SoloHealth Selected as Finalist for the Intel Innovation Award
Winner to be Named at the 2011 Health IT Leadership Summit on Nov. 8
I’m thrilled to announce SoloHealth has been selected as one of four finalists for the inaugural Intel Innovation Award, which recognizes health IT companies that are using technology in innovative ways, garnering strong clinical and financial benefits, or finding new ways to address specific disease states and health issues. Each of the four finalists will be featured and the winner announced and recognized by a top executive from Intel during the 2011 Health IT Leadership Summit on Nov. 8 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The press release, which was issued today, can be read on TAGThink.com.
At SoloHealth, our goal is to utilize technology to benefit consumers, health and wellness businesses, and our nation’s healthcare system. Our next-generation health and wellness kiosk, the SoloHealth Station, is our primary means of doing so.
The SoloHealth Station is a self-service interactive healthcare kiosk offering vision, blood pressure, weight, and body mass index screenings; an overall health assessment and recommendations; and access to a database of local doctors.
The kiosks were designed to make consumers’ access to essential, core health screenings free and easy, helping to educate and bring awareness to health and wellness so they can take action. This is especially crucial for the millions of Americans who do not regularly get professional health screenings because of financial concerns, time constraints, or other reasons.
We will have the SoloHealth Station on display during the Summit and encourage you to stop by and test it out. As you probably know, the Summit ranks as one of the nation’s premier health IT events. In 2010, more than 500 industry movers and shakers attended the Summit, representing more than 110 leading health IT companies. The 2011 event is expected to draw even more participants.
We hope to see you there. And for all those in the industry, let’s keep pushing it forward and make it happen!
