SAN DIEGO – SafeMed is venturing into new territory, with a new name and some new products designed to push the company's healthcare footprint into new areas.

The San Diego-based healthcare analytics company  -  it provided the analytics engine for Google Health  -  announced last month its name change to Anvita Health. In addition, the company launched a new mobile viewer for Google Health that allows users to gain access to their personal health records at any time and from any place.

"We see Google Health as a vital tool in allowing consumers to take a more active role in their own healthcare and the care of their families," said Ahmed Ghouri, Anvita Health's co-founder and chief medical officer. "The Anvita Mobile Viewer builds a bridge between the home and the doctor's office and allows Google Health users to realize the full worth of their PHR data by taking it to where critical medical decisions are made."

"Anvita is the Sanskrit word for bridging gaps in understanding, and it very accurately describes what we do," said Richard Noffsinger, Anvita Health's CEO. "Our software solutions create a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of populations and individuals."
