(OTCQB:PRLX) ("Parallax" or the "Company"), an outcomes-driven connected healthcare company, announces an agreement whereby its wholly-owned subsidiary Parallax Communications, Inc. ("PCOM") will integrate its connected health platform into EZ Waiting Room's app. The free EZ Waiting Room app offers entertainment and educational content to patients in more than 175,000 physician waiting rooms and retail pharmacies. More than 330,000 doctors in the EZ Waiting Room network will be able to direct patients to monitor their treatments through the PCOM connected health platform.
"EZ Waiting Room has relationships with a large and growing network of healthcare providers, and the integration of our platform into their app offers a precise mechanism for physicians to engage with their patients through our remote patient monitoring and outcomes optimization platforms," said Paul Arena, Chief Executive Officer of Parallax Health Sciences, Inc. "EZ Waiting Room provides patients with hygienic, high-quality entertainment and educational programming, and we are delighted to enter into this agreement with them."
The partnership will generate revenue from patient subscriptions to Parallax's connected health platforms that originate through digital, mobile, physical and physician recommendationsduring point and moment of care. Working together, Parallax and EZ Waiting Room will offer healthcare providers the ability to incorporate a digital mobile connection with their patients to monitor treatmentcompliance and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
"The decision to partner with Parallax was simple because the future of healthcare is creating meaningful connections between physicians and patients outside the office visit," says Edward Young, Chief Executive Officer of EZ Waiting Room, LLC. "Their PCOM app builds upon our work upgrading the patient experience in the waiting room, extending the connection between doctors and patients outside of the traditional setting."
Over the past decade, EZ Waiting Room and its affiliate partners have developed a secure network of more than 175,000 physician offices and retail pharmacies that allows healthcare providers to promotevisibility for the medical products they use in their practices. EZ waiting room has created educational campaigns that improve outcomes by connecting patients to reliable healthcare products recommended by their physicians.
The RUSH Act, a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in July 2018, provides reimbursement to physicians of approximately $90 per Medicare patient for providing initial telehealth and monitoring services and reimbursement of $42 per Medicare patient per month for reviewing the patient data. Passage of the bill would provide these services for all the roughly 60 million Americans covered by Medicare.
