Medical records hot sector in South Florida – Sun Sentinel

May 8, 2015 | Technology | 0 comments

Imagine if you never had to fill out another patient information form at a doctor’s office again.

That’s the promise of a new portable patient health record service developed by Boca Raton-based InfoPeHR. For $35, patients can buy a credit card-sized USB drive that can hold their records — including high-resolution medical images — for a lifetime, said InfoPeHR owner Bernard Brigonnet.

“You can be in the middle of Alaska and [doctors] are still going to be able to read all your medical information and add to it,” said Brigonnet, former research director for the Carolinas Health System and former president of Merck Serono in France.

Brigonnet is among several South Florida entrepreneurs who are developing high-tech solutions for health record storage, contributing, they hope, to less expensive health care. The companies, which include Boca Raton-based Modernizing Medicine and CareCloud in Miami, are helping to establish South Florida as a hub for health-based technological innovation.
