Microsoft Technology Company Teams Up with Super Survivor Kids to Beat the Odds

The odds of beating cancer for pediatric patients are good, but these strong, young survivors often have life-long healthcare concerns that must be monitored and addressed. After watching patients attempt to cope with this challenge, Pediatric Endocrinologists and other Healthcare professionals thought there ought to be a way they could offer their patients easy, secure access to all the information they would need to get optimal care for the remainder of their lives. HIMformatics, a software development company, was able to use a platform created by DevExpress, based on Microsoft® development technologies, to make this far-sighted medical dream a reality—complete with a user-friendly, secure web-portal that can be used to both store and share a patient's complete medical history. This makes the ongoing fight for a long, healthy life easier for patients, families, and providers.
