On April 26, 2012 applepeak's Wellness Record received a Silver Edison Award in the Lifestyle & Social Impact category. Being recognized with an Edison Award has become one of the highest accolades a company can receive in the name of innovation and business. The awards are named after Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) whose inventions, new product development methods and innovative achievements literally changed the world, garnered him 1,093 U.S. patents, and made him a household name.
The Wellness Record enables organizations to improve the outcomes of their health and wellness initiatives and yield positive returns through a combination of evidence based e-health content, online health risk assessments, informational resources, flexible e-learning technologies, health management tools, and professional oversight/support services. It's an innovative platform that gives individuals private, personalized online wellness resources to manage their health including interactive health tools, certified medical content, fitness and medical device integration, health trackers, goal-setting tools, clinical monitoring, and program-based social media.
Biosign will now integrate features from the Wellness Record into our next iteration of Healthanywhere™. The total license fee of $175,000 was satisfied with the issuance of 3.5 million common shares of Biosign at $0.05/share. The transaction is subject to board & TSX approval, and all securities issued are subject to a hold period of 4 months and 1 day, plus further agreed-upon restrictions on selling over a period of 24 months.
