Launch of a new cloud hosted Software as a Service ("SaaS") of Odyssey CareAssess

Highlights

·; Odyssey CareAssess delivered as a cloud hosted SaaS solution, via 3G and broadband, provides secure low cost access for Care Homes in countries where the English (UK) or English (USA) languages are used.

·; As a cloud hosted SaaS solution using industry standard remote desktops protocols Odyssey CareAssess becomes available on new devices including the Apple iPad, Android slates and Windows tablets

·; Developing market solutions with suppliers of hosted desktop environments provides users with strong security, high availability and low cost of ownership

Avia (AIM: AVIA), the developer and provider of clinical decision support systems, is pleased to announce that it has launched a new cloud hosted SaaS of its Odyssey CareAssess.

Odyssey CareAssess delivered as a solution through one of our cloud hosting partners means that Care Homes who could not afford the initial capital outlay can now access Odyssey CareAssess providing essential care to their residents by pay as you go and/or low monthly subscription.

Cloud hosted SaaS allows key workers the freedom to work where the client/resident is and to move from care home to care home within a group, accessing the record from wherever they are within the group environment.

The simplicity of deployment of Odyssey CareAssess via the cloud hosted SaaS will mean that organisations do not have to worry about servers, clinical and technical updates, technical knowhow and the concerns of data backup.

Barry Giddings, Chairman of Avia, commented:

"Being able to access Odyssey CareAssess through the hosted desktop on an Apple iPad, Android slates and Windows tablets will mean that many more users will now be able to access the software to provide essential care to their residents. It's so simple to use and able to run on the 3G connections making it available to organisations that have not been able to install Wi-Fi throughout their Care Homes.

We believe that Odyssey CareAssess cloud hosted SaaS solution is an essential tool for any Care Home provider and will ensure better more appropriate care for unwell residents of care homes"
