medvid.io Brings the Power of Secure Video Sharing to Any Medical Software -- Cloud-based Platform Now Available for Commercial Use

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ReelDx, Inc. announced today the commercial availability of its medvid.io HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based, video management platform. medvid.io was released at last year's HIMSS conference in Chicago under a closed beta program.

Video sharing promises to dramatically improve provider-patient communications. medvid.io allows any medical software developer, including health plans with mobile apps, to easily offer a full featured, HIPAA-compliant video creation, storage, and sharing capability. This adds a powerful new method of recording and reviewing key information from discharge instructions, patient education, between visit check-ins, and dozens of other high value use cases.

"Improving patient engagement, recall, and adherence through shared video is powerful," said Dr. Dave Spiro, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of ReelDx. "medvid.io will help in patient satisfaction, adherence, provider productivity, and support patients can receive from their families and extended care teams."

During the beta program, over 180 companies received access to medvid.io. Here are brief vignettes of three of these companies and their use of video in their own software:

Twistle (www.twistle.com): Twistle helps providers keep their patients on track for good outcomes by automatically sending timely messages, nudges, surveys, and targeted multimedia content, and notifying clinicians when patients need personal attention. Twistle leverages medvid.io capabilities to be able to capture and send videos.

Insta Aide (www.InstaAide.com): Insta Aide gives therapists a secure web and mobile application to elevate clinical performance and save valuable time by tracking outcome measurements, patient feedback, and compliance automatically. Insta Aide features custom video programing delivered to patients in a fun, user-friendly interface, powered by medvid.io.

Mavencare (www.mavencare.com): Mavencare's home care app uses medvid.io's secure video capabilities to connect families, caregivers, and healthcare staff. The use of video facilitates greater levels of transparency and coordination to ensure the best possible care for their clients.

"medvid.io has given us confidence that our customers can provide the highest quality HIPAA-compliant video programing to their patients," said Micah Hogan, Founder and CEO of Insta Aide. "Now we can focus on our business, not our back end."

medvid.io key features include:

• manage video in any format
• files encrypted in transit and in storage
• video transcoded and streamed using adaptive bitrate streaming to ensure high quality playback with any device or bandwidth
• user-level security federates automatically with any user management system ensuring content is accessible only to authorized users

medvid.io pricing meets any need. 10GB of monthly storage is always free. Then there are modest charges per GB uploaded, stored, and streamed. A one minute, 720p video could cost less than $0.10 to upload, store for several months, and view multiple times.

Developers can preview the medvid.io APIs at https://dev.medvid.io, and can register for free at www.medvid.io. Developers can build applications, utilize the highly interactive documentation, and gain access to a growing set of open source software for immediate deployment.
