Life:WIRE to Support the Essette Application with Interactive Text & E-Mail Messaging Services that Improves Patient Engagement Levels
Toronto/ Palo Alto, CA - October 20, 2009 – Gaudette International, a technology solutions provider, announced today that they have partnered with Life: WIRE® Corp to offer its dynamic communication platform as part of the “Essette” care management software application. Already known as a best-in-class software application, Essette will now support interactive text messaging and e-mail communications for its health plan and other clients.
Andy Gaudette, of Gaudette notes “We are excited about enhancing Essette’s dynamic platform with Life:WIRE’s health management solution to find new ways to help our clients engage individuals and population groups that will generate better clinical and financial outcome. With the increased use of text messaging in the United States, for example, Life:WIRE’s ability to run on and turn any cell phone into an interactive health management tool without any addition software creates an important opportunity for case managers to stay in touch with their patients.”
Essette has been developed with web-based software within Microsoft’s ASP.Net framework that can be customized and configured to meet the needs of medical management programs. Gaudette International applications, like Essette, are simple to use and inexpensive compared to others in the industry.
Howard Rosen, MBA, CEO of Life:WIRE adds that “I am looking forward to working with Gaudette International to optimize Life:WIRE’s interactive mobile platform within Essette. Life:WIRE is designed to easily integrate into a user’s daily routine to keep the content of the messages fresh and engaging. As a result, individuals can use, or providers and case managers can direct, text messaging or e-mail based interactions which are customized to track, monitor and engage users to improve their health status or achieve other important health goals.”
Life:WIRE is an ‘off the shelf’ HIPPA-compliant solution that uses an individual or patient’s own cell phone and e-mails, along with a web-enabled interface, to program, customize , monitor and analyze results. In the coming months, Life:WIRE will be extending its reach to other communication portals such as leveraging social networking to promote population-based medical management programs.
