2011 Operational Highlights

• Based on the strong results from the Mihealth™ pilot program with its subscription based patient health record (PHR) system, Diversinet began 2011 by signing a five-year, $5 million Canadian reseller agreement with Mihealth Global Systems, Inc. for its MobiSecure® platform. This relationship enabled Diversinet to focus on the large opportunities in the U.S.
  
  
  
  
• In March, Diversinet released a Clinical Communicator application, which incorporates the power and unique functionality of its field-proven MobiSecure Publisher and MobiSecure SMS. Clinical Communicator enables physicians, nurses and other clinicians to communicate securely with their patients via mobile devices and tablets.
  
  
  
  
• Another successful pilot program led Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development to license MobiSecure.  This deployment involved new features developed for consumer interaction, which demonstrated how MobiSecure's turnkey capability can provide full customization without undergoing extensive product development and testing, and while also maintaining feature flexibility, security and customer branding.
  
  
  
  
• In September, the U.S. Army's Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center renewed its annual contract with Diversinet to support the Army's mCare telehealth outreach program.  The program was established for members of the military recovering from mild traumatic brain injuries and other wounds.  The mCare mobile health application, powered by MobiSecure, also received the '2010 Army Greatest Inventions Award,' representing the most innovative advances in Army technology.
  
  
  
  
• Diversinet enhanced its intellectual property portfolio with the award of a U.S. patent for an encryption method that addresses growing concerns about protecting sensitive personal data stored on a mobile device. This technology prevents unauthorized access to data via encryption and protects information if it is transferred to another mobile device.
  
  
  
  
• In December, Diversinet reached an important milestone in an extensive security validation process for the cryptographic modules used by its MobiSecure® mHealth application, with a formal listing in the "Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS) 140-2" publication. This listing is critical for government agencies, medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies that require absolute security in safeguarding personal health information.

In February 2012, the company's board of directors appointed Hon Pak CEO, succeeding Albert Wahbe.  The board believes his leadership will continue to be important to Diversinet's success in the healthcare marketplace.

"As the mHealth market continues to evolve in 2012, we remain focused on the key elements of our mobile health strategy, which include introducing new products and product enhancements, creating customized portals to support mobile health applications, and expanding our network of healthcare partners and infield deployments," said Pak. "I believe that healthcare is becoming unsustainable, and changes are now in place that will impact the landscape of how healthcare will be delivered.  We believe that by focusing on care coordination through mobility, our products can help coordinate and manage all of a patient's care."
