ABSTRACT

During a one-year pilot beginning in August 2009 and under a five-year contract since then for an expanding formal program, Diversinet'sMobiSecure Health application platform has supported the Army's mCare program, a two-way secure messaging application serving soldiers with mild traumatic brain injuries. In addition to safeguarding all patient health data, mCare meets a key program requirement of availability across the very broad assortment of soldiers' mobile phones. As a result, soldiers have made it more of a priority to keep appointments and provide valuable feedback on their health. Results of a survey presented by TATRC in July 2011 at the Healthcare Unbound conference showed that on a scale of one to 10, nearly 60 percent of respondents ranked mCare's ability to improve their CBWTU experience from eight to 10.
