Thanks for the note, Alex. Since this article was based on a presentation there was some trouble sourcing the data. We figured out that the metric for the percentage of those with chronic diseases who also have Internet access came from a Pew Internet Research report from last May. The link takes you to the report’s summary.

Thanks to Lisa for such a great write-up of Voxiva and what we do. I think sometimes the best perspective can come from the outside and you seem to have summed up our business better than Paul or I ever could. I hear HealthCampNash was lots of fun and wish I could have been there myself. Thanks again!
