As hospitals and other healthcare organizations continue to expand their use of Smartphone’s and other mobile devices, the need for mass app deployment and management becomes more essential. Not only do healthcare enterprises require an easy and efficient method to distribute apps, they must be able to access patient driven mHealth data and connect it to the “single patient record” in the back-end EHR.
In 2012 HealthSaaS will be launching a “Connected Device and Application Catalog (CDAC)”. The CDAC is part of a strategic alliance agreement signed with Happtique in October 2011.

The CDAC will offer a suite of mobile applications and medical devices to both patients and physicians which enable patients to perform remote self-monitoring of their health. The HealthSaaS Connected Outcomes Platform will capture physician-requested data collected by patients on their mobile devices onto a secured, white-labeled provider portal and optionally into backend Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs). This platform-agnostic solution will bring patient data into the very heart of clinical practice information flow where it can have a profound and positive impact on outcomes. HealthSaaS will provide the connected apps and medical devices while Happtique will provide the means for healthcare providers to manage and control the deployment of these tools to their patients.
- HealthSaaS mHealth applications can serve as the platform for consumer related software such as wellness programs and disease management solutions. Applications related to diseases ranging from hypertension to diabetes, from smoking cessation to general pediatric applications, are currently being developed and tested.
- HealthSaaS mhealth solutions can store a patient or subjects personal health information safely and securely on their phone or can utilize the Connected Outcomes Platform to share data with authorized web applications, EMR systems, personal health platforms such as HealthVault and Dossia.
- mHealth solutions can be very efficient tools for medical research, enabling patient data to be transmitted easily and instantaneously to authorized, pre-programmed research centers,
