ImageWare® to Showcase the FDA-Cleared Pillphone® Application for Patient Engagement and Medication Adherence Using Biometric Authentication at AHIP 2018

The Company Will Also Show GoverifyID®, a Multi-Factor Biometric Authentication and Secure Clinical Communications Solution for the Healthcare Industry

SAN DIEGO, June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ImageWare Systems, Inc. (OTCQB:IWSY), a leader in mobile and cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management solutions, today announced it will debut the enterprise level pillphone®, which supports medication adherence and patient engagement, at the America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Institute & Expo 2018.

As a sponsor of AHIP 2018, ImageWare will demonstrate these solutions at booth 433 located in the San Diego Convention Center on June 20-22, 2018.

“The pillphone is the only FDA-cleared mobile application for medication reminders and information exchange over a wireless device. Our communication platform connects and supports healthcare providers, family caregivers, and patients when they are outside of the medical facility. It streamlines workflows and improves care team communication and collaboration with patients by offering personalized, two-way interactive, secure messaging and real-time remote medication monitoring,” stated Tom Evangelisti, Director of Digital Health, ImageWare Systems.

“Our patients have attested that the pillphone helps them to adhere to their medication regimens and enhances their relationship with their doctors,” said Dr. Michael Welch, M.D., a board-certified specialist in allergy and immunology, co-director of the Allergy and Asthma Medical Group and Research Center in San Diego, and Clinical Professor at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. 

ImageWare’s GoVerifyID can easily add biometric user authentication to healthcare systems, EHR applications, electronic prescription systems, and clinical environments.  ImageWare provides biometric user authentication for the largest integrated healthcare system in the USA.**

“Over a million patient records were exposed by 110 healthcare data breaches in Q1 2018* alone.  ImageWare’s GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite product mitigates the risk of such devastating infringements that can put patients’ health at risk,” stated Jim Miller, Chairman & CEO of ImageWare.  “We are excited to showcase our solutions at AHIP 2018 and look forward to helping healthcare organizations and EHR vendors quickly and easily deploy the ultimate in biometric security and convenience for their infrastructure and applications.”
