Tobias Alpsten, CEO of iPLATO, said: "Continued support from healthcare commissioners across the NHS has been an instrumental in enabling us to reach our first five million patients. However, this is only a step on the way. There are more than 6 billion mobile handsets in the world today, each owned by a person for whom health is important, so there is a lot of room for growth. In addition to our in-house research and development efforts we actively seek partners with specific clinical skills to add to our overall service offering. We owe our healthcare provider partners and patients best-of-breed services. We expect many of these new, exiting, services to be delivered in partnership with universities, hospitals, clinical experts and other innovation companies across the world. We are especially interested in services that support people with long term conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, depression and coronary heart disease."
