Market Overview:According to The Center for Information Technology Leadership (CITL) PHRs are projected to be a $19 billion dollar market.[1] Several movements are behind the growing popularity of PHRs, including interest in web-based social networking and the Health 2.0 movement. [2]
Another concept that promotes the PHR as a tool for patient self-management is the web-based personal medical home model.[3] Many consumers have PHRs through their employers, health insurers, or health providers. Currently, 10 percent of the public takes advantage of PHRs, however, privacy issues and access limitations remain a large concern.[10] Additionally, there are consumers who have PHRs through independent vendors. One estimate indicates that seventy million people in the United States have access to a PHR. [4] The Federal government ruled on August 23rd, 2012 that Stage 2 Meaningful Use taking effect in 2014 requires “electronic or online access” to patient health data versus the previous rule which only required a copy of patient health information.[11] With regard to health benefits, there was a 5.25-point reduction in diastolic blood pressure for patients that used a PHR frequently.[10] Primary factors contributing to the increase in demand for PHRs in 2013 includes 32 million previously uninsured Americans placing increased demands on the health system, the imperative for sharing medical record information with patients in Stage 2 MU and tools like PHRs can potentially play a critical role in preventing re admissions within 30 days of discharge.

Since this report was last published in January 2012 there have been a number of dramatic changes in the PHR/patient portal market.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the insurance mandate in the Affordable Care Act means that starting January, 1 2014,
14 million Americans will be insured with the remaining 16 million coming online by 2021. [29] A report from PwC’s Health Research
Institute describes the newly-insured demographic as less educated, more racially diverse, and more than twice as likely to speak a
primary language other than English. Many will also never have been insured before. [30] Given these dynamics providers will need to
identify processes and tools that will help them to successfully get on board this new segment of the population. Tools such as PHRs
will become increasingly important to communicate with and engage this patient population. PHRs that provide channels for providers
and patients to connect digitally is a key factor to improving patient care, facilitating safety and efficiency and reducing costs. [13]
A second, and significant development is Stage 2 Meaningful Use requirements for providers to ensure at least 5% of patients access,
print, share or download their health records. [31] This will most likely spur unprecedented demand for PHRs enabling patients to
access their digital records. With the CMS 30 day readmission rate penalties now in place providers are quickly exploring strategies
and technologies that can help to reduce re admissions. Many studies suggest that better communication and engagement after
discharge leads to lower readmission rates. The University of Colorado at Denver’s Care Transitions Program demonstrated a 20 to
40 percent reduction in overall hospital readmission rates through the use of an innovative transition model that required the use of
a PHR. [32] Given the tailwinds resulting from federal mandates and research that continues to demonstrate the efficacy of PHRs, the
market is positioned for what can be a break-out year.

Valuation AnalysisThe industry accepted patent evaluation method that we used was PatentValuePredictor.com which has been developed and
launched several years ago by Richard A. Neifeld and Dr. Martin Goffman.
Dr. Neifeld holds a JD degree from George Washington University and a Ph.D. in Physics from Rutgers University. Dr. Neifeld is also the founder of Neifeld IP Law, PC. He is a patent attorney registered to practice in the State of Virginia, before the District Court for the District of Columbia, and before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. He is a member of several Intellectual Property as-sociations, and he is the former chair of the Interference Committee of the American Intellectual Property Lawyers Association.
Dr. Martin Goffman holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Temple University and has owned and operated small high technology businesses for the past 15 years. In addition to StockPricePredictor.com. LLC, Dr. Goffman maintains his long time passion of information research, particularly in the patent information and related technology fields, and he is the principal of Martin Goffman Associates.Patent Value Predictor reports are based on patented macroeconomic models for automatically valuing patents. The reports are backed by patent and financial databases which record the proprietary statistics used to predict the potential market size, and your patent’s predicted share of this market. Many factors, such as the number of patents in the technology area, profit margins, and the GDP, figure into the statistically predicted valuation.[5]
After using the Patent Value Predictor software we established a base value for the market and then took into account the predicted size of the market (GDP) and the fact that the market has a 7% usage rate of PHRs currently.[6] We adjusted those values to reflect the size of the market (GDP) predicted and the potential value of the patent portfolio accordingly. We recognized that the patents listed here have a remaining enforcement life of approximately 14 years from when they issue. The biggest factors in determining the value of the patent portfolio that we took into consideration were patent significance, the market size, the patent term, and amount of prior art.
Based on our analysis, the range of value for these patents could reach $600 million to $1.1 billion in revenue based on very con-servative estimates that the market will reach the full GDP value of $19 billion in the next 10 years.[1] The risk factors for these patent values not realizing their predicted range of value include, adoption rate of PHRs, the claims granted in the patent are not enforce-able and widely used, the market doesn’t grow as quickly as predicted, the prices for PHRs drop substantially, and or government/regulatory forces. This valuation does not take into account the international patents which have issued in the MMRGlobal portfolio.
Conclusions & Opportunities Looking Ahead
The world’s healthcare IT market is expected to grow
from $99.6 billion in 2010 to $162.2 billion in 2015, representing
a CAGR of 10.2% from 2010 to 2015.[19] There
are approximately over 150 PHRs [27] and 750 EMR’s[7] that have been identified as active in the marketplace.
These 900 providers are potential license targets as well
as potential infringers of MMRGlobal’s patent portfolio. There
are over 5,500 hospitals and 56,000 pharmacies in
the United Sates. MMRGlobal will pursue licensing agree-
ments with Hospitals, Providers, Payors, Pharmacies and
Software Vendors. Additionally MMRGlobal continually files
claims with the US Patent Office on a regular
basis to enhance the patent portfolio.
PHRs will continue to evolve and will become more standard-
ized as regulations and legislation governing them go into effect.
As outlined in the Federal Strategic Health IT Plan published in
September 2011, the government has a stated goal to empower
the individual and offer incentives around giving patients access
to their health information in an electronic format or (PHR). [8] A
key tenet of Stage 2 Meaningful Use, which takes effect in 2014,
will rely heavily on the functionality that PHRs afford providers
to engage patients and their families in their care. [8] In 2012,
estimates are that the government paid out $1.2 billion in the
month of December alone, with an estimated total of $10.3
billion in EHR incentive payments since the start of the program
in 2009. [33]
