IDentoMetric Solutions, L.L.C.
COMPANY INFORMATION
Chance events made us realize the importance
of personal recordkeeping. They also brought the three founders of
what has become IDentoMetric Solutions, L.L.C. together to create
Lifelong Personal Health Record (LPHR) and the business to support it
and other personal data products.
Two of us met at a conference held by the
United Nations in New York City in June 2007. We discovered that
we had a lot in common with distinguished careers and consulting for
AT&T, Verizon, IBM, Ernst & Young, US Steel and others. We
investigated consulting opportunities in data security and relationships
with several other engineering and management professionals. Then
healthcare caught our attention through personal experiences with all
the waste and complexity.
One thing led to another. Taking
market research and encouragement from friends and family, we prepared a
business plan based upon a Continuous Improvement Model. We
created a crude working prototype by March 2009. All we needed was
a professional software developer to make it happen. He turned out
to be a longtime friend and neighbor with an established software
development business.
By September 2009, we registered the
business. Since then we have collected feedback, polished the
product and build Internet based systems to manage the software
marketing, sales, delivery and customer service operations.
We are currently seeking others interested
in helping us grow the business and expand our product offerings.
We have planned enhancements and see many opportunities for others to
work with us. We periodically update our business plan as we find
more uses for LPHR that include charitable fundraisers and employee wellness and
disease management programs.

Reflections
Someone who has lived long enough to
look back over an extended time soon realizes how easy it can
be for positives to turn negative and vice versa.
Consider the weather. One day is
warm and sunny and the next day it clouds over and a tornado or
hurricane roars through and people are caught in flash floods and
drown in their beds. Seeing things on television has a
profound enough affect, but being there and experiencing things
firsthand with the wind howling, trying to rip off clothing, making
rain penetrate to every patch of skin and then standing and
assessing damage, that's what really has an impact especially when
you learn about people who died right where you are standing.
For the lucky survivors who have lost
everything, consider what they must do to rebuild their lives,
substantiate insurance claims and even talk intelligently with
doctors without memory joggers. When you realize that no one
saves everything that may be needed, it becomes evident that each one
of us must take responsibility and at least keep a summary of
what would be needed.
Think of people like me who have had a
doctor retire or go out of business and leave patients with little
or no records. Now you have a little idea why IDentoMetric
Solutions created Lifelong Personal Health Record software.
After learning what is involved, and that even minor inconveniences
can be disruptive and difficult to resolve, we knew that not everyone would
want to do what we found we needed to do to help ourselves.
We want others to benefit from what we
have learned and accomplished, It is a legacy we want to leave
our children and grandchildren. We discovered more recently
that the increasing complexity of life and healthcare in particular
makes recordkeeping and personal life management ever more
essential. |
