A mobile solution

Today's fast-paced world has grown accustomed to the 24/7 access to almost every necessity, from online order processing and moving money in bank accounts to other transactional or informational needs. Additionally, most have access to virtually any personal information needed at any time, courtesy of a mobile phone device.

AllOne Health Group in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., recently introduced its secure, mobile access capability to personal health information -- AllOne Mobile. AllOne Mobile, secured through a partnership with Diversinet, places access to and control of an individual's personal health information literally in their own hands courtesy of their mobile phone device.

AllOne Mobile allows any mobile device (e.g., cell phone, PDA) to become a personal health information solution. It works with most basic phones, enhanced phones, smart phones and on all mobile platforms including Java (J2ME), BREW, Microsoft, BlackBerry and the iPhone.

Once registered, a subscriber simply downloads a program that enables ultra-secure communication with a remote server acting as a data hub (the "Vault"), storing key identification, demographic and often-used health information from the individual's PHR. The communication is secured by two-factor authentication utilizing soft tokens, the same security used by the banking industry to secure financial transactions. The Vault also can link to a variety of other health care data sets, such as insurance information, claims data, an EMR, health educational repositories, etc.
