CapMed Adds Analysis App to PHR


September 5, 2008

Personal health records vendor CapMed will offer an optional gaps-in-care analysis module with its software.

The Newtown, Pa.-based vendor offers Web-based PHRs, primarily paid for by sponsors such as insurance companies or employers. The company licensed technology from three undisclosed vendors to build the analysis engine, which it calls "smart messaging."

The engine will analyze information in a PHR, either entered by a consumer or automatically inputted by an insurer or employer. The consumer will receive personally relevant information on treatment options, support groups, clinical trials, medication recalls, treatment reminders, and vital signs out of their normal range.

The alerts can be sent for display on the PHR's dashboard, or via text messages or secure e-mail. With a consumer's permission, alerts also can be sent to specific clinicians.
