Dorodny, MD (Ehave’s Advisory Board member) realigned his then 17-year-old health care policy, economics and information technology consulting company to refocus on health information technology (HIT) and Telehealth. Prof. Dorodny’s expertise and enthusiasm foster strategic partnerships between HIT manufacturers, medical service providers, consumers, and payors.“The current Global health care system needs to expand the use of Health Information Technologies (HIT) and Telemedicine. The system emerged in the wake of latest health care legislation will crash without it,” says Dr. Victor Dorodny. “Adding millions of health care consumers, while mandating extended coverage, combined with increased demand for health care from the aging baby boomers is straining the system at the seams. Telemedicine seems to be our best viable alternative to provide health care for the ever growing needs of the consumer, especially the chronically ill and aging. I have no doubt that health care delivery in the World will change dramatically in the next ten years through the adoption of telemedicine. We are in the convergent space defined by medicine, information, and technology, and plan to work hard on integrating them for the benefit of the health care system. Ehave, by acquiring the controlling package of MDLink, becomes a real player in the field, with array of offerings that are complementary for/to provision of Telemed/Telehealth services.”MDLink Founder and CEO, Dr. Ché Bowen said, “We are pleased to partner with Ehave as we are confident in the work of their superior team of experts in both the Digital Health and Mental Health sectors.
