History

Our company was started in July of 2001 offering a next generation video conferencing system that simulated a “live” classroom / meeting. The success of this system led to the development of high quality continuing medical education programming.

Through those ventures, and as our understanding of the medical field grew, we realized that our technology could be adjusted to better serve the healthcare community. We therefore conceptualized iMedicor as a social community portal similar to Facebook YouTube, and MySpace that would allow physicians to communicate in a HIPAA compliant environment via the Internet.

We looked at how other portals served their consumer communities and created a comprehensive list of features that would attract physicians, and we tested the idea in the physician marketplace… mostly at medical conventions and conferences. We meet with officials of many medical societies and they told us unanimously that we should focus on “fixing” the communications issues within the healthcare world.

Today, Doctors cannot use the Internet the way every other segment of the business world does because of HIPAA regulations that protect the security of patient’s personal health records. We set out to understand the regulations, how they would govern the online delivery of digital medical records, and used that information to create a very compelling group of services that we are now able to deliver to physicians throughout the country for free.
