Connectyx Technologies Holdings Group, Inc. (pinksheets:CTYX) ("Connectyx"), www.connectyx.com , manufacturer and distributor of the MedFlash(R), a Personal Health and Wellness Management System (ePHM) designed for maintaining personal health records (PHR), announced today that the company has been approved by the Veterans administration to utilize the VA's enhanced Blue Button(R) initiative for downloading personal medical records. The MedFlash utility in conjunction with this rapidly expanding "Blue Button" utility will enable MedFlash subscribers who access their personal medical records through MedFlash to have more options which will make it possible for them to download, print, and share their information as part of their MedFlash membership. The downloadable data can be in a text file or as an enhanced PDF, which then can be shared as part of their MedFlash Personal Health Profile with first responders or health care professionals through the MedFlash "Blue Button(R)" link. Self-entered data elements currently available for download include:

        --  Allergies and Adverse Reactions (pharmaceutical allergies and physical             allergies)         --  Demographic Information         --  Emergency Contact Information         --  Family Health History (Self and Relatives)         --  Health Care Providers         --  Health Data (i.e. blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, etc.)         --  Health Insurance         --  Immunizations         --  Lab and Test Results         --  Medical Conditions and Personal Medical History         --  Medications, Herbals, and Supplements         --  Treatment Facilities         --  Vitals and Readings          

In August 2010, the President of the United States announced the Blue Button initiative which would offer patients one-click access to all of their personal healthcare data. The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) developed the program with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Markle Foundation's Consumer Engagement Workgroup. Recently, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology conducted a conference announcing to health information technology vendors that they should "set data free," enabling patients to have secure and easy access to their personal health records information through Blue Button.
