KIRKLAND, Wash., Nov. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unified Signal, Inc. (OTCQB:UNSI), a leading developer of cloud-based enterprise level SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solutions for the mobile and wireless industry, today announced that it has expanded the scope of its partnership with BurstIQ: in addition to providing the first telco-level blockchain crypto-wallet, Unified will offer a blockchain-based health data management layer. The health data layer works seamlessly with the crypto-wallet to allow consumers to control, protect, and manage their most sensitive personal information.
The new blockchain-based data management platform will support wearables, IoT devices, healthcare records, financial data, and mobile app health data, and protect consumers’ private information from unauthorized use. BurstIQ’s propriety blockchain platform, which powers both the crypto-wallet and the health data management capability, is the only HIPAA-compliant blockchain platform of its kind today.
This comes on the heels of last week’s partnership announcement with BurstIQ, a leading healthcare blockchain data company, that the companies will co-develop the first crypto-wallet for mainstream distribution on wireless devices. BurstIQ, who is already using blockchain to secure sensitive medical records for healthcare institutions, will integrate their patent-pending blockchain platform with Unified Signal’s mobile wallet architecture. The result is a native app that will be available for Unified Signal’s network of wireless MVNO brands and wireless carrier partners.
“This health data layer changes everything, as the platform will now act as a centralized hub for securing our customers’ personal information, from financial data to healthcare data,” says Paris Holt, CEO of Unified Signal. “The applications of our platform will become virtually limitless and allow us to expand into other industry sectors outside of telecom and financial.”
Frank Ricotta, CEO of BurstIQ commented: “Industry insiders have known for some time that blockchain has huge potential for government, financial institutions, and healthcare. As the first commercial launch of the technology for mainstream consumers, this is a huge milestone for not just the blockchain industry as a whole, but for consumers who want to control and protect their personal data. It gives people a glimpse into what blockchain can do for them, and that’s really exciting.”

To the extent that statements contained in this press release are not descriptions of historical facts regarding Unified Signal, they are forward-looking statements reflecting the current beliefs and expectations of management made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “objectives” and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this release involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the development and monetization of our mobile games, future results, performance or achievements to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Unified Signal undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. The quoting and trading of the company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTC Market Group’s OTC Link quotation system is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with the company’s operations or business prospects. As a result, there may be volatility in the market price of the shares of the company’s common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTC Market Group’s OTC Link quotation system are not stock exchanges, and trading of securities on them is often more sporadic than trading of securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or another securities exchange. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the company in general, see Unified Signal’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available through http://www.sec.gov.
