(RHT.V) (RQHTF) (“Reliq” or the “Company”), a technology company focused on developing innovative remote patient monitoring, care coordination and telemedicine solutions for Community-Based Healthcare, is pleased to announce that it has received the second milestone payment from NextGen Applications LLC of San Antonio, TX (“NextGen” – NextGenApplicationsLLC.com, info@nextgenapplicationsllc.com) per the contract between Reliq and NextGen. The contract, whose total value is $1.22 Million USD, provides NextGen with professional services and a limited license to Reliq’s proprietary iUGO Care platform, specifically for the development of a consumer focused mobile health app (“mTelecare App”), providing service to the greater San Antonio area before expanding elsewhere throughout the U.S.

The mTelecare app will also provide automated prescription refills, search tools for healthcare services, a personalized health calendar with push notifications, reminders and a suite of billing and payment tools. mTelecare will provide greater access to healthcare, while at the same time reducing healthcare costs.”
