Press Release: NDMA Launches New Google Desktop Gadgets Designed For Women Proactive In Healthcare

Berwyn, PA — October 9, 2007 - Coinciding with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, National Digital Medical Archive, Inc. [NDMA] through its consumer portal, myNDMA.com has launched two new Google™ Desktop gadgets designed to remind women to perform routine monthly Breast Self Examinations (BSEs) and obtain routine annual mammography studies, as well as help them locate radiology facilities where state-of-the-art digital mammography is offered. These innovative tools are used with the Google Desktop™ application and are being provided free to women to remind them of the importance of maintaining breast well health.

The BSE gadget, designed using the pink ribbon symbol for breast cancer awareness, is a desktop presence providing daily reminders to consumers that a monthly breast self exam and yearly clinical breast exam should be performed.  For patients who are seeking a radiology facility that offers digital mammography, the myNDMA Digital Facility Locator directs users to those facilities simply by entering a zip code.

As recently featured on the CBS news affiliate (KYW) in Philadelphia https://www.myndma.com/myndma/news/InitNews.do, myNDMA is empowering women to save lives.  It is a free web-based portal designed to help patients manage their medical images such as mammograms and MRIs, and personal health records (PHRs), and more effectively partner with their healthcare providers.

"The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends that women age 40 years and older should have a screening mammogram every year. Unfortunately, not all mammograms detect breast cancer, and therefore it is recommended that women also perform monthly breast self exams. The myNDMA Breast Self Examination Reminder available through Google is an excellent tool to remind women to take a more proactive approach to maintaining breast health," stated Diane Hockstein, EVP – Web Services Group, NDMA.
