a protective case and wirelessly communicates with the app
on their phone. To generate a Lead I ECG, the user must rest
the electrodes on their fingers from each hand. The app
senses skin contact on the sensors and when an acceptable
connection is made it counts down to initiate the ECG
recording.

demonstrated clinical efficacy.
Power and Portability
The Heart Monitor does not use power from the iPhone, but
utilizes a 3.0V coin cell battery that will take up to roughly
10,000, 30-second ECGs before needing replacement. The
Heart Monitor also uses AliveCor’s proprietary wireless
communication protocol to communicate with the app, and
requires no pairing between the iPhone and the Heart
Monitor.

7. Expert Opinion
7.1 Interview with Justin Sims CEO of Voxiva
What follows below is an exclusive interview that visiongain conducted with Justin Sims CEO of
Voxiva in Q2 2013.
7.1.1 Voxiva’s Market Standing and Current Offerings
Visiongain: Can you give us a brief introduction to what services and offerings Voxiva
provides in the mHealth field?
Justin Sims: We see Voxiva not as a mobile health company but as a digital health company.
Some of our services are provided directly to consumers, and others are provided to our
customers who then provide our services to consumers.
Our customers include health insurance companies, health care providers and the government
(with their health care delivery responsibilities). We’ve also have both direct and indirect channels
for getting our products into the hands of consumers. For example we offer a service called
Text4Baby directly to the public. We believe this is now the largest consumer focussed mobile
health services anywhere in the world and have now enrolled over 500, 000 people in the service.
We also offer a smoking cessation program, text2quit, but it’s not available directly to the public,
instead we offer that to health insurance companies, employers and state health departments, who
pay us or our channels for the services then offer the program to their members of populations.
Our services include text4baby, for maternal health, text4kids, for childhood health, text4health for
preventative health and wellness, care4life, for diabetes, text2quit, for smoking cessation and
finally connect4health is a bundle offering of three services, that we provide to health insurance
companies to support their member communications efforts.
text4baby is our best known program, because of its size and scale and reach, and we run this in
partnership with the National Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies. We are able to provide it free of
charge to members of the public thanks to a grant from Johnson and Johnson and the support of
the mobile phone industry that is providing the text messages free of charge to us and users. In the
U.S. text4baby been part of a huge public/private partnership. The government has reviewed and
endorsed the program, even though they don’t directly fund it. We have over 100 health insurance
companies that promote it to their members and almost all states health departments. We had
