Greater Than One Wins the Vision Award at 25th Annual Mannys

NEW YORK, April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Greater Than One, an independent, fully integrated branding and digital communications company, won the 2014 Vision Award at the 25^th Annual Med Ad News Manny Awards Ceremony, held at Chelsea Piers in New York City on April 24, 2014.

The Vision Award is given by the Med Ad News editorial staff for the idea, concept, or initiative launched in the previous year that best exemplifies the healthcare communications agency of the future, holds the greatest potential to transform the industry in a positive way, and represents the most interesting and insightful step forward of the year.

Greater Than One received the Vision Award for GTO LifeLine, an innovative interactive visual format for patient education.

GTO LifeLine combines a predictive modeling protocol created at GTO Labs with the BioDigital Human™, an interactive Web-based platform that brings to life human anatomy and health conditions in a virtual 3-D body.
