RIP, Mitochon Systems?
I’m not sure if this got reported anywhere, because I couldn’t find anything online, but the following message is on the home page of free EHR vendor Mitochon Systems:
The company hasn’t posted any news releases online since March 4, which was during HIMSS13. No tweets have been posted since Feb. 11, which is also the last time the company updated its little-used Facebook page. I guess we can safely say the winnowing of the ambulatory EHR market has begun.
Hi Neil,
I did post about it a while back and where they’re taking the company: http://www.emrandhipaa.com/emr-and-hipaa/2013/05/20/mitochon-shuts-down-free-ehr-service/ The EHR is shutdown, but the company is still around and kicking.
Mitochon have closed their ambulatory business in favor of their proprietory product they developed to manage advertising thru mitochon website from free emr users.
Maintaining free emr is expensive game for smaller players with no funding
So they will be managing advertising for other free EHRs?
Neil,
Potentially. Or even offering a way for paid EHRs to monetize their product. No reason the right “ads” couldn’t be incorporated in paid EHR solutions as well. If the ad is so good that it’s content, it is a different sales pitch.
