Great Show at ASBS 2007

Just got back from the annual trip to ASBS... things were really clicking for us at the conference this year. Lots of good leads, great conversation with a lot of very interesting and important people. All said and done, it was a very positive conference for both our BariEHR product and Investigate for Bariatrics, our clinical outcomes research offering.

The conference was held at the San Diego Conference center, in gorgeous downtown San Diego, literally minutes from the airport. The weather was great (but then again, this is San Diego, would you expect less?) and people were very pleasant to talk with.

Dr. Phil Schauer, the outgoing president of ASBS, came to our booth on Thursday the 14th to talk about his experiences with RemedyMD at CCF, and how they've been using our product. We actually had quite a crowd packed in for that part of the session. I think that people are genuinely interested in conducting outcomes studies and improving their care processes to have better care, but often find themselves ill-equipped to do so. That's why we feel Investigate for Bariatrics adds so much value... let us handle the data management/security/collection, etc and spend your time focusing on the research.

We spoke with several groups wanting to aggregate data locally for research, others interested in developing registries and state-wide weight-loss surgery data sets. Investigate is a natural option to support these since it really focuses on three things 1) Aggregating data from multiple sources 2) Providing easy screen-building tools to support further data collection and 3) Offering powerful query and report generation tools to make use of this data. Our message was definitely resonating with the ASBS 2007 crowd...
