MedeFile a leader in portable electronic medical records management, appeared December 18, 2010, on Fox-affiliated WFLX-TV, the Fox-affiliated television station for West Palm Beach, and the Gold and Treasure Coasts of South Florida.

The feature story highlights ground-breaking technologies and tools designed to digitize medical records.  Individuals who manage their own Personal Health Records are better protected from inconsistent and insufficient care within the medical industry.

As a leader in Personal Health Records technology and service, MedeFile was chosen to be featured on WFLX-TV “Eye on South Florida” with Fox News Anchor Suzanne Boyd.  The segment included an interview with MedeFile CEO, Kevin Hauser, two private-duty nurses, and a MedeFile customer. They discuss the history of MedeFile, as well as educate viewers on the importance personal electronic medical records management has in the health-care industry.
