"We are very excited to have signed a partnership agreement with
PrimeCare. Our members will greatly benefit from the easy-to-use
interactive content from PrimeCare. We believe the greatest asset
anyone can have is his or her health. By partnering with PrimeCare, our
millions of members and visitors will be able to safeguard their health,"
said Ian S. Simpson, CEO and co-founder of LanguageForce,
GoToWorld's parent company.
Marriott Winchester, Vice President of PrimeCare stated, "As the fastest
growing Portal on the Internet today, GoToWorld has the ability to
deliver the high quality traffic that will increase the reach of our unique
YourOwnHealth interactive medical questionnaires. We look forward to
working with GoToWorld to develop a strong co-branded service.
YourOwnHealth is a free site for the consumer. Revenues are generated
through targeted advertising. The interactive content on YourOwnHealth
has shown that the average visitor spends eight minutes on the site and
views an average of 25 pages. This agreement with GoToWorld helps to
ensure our success in providing our advertisers with high quality
focused traffic."
YourOwnHealth enables consumers to select and complete detailed
medical history questionnaires that relate to specific medical complaints
and receive a detailed report, which contains possible diagnoses and the
pertinent positive and negative responses that support each diagnostic
consideration. This unique software enables users to securely and
anonymously select general health history or problem-specific
questionnaires from a comprehensive list. These problem-specific
questionnaires cover most common medical conditions (for example,
abdominal pain, back pain, chest pain, headaches, etc.). Consumers can
view and answer the questionnaires in either English or Spanish from
the comfort of their home or office. The easy-to-understand formats have
been proven in clinical use for the past 10 years in a variety of medical
settings. Medical data is encrypted for storage and Internet
communications use secure digital certificates from VeriSign to protect
the confidentiality rights of every consumer user.
GoToWorld.com has become the fastest growing search portal in the
world, thanks to its meta search engine, rich content and unique
revenue-sharing arrangement with its members. GoToWorld.com
members are paid by the hour while they are surfing the Web using the
GoToWorld.com browser; in addition, each member earns a referral fee
for each hour his or her referrals surf the Internet. The referral system
extends for three levels, with no limit on the total number of referrals
possible. GoToWorld.com is able to pay its members because
advertising revenue is shared with users when they view banner ads.
GoToWorld.com is owned by LanguageForce, Inc., the inventors of the
Universal Translator(R). Its global communications super portal
GoToWorld.com, powered by its proprietary Universal Translator
technology, expresses the corporate mission "One World-One
Language." Founded in 1996, the company is privately owned and
headquartered at 1601 East Lincoln Avenue, Orange, California.
OCGT, a publicly traded corporation with an extensive and specific
commitment to healthcare software and informatics technology, is the
parent company of PrimeCare Systems, Inc., the creator and operator of
YourOwnHealth. Since the origin of its technology in 1986, PrimeCare
has been the leading developer of patient interactive medical
management software. The focus of PrimeCare's work is the complete
documentation of patient/physician interaction in an outpatient setting,
leading to creation of an electronic record of the patient/physician
encounter. Although patients are the key to their medical history, they are
often the least involved participants in their own healthcare.
PrimeCare's products, YourOwnHealth(TM),
PrimeCare-on-the-Web(TM) and PrimeCare(TM) Patient Management
System, actively involve patients in their own healthcare. For more
