By digitizing information relative to clinics and hospitals and the services provided by them, VIVOnet wants to build the largest integrated database in the online field, "said Adrian Rus, manager of the trust Medien Holding, which includes România Libera newspaper and the website. Clinics and hospitals can also create accounts on VIVOnet network to interact with patients. Their profile will include information such as services and prices, schedule of doctors and clinic, and other useful information, such as the address or the phone number. The services VIVOnet will offer to the clinics include: publishing medical articles, fixing appointments online, and sending alerts to patients. VIVOnet network is developed in collaboration with iValueHealth.NET, an international company with a rich experience in the field of health. “iValueHealth.NET is a platform rich in services, and its richness and flexibility is being proven once again through this new partnership with România Libera. We are very pleased that VIVOnet will provide access to innovative health services to all users in Romania and we believe that it can have the same success as iValueHealth.NET, and become the first social health network in the country. VIVOnet will contribute to bringing doctors and the medical world closer to patients and users, increasing their level of health awareness, answering to the current needs existing in the country" said Sergio Lozano, Director iValueHealth.NET.
