Last week MMR introduced its new Blog re-designed to make it easier to communicate with you. This week the Company will begin an expanded social networking effort to educate readers on the importance of having a personal health record. As a result of these blogs and our social networking campaigns many of you have contacted me for more information about who I am and what I have done. So I hope this short excerpt helps…………

Robert H. “Bob” Lorsch is a Los Angeles businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He founded MyMedicalRecords, Inc. in 2005, leading the company through a merger with the biotechnology company Favrille, Inc., which was completed in January 2009 to become MMR Information Systems, Inc. (MMRF). The Company plans on formerly becoming MMRGlobal after its annual meeting this June.

Mr. Lorsch continues to serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the public company, a provider of secure, easy-to-use consumer-controlled Personal Health Records (PHRs), www.mymedicalrecords.com, and electronic safe deposit box storage solutions, www.myesafedepositbox.com, that enable individuals and families to easily manage and access all their medical records and other important documents, whether paper-based or digital, in one secure online location.

The company’s newest product, MMRPro (www.mymedicalrecordsmd.com), distributed in conjunction with Kodak’s document imaging reseller organization, is designed to give physicians a cost-effective solution to digitizing patient charts while providing patients real time access to their medical records through an integrated PHR (www.mymedicalrecordsonline.com/videos).

Mr. Lorsch steered the development of the MyMedicalRecords PHR built on proprietary, patented technologies to bring an integrated communications platform to healthcare technology: MyMedicalRecords.com uses fax, phone, and file upload to transmit and store documents, images and voicemail messages in a confidential account that gives people access to their medical records and other vital documents, such as insurance policies, birth certificates and wills, anytime from anywhere in the world using the Internet.

As a result of MMR’s merger with Favrille, the company acquired intellectual property assets, including data from clinical vaccine trials and an anti-CD20 antibody that is a potential candidate for the next generation Rituxan®. Rituxan, used to treat Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and other B-Cell malignancies, was the first monoclonal antibody approved by the FDA to treat cancer, and Mr. Lorsch retained GRSworldwide in 2009 to accelerate the time to market of the company’s anti-C20 antibody asset.
