Promedica partners with Kaonsoft to accelerate development of new mobile healthcare apps

ProMedica, one of Ohio's largest healthcare systems, is partnering with Kaonsoft, an enterprise mobility software company, to form Kapios Health, a healthcare technology company that will focus on the development of medical applications created by ProMedica Innovations inventors.

"This new company will help fast track the creation of cutting-edge technology solutions to improve patient care," said John Pigott, MD, FACS, chief innovation officer/strategic business development, ProMedica Innovations. "Our inventors will work closely with Kapios Health developers to bring their ideas to fruition."

Kapios Health will utilize the flexible Kaonsoft Enterprise Mobility Platform™ to build and deploy healthcare applications with minimal configuration and without the additional effort or expense of custom development. Programmers will evaluate the purpose of the software, discuss pain points in healthcare practice and build an efficient workflow to enhance patient care. The completed apps will be beta tested in ProMedica facilities before being available for purchase. Additionally, ProMedica Innovations alliance partners will have the first opportunity to purchase software solutions.

"I'm thrilled to see the combination of technology and healthcare working in tandem to enable advancements in the healthcare and hospital management fields," said Daniel J. Lee, Kaonsoft chief technology officer, co-founder and Americas CEO. "Kapios Health will focus on sustained innovation for the future benefit of individuals and healthcare organizations alike."
