NASA Joins 30,000+ Other Rural and Urban Doctors Who Connect with Colleagues and
Patients, Improve Efficiency and Enhance Patient Care
PORTLAND, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
Rather thanlook for complicated technology solutions to solve its healthcare
challenges, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space
Medicine Division has turned to Kryptiq`s technology to bring online
collaboration to its healthcare practitioners. NASA flight surgeons are using
Kryptiq`s Connect IQ suite to digitally send and share health data with their
colleagues and patients. With more streamlined, efficient collaboration, this
also reduces operational costs and making its remote data capture more
coordinated and secure. 

Connect IQ allows physicians to communicate online with colleagues and patients,
whether a doctor has a small practice in rural Missouri or in Houston Space
Medicine Division offices. In use by a network of more than 30,000 physicians,
the technology includes familiar, Internet-based technologies such as secure
messaging and online patient portals. 

Connect IQ removes the need to rely on inefficient paper- or phone-based
communications to share health information. Instead, Connect IQ improves patient
care with online collaboration and more mobile and secure health data. For
example, Connect IQ permits the electronic transfer of exam test results,
referrals and consultation reports between other surgeons and external
consulting physicians, and communicates with patients online to provide more
coordinated care and avoid unnecessary visits. 

In a global, multi-faceted organization, data mobility and collaboration is
crucial for the success of the health program. Kryptiq`s secure solution solves
challenges of communicating information to colleagues and partners, which
include international organizations such as the Russian Federal Space Agency
(RSA). 

"The industry doesn`t need a moonshot to bring collaboration and efficiency to
healthcare," said Luis Machuca, president and CEO of Kryptiq Corp. "Instead,
we`re providing intelligent solutions that solve physicians` real world problems
and connect them with colleagues and patients online. Today, physicians across
the country can use the same technology as NASA. This proves that we don`t need
to overhaul healthcare to get the industry online or working more efficiently."
