LifeApps(R) Digital Media, Inc. to Focus Development Efforts in
2014 on Mobile Health Care Solutions and Products
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2013) - LifeApps Digital
Media Inc. (OTCQB: LFAP) ("LifeApps"), an emerging growth company
and designer of applications ("apps"), new media, products and
next-generation social networks for sports, health, fitness and
entertainment enthusiasts is preparing to focus development efforts
in 2014 on mobile health care (mHealth) solutions and products. The
mHealth industry has now entered the commercialization phase and
will reach $26 billion globally by 2017, according to a
research2guidance global health market report.
"mHealth is about to grow rapidly in America," states Robert
Gayman, CEO of LifeApps. "Lawmakers in Congress are recognizing the
need for advanced mHealth solutions that can help reduce overall
costs and expand coverage for everyone."
The "Telehealth Enhancement Act of 2013" (H.R. 3306) calls for
Medicare home health payments to account for remote patient
monitoring and expands coverage to all critical access and sole
community hospitals, regardless of metropolitan status. The package
also covers home-based video services for hospice care, home
dialysis and homebound beneficiaries.
LifeApps is actively pursuing mHealth products and services for
2014 in conjunction with strategic partners in the fields of
diabetes, smoking cessation and obesity related chronic disease.
Products will expand on LifeApps' tutorial app platform with
enhanced feature sets and advanced interactivity.
"In the case of diabetes care, the number of cases in America is
staggering with one in twelve Americans diagnosed with diabetes and
another 79 million having prediabetes," states Gayman. "According
to lung.org cigarette smoking is the number one cause of
preventable disease and death worldwide and results in $96 billion
in direct health care expenditures in the U.S alone. The CDC stated
that overall medical care costs related to obesity in the U.S. were
as high as $147 billion in 2008. LifeApps recognizes the need for
advanced mHealth systems for continued patient care in these
critical avenues. mHealth tools will improve positive patient
outcomes and help to reduce health care costs overall. LifeApps is
founded on the promise that healthy lifestyles aided with advanced
technology can lead to better health and reduced costs for care,"
says Gayman.
LifeApps has a history of working with medical professionals in
creating healthy lifestyle mobile apps such as the highly rated
MDWorkout® application.
