Validian Corporation (OTC: VLDI) today announced that Joe Grace, who has worked as a senior marketing executive in the eHealth sector for several years, has joined the company as Director of its eHealth Practice.
Grace, who brings a wide range of sales and marketing expertise to Validian, will spearhead the companyÂ’s entry into the eHealth market. In addition to his familiarity with the eHealth sector, Grace has worked as President of Global Health Alternatives, Chief Operating Officer for PlasmaNet Inc. and marketing strategist for NV Perricone.

“The health industry is under increasing pressure to constrain escalating administrative costs,” said Dr. André Maisonneuve, Validian’s President and CEO. “One way to limit these costs is to move from paper - to web-based systems. However, ethically and under the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), great care must be taken to ensure that private health information is protected at all times. Unfortunately, many of today’s security solutions, such as SSL, do not provide an adequate level of security; those that do are prohibitively expensive.”
Validian ASI delivers inherent security for all communications between distributed applications, simplifies management of application-to-application communication and provides granular access control to the application-component level. Validian Flash Communicator™ and Secure Instant Messenger (SIM) deliver a simple, cost-effective and rapidly deployed way to ensure the security of communication and file exchange over any IP-based network. On a biometrically enabled USB flash drive, Flash Communicator is the only solution to deliver 3-factor user authentication of static and mobile users and to enable completely secure communication and file transfer regardless of a user’s location.
“ASI has the ability to connect providers, payers and patients online simply, cost effectively and completely securely,” said Grace. “We understand the requirements of HIPAA and can work with health enterprises large and small to deliver a secure environment that is HIPAA-compliant and that can help companies dramatically reduce costs by taking advantage of web-based services.”
