FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MMRGlobal to Report Record 2014 Revenues
LOS ANGELES, CA (March 9, 2015) - MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCQB:
MMRF) ("MMR"), a leading provider of Personal Health Records ("PHRs") through its patented MyMedicalRecords product and service offerings, today announced that the Company plans on reporting record revenues for Calendar Year 2014. This is in addition to previously announced results from the third quarter, which does not include the fourth quarter results and revenues from a third large retail pharmacy company. The Company will also announce its first sales and licensing agreement in Canada for the distribution of the MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record, where MMR holds a Canadian patent for "Method and System for Providing Online Medical Records." In 2015, MMR also plans on selling selected portions of its biotech assets which include a broad array of tissue, blood and tumor samples collected from its FavId™ vaccine trials that MMR is informed has significant value.Additionally, the Company is in negotiations in numerous regions in the Middle East and with previous licensees in Japan regarding sales, licensing and other strategic opportunities involving its
Personal Health Record products and services. Governments in the Middle East are focused on an agenda to utilize health IT as part of an ambitious expansion of their healthcare system, particularly pertaining to the fight against diabetes. Also, given the number of expats, MyMedicalRecords further responds to the needs of the region by providing instant access to health data 24/7 from any healthcare professional anywhere in the world. Japan also has mandates regarding the use of Personal Health Records which went into effect following the Tsunami disaster of 2011. MMR has Personal Health Record patents both issued and pending in Japan.In most GCC countries, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) along with demographic changes are shifting the burden of disease to lifestyle habits and risky behaviors. Diabetes is a #1 health problem, with cardiovascular disease, hypertension and obesity on the rise. Coordinating care for the chronic disease pandemic is essential, and having real-time access to health information in an emergency can be life-saving. MyMedicalRecords enables timely communication between patients and their healthcare providers to reduce medical errors and more effectively manage care.
MyMedicalRecords is a secure, easy-to-use, comprehensive Personal Health Record that uses its patented technologies to give patients and healthcare providers the ability share medical records interoperably into a PHR account. The information is then accessible from any Internet-connected computer anywhere in the world with no special hardware or software requirements. A separate Emergency Login feature enables first responders and medical personnel to have read-only access to potentially life-saving information in the event of a medical emergency.
In addition to being a leading provider of secure and easy-to-use Personal Health Records through its
MyMedicalRecords PHR, MMR also offers the MMRPro document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals, and the MyEsafeDepositBox solution which provides an online site to securely store important legal, financial, insurance and other important documents, as well as medical and personal health information. MMR currently has 13 issued U.S. health IT patents including U.S. Patent Nos. 8,301,466; 8,352,287; 8,352,288; 8,121,855; 8,117,646; 8,117,045; 8,321,240; 8,498,883; 8,626,532, 8,645,161; 8,725,537; 8,768,725 and 8,775,212, as well as additional applications and continuation applications involving inventions pertaining to Personal Health Records, Patient Portals and other Electronic Health Record systems. Beyond the U.S., MMR has patents issued, pending and/or applied for in 11 other countries or regional authorities of commercial interest including Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Israel and Europe.
