LifeNexus Partners With TxVia to Process Payments on the Personal Health Card

BROOMFIELD, Colo. and NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LifeNexus, Inc., the developer of the iChip™ and Personal Health Card®, and TxVia, Inc., a pioneer in processing technology for prepaid cards and emerging payments, today announced the selection of TxVia as LifeNexus's processor. The LifeNexus Personal Health Card is the first multi- purpose electronic health card utilizing the embedded iChip for securely maintaining an individual's personal health record and incorporates a payment card option.

TxVia will provide processing and supporting services for the LifeNexus MasterCard prepaid component of the Personal Health Card. TxVia brings extensive electronic payment experience to the relationship. "LifeNexus has a unique vision for healthcare, that affords compelling security, portability and convenience to users," said Anil D. Aggarwal, TxVia's CEO. "We're excited to support this innovation."

The LifeNexus Personal Health Card was designed to securely maintain an individual's Personal Health Record (PHR) on a card in their wallet. The patented iChip™, (Individually Controlled Health Information Platform™), utilizes "mobile server" technology embedded on a chip card which is both encrypted and password-protected, providing a highly secure environment to store comprehensive health information for individuals and their family members.

Hugh Meadows, President of the LifeNexus Payment Card Group said "TxVia is an ideal partner as we create a platform for consumers to take control of their personal health records, with an option to have it on a payment card. An individual's information stays in their wallet, not on a web-based server. This eliminates consumer concerns about storing sensitive data with unrelated third parties, supporting the adoption of electronic medical records by their health care providers."
