strategic partners whose interests are aligned with the Company's. These include Chartis International Insurance (formerly AIG), Alcatel-Lucent, ng Connect, 4medica, Interbit Data, MedicAlert®, Regent Surgical Health, Vida Senior Resource and affiliated home healthcare agencies, VisiInc in Australia, Unis-Tonghe in China, UST Global®, as well as independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains and other retailers, visiting nurses, caregivers, patient advocates, in-home sales affiliates, hospitals and medical supply companies. As part of its sales strategy, MMRGlobal is in the process of creating a national manufacturers representative network that will focus on selling Prepaid Personal Health Record cards at retail to the larger chains and mass merchandisers.
