"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 information, visit the
PrimeCare corporate web site at pcare.com and YourOwnHealth.com at
