LAS VEGAS, Feb. 21, 2012
/PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Enterprise Solutions, Motorola
Mobility Inc. and BoxTone are collaborating to develop a
comprehensive mobile solution to help satisfy the unique security,
reliability and usability requirements of the health care industry.
By providing health care practitioners with secure mobile devices
and apps, patient care can be improved through the sharing of
clinical data in near-real time to help speed decision making and
control costs.
The jointly created offering leverages BoxTone's automated
Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) software platform on select
Motorola devices, such as the DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX
smartphones, as well as DROID XYBOARD 10.1 and 8.2 tablets, all of
which tap the power of the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network.
Health care organizations can now reliably deploy Android-based
mobile devices and apps that are designed to help them meet strict
compliance requirements, including privacy measures outlined in the
Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of
1996.
This comprehensive solution from three leaders in mobile health
proactively addresses mobile security and privacy by incorporating
a new layer of data protection with automated mobile device and
application management, thereby helping to enable widespread
Android adoption in health care. Motorola Mobility and
BoxTone are both Verizon Business Solutions Alliance partners.
"This solution underscores the important role mobility is
playing in transforming health care," said Dr. Peter Tippett, vice president and chief medical
officer, Verizon Connected Healthcare Solutions, the company's
health IT practice group that is part of Verizon Enterprise
Solutions. "Mobile devices and health care apps represent one
of the biggest IT opportunities of the decade to improve and
transform care delivery. Working with Motorola Mobility and
BoxTone, we have brought together complementary capabilities to
create an easy-to-deploy and manage mobility solution for our
health care customers."
Motorola Mobility smartphones are well-suited for health care
environments, incorporating coatings of water-repellent
nanoparticles, brilliant displays using Corning® Gorilla® Glass for
scratch-resistance, and innovative materials for strength such as
KEVLAR® fiber for DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX. Easy to
slip into a lab coat pocket, the smartphones and tablets also
feature pre-loaded Citrix® software for access to electronic
medical records, 3LM software for embedded device security and the
BoxTone EMM software for automated lifecycle management.
Christy Wyatt, senior vice
president and general manager of Motorola Mobility's enterprise
business unit, said: "Mobile technology has the potential to
bring greater efficiencies and more robust capabilities to the
health care industry. The combination of Motorola devices
with BoxTone's software solution and Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE
network can significantly enhance health care providers' ability to
deliver enhanced care to patients."
BoxTone's automated EMM platform provides high levels of service
and security at a low cost and risk for health care organizations.
BoxTone's full lifecycle EMM platform incorporates enterprise-grade
mobile device management for automated provisioning, security
configuration, compliance monitoring and enforcement, change
management, and retirement. It also includes mobile support
management for remote service-desk support through real-time views
into mobile status, automated diagnostics, embedded knowledgebase
and click-to-fix, as well as mobile operations management for
continuous real-time service monitoring, proactive alerting and
system tuning.
"Working with Verizon and Motorola Mobility, we have developed a
comprehensive solution to securely deploy, manage, monitor and
support the Android-based mobilization of health care," said
Alan Snyder, chief executive officer
of BoxTone. "When smartphones, tablets and mobile apps are securely
and reliably managed centrally, health care organizations gain the
freedom to deliver significant point-of-care enhancements and
increased patient satisfaction."

this health care mobility solution in the Verizon booth (#2463) at
