Company’s new location-based mobile business application among top three “emerging technologies” in enterprise healthcare
MINNEAPOLIS — Apr. 1, 2009 — Gearworks, a leading provider of location-based mobile business applications, today announced its OnCare by Gearworks™ mobile application was named a finalist in the 4th Annual CTIA Emerging Technology “E-Tech” Awards.
OnCare by Gearworks™ is a location-based mobile business application specifically designed to enable home healthcare and hospice organizations to increase productivity, ensure compliance and improve patient outcomes. Developed using Gearworks' Appmosphere™ mobile application delivery platform, OnCare optimizes the management of care providers in the field and allows organizations to focus on delivering quality patient care.
“It’s gratifying to have our new OnCare by Gearworks mobile application recognized as a finalist for this prestigious industry award,” said Todd Krautkremer, president and chief executive officer for Gearworks. “The home healthcare and hospice industry is facing significant growth, a scarcity of skilled labor and increased governmental and private insurance reporting and regulation. These factors create an imperative for agencies to deploy solutions like OnCare to increase the efficiency of their mobile care providers while reducing expenses and improving visit documentation and compliance.”
OnCare by Gearworks is an on-demand, Web and mobile application solution deployable across leading wireless carrier networks and mobile devices, including feature phones, smartphones and PDAs.
