Healthcare Technology and News: Diversinet and Mihealth Global Systems Enter Exclusive Canadian Reseller Agreement for MobiSecure Mobile Health Solutions


Diversinet Corp., a provider of “connected and protected” mobile healthcare communications,has entered into a reseller agreement with Mihealth Global Systems, of North Bay, Ont., for distribution of Diversinet’s innovative mobile health solutions based on its patented MobiSecure platform.

Healthcare organizations today are faced with challenging priorities; they must improve services while driving unnecessary costs out of the system. At the same time, the industry must embrace the digital world while conforming to regulations that protect personal privacy. MobiSecure Health solution helps healthcare organizations improve the access and security of patient information, while giving individuals control and management of their own health information.  It offers reliable; end-to-end global, secure and cost effective solutions to mobilize personal health data.

Diversinet markets directly to the U.S. mobile health industry and Mihealth Global Systems will act as the exclusive distributor of the MobiSecure platform in Canada and as a nonexclusive distributor to the rest of the world excluding the United States.

There has been a successful trial of the MobiSecure platform and Mihealth application by the Blue Sky Family Health Team in North Bay led by Dr. Wendy Graham, who founded Mihealth Global Systems and serves as its president.

Diversinet’s MobiSecure technology capitalizes on the requirements for smart phones and tablets, and it provides reliable mobile application platforms that securely connect people with their healthcare information.

“We learned from our trial that the MobiSecure platform and applications address Canadian and worldwide needs to deliver healthcare more efficiently while improving the quality of care,” Graham commented. “Evidence is building to demonstrate the value of using information technologies for integrated primary care networks, particularly in managing chronic diseases, which are on the rise.”

“We’re looking forward to continuing our close work with Dr. Graham, who is well respected and highly-regarded as an innovator in mHealth technology applications,” stated Diversinet Chairman and CEO Albert Wahbe. “Our agreement with Mihealth Global Systems is strategic for Diversinet in two ways: Mihealth Global Systems’ commitment clearly demonstrates the value and benefits of our MobiSecure healthcare IT solutions, while it enables us to devote our full attention to expanding the market for our solutions in the U.S.”
