Demo of First-of-Its-Kind CarePass Mobile Technology to Highlight Consumer
Empowerment
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
Technology innovator Allviant, Corp. announced today that Jared Crapo, a company
co-founder, is scheduled to present at this week`s Health 2.0 Conference in San
Francisco. Selected as one of only ten companies to be on stage during the
historically standing-room-only "Launch" session on October 7th, Allviant will
introduce its CarePass technology, the first un-tethered, smart technology that
provides an integrated healthcare consumer experience by putting the consumer in
the center, and in charge, of their own service relationship universe. 

In 2007, Consumer Reports examined top consumer healthcare complaints and
discovered that the key issues were related to customer service as opposed to
care. The chief criticisms included wait times, appointment availability, test
result notification and phone response. To fulfill that customer experience gap,
Allviant developed its Service Relationship Management (SRM) platform to put
people in control of their healthcare relationships by connecting and sensibly
integrating multiple relationships for relevant, on-the-fly information and
action. 

CarePass, the first service to be introduced on Allviant`s SRM platform,
includes capabilities such as remote appointment check-in, preventive reminders
like flu / H1N1 vaccinations, health savings account and benefit status,
corporate wellness program prompts and registration, plus an array of other
information. The result is unification of unrelated communications and
transactions from numerous service providers and ongoing encouragement for
consumers to take appropriate actions - all according to a consumer`s unique
communications preferences. 

The patent-pending, cloud-hosted CarePass technology benefits consumers by
delivering two-way information and actions through whatever channels or
combinations they wish - phone, email, and text messaging - without reliance on
a destination website or application. Allviant`s CarePass technology also
enables employers, payors and other service providers to better target and
communicate with their populations while protecting, and enhancing, their brand.


"Consumers have come to expect simple, convenient ways of managing so many
things in their lives. Healthcare just hasn`t gotten there yet. More and more,
the responsibility of healthcare - both in cost and in action - is being driven
down to the consumer, yet there just haven`t been the tools available to make
the `system` as simple and understandable as modern-day financial management,"
said Crapo. "Imagine how many more people would proactively manage their
healthcare if it was quick, easy and convenient. That truly is the key to
health." 

About Allviant

Allviant is the developer of the first-ever, consumer-centric tools and network
for healthcare called CarePass. CarePass is a technology-enabled service that
gives consumers a new method of access, convenience and control by connecting
existing healthcare information systems and administrative data though a
personally-defined set of communication mediums and methods - from phone to text
to email or fax. The opposite of customer relationship management (CRM), this
Service Relationship Management technology empowers the customer to determine
when and how they want to interact with service providers across their unique
array of relationships, making a disconnected healthcare world painless and
saving time, money and frustration for everyone. For more information, please
