The former company, ICUcare LLC was formed in August of 2008 with but one mission; bring about change in the nation’s Health Care System to the benefit of patients, care givers and the industry itself. On July 15th, 2009, ICUcare LLC completed the development of the first generation of three planned product lines, My eMHR, a Personal Health Records cloud-based system. In February 2010, the company completed their work with the second of the planned solutions, eDoc® Telemedicine/EHR. Finally, in April of 2010, the company completed their work with the third of its planned software applications, the eDoc® Physicians Web Portal. (Renamed eDoc-on-call as part of the rebranding)
The company deployed its first beta test unit of the eDoc® Telemedicine/EHR Mobile Cart Solution in the NICU Unit of the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in May of 2010. The following month, ICUcare LLC attended and debuted their integrated Medical Records based Telemedicine Solution at the ATA Show in San Antonio. The President of the ATA, Dr. Jay H Sanders, visited the booth and remarked, “that he was glad to see that someone had finally put the “Medicine” with the “Tele”, an obvious reference to the fact that the Telemedicine Industry itself had never been more than a video (Skype) based form of communication between two distant physicians.
In early 2012, the management of ICUcare LLC in association with the original owner of the intellectual technology decided to create Global Care International. Inc. (an S-Corp) in order to beta test the company’s product offerings offshore. In March of 2012, Global Care International, deployed its first eDoc® Telemedicine/EHR Mobile Cart Solution at the Keffi Hospital, in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. That soon followed with other deployments in Lagos and Abuja Nigeria, Accra, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Kenya. In 2013, Global Care formed a partnership with SPI of Brazil to market its technology for the purposes of further beta testing to South American Markets. After completing all development activities associated with “localizing” the platforms, the new technology was successfully deployed at three locations in San Paulo and surrounding communities. The company was beginning to demonstrate the potential for this new revolutionary and disruptive technology and at the same time was getting invaluable experience and supporting data as to the performance of the technologies, both hardware and software. Every deployment to date has been useful in demonstrating the performance and usefulness of the technology while also contributing to insights into possible improvements and upgrades.
In September of 2012, ICUcare decided that with the Meaningful Use Incentive Program Certification Program window quickly closing, (March 30th, 2013), the company needed to put everything, including marketing and sales generation on hold and concentrate on completing the work as required to get the eDoc® Telemedicine/EHR and supporting platforms “Certified”. The company contracted with ICSA Laboratory in October of 2012 and completed all certification activities on March 25th, 2013. As such, ICUcare LLC became the first North American company to have received Certification for Meaningful Use of a medical records platform that was capable of conducting eHealth/Telemedicine. As of this date, to our knowledge, no other company in the world possess a “Certified” Telemedicine/EHR medical records system.
In October of 2013, the company debuted it’s second generation of its newly enhanced My eMHR web site and value added Personal Health Records solution. There are “four” revolutionary technology solutions included in the newly revamped and redeveloped My eMHR (PHR). This development completes the vision from which the My eMHR was originally conceived, a comprehensive, interoperable, longitudinal personal health records based system in the form of a Health Information Exchange (HIE). (See Attached News Released) This also added an all-important Patent involving “interoperability” to its growing IP portfolio.
Global Care International’s South American partner, SPI successfully negotiated a contract with the FIFA whereby the company’s technology was utilized in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Games in Brazil. ICUcare’s technology platform was implemented at eighteen (18) stadiums and seven (7) supporting hospital systems throughout Brazil providing on demand medical services on behalf of the FIFA. This marks the first-time eHealth/Telemedicine has been utilized in such a venue.
ICUcare has created several Distribution Agreements in the US in support of our roll-out. In October of 2014, ICUcare joined forces with MTI, a major IT Federal Contractor located in Washington DC. This company brings thirty-years (30) of successfully negotiating and handling IT related contracts for many of the nation’s federal agencies including; US Navy, Army, Air Force, Cost Guard, DOD, HHS, CMS and VA.
ICUcare LLC recently (August 1, 2016) signed a definitive agreement with Creative Medical Solutions out of Atlanta for the Distribution of the company’s “My Home eHealth Monitoring” platform. CMI manufactures a line of FDA approved Home/Clinical Medical Diagnostics. CMI markets a “packaged solution” to include ICUcare’s software platforms and associated APP’s with their hardware in order to provide a tune-key integrated system to their customers. The ability of ISeeYouyCare’s system to take their patient data, integrate it back into our platform and then “make it available” to disparate operating systems (EHR) is of substantial benefit to CMI. From ICUcare’s standpoint, having one company from which to purchase medical devices from using the same software interface is of substantial benefit.
