BALTIMORE, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 07/16/09 -- Ankota, Inc. announced today the release of the Ankota Home Healthcare Delivery Management (HDM) software suite, including home care scheduling software and paperless work reporting software that aids with home care compliance. These products, deployed via the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, will enable home healthcare agencies and their workers to improve patient care while seeing and caring for up to 30% more patients.

With the release of its product, Ankota is implementing a multi-tiered strategy to improve the management of care, which includes advanced scheduling, GPS routing, Mobile handheld and telephony (IVR) work tracking, plus management of best practice care protocols.

With the aging of the baby boomers, the population of people age 65 and over is on track to triple between now and 2030 outlining a clear need for home care growth and efficiency improvements.

For founder and CEO Will Hicklen and his teenage daughters, Hailey and Hannah, their world changed last July upon the death of their beloved wife and mother Sandy Hicklen. Sandy died of cancer at the age of 42. Will, a successful software industry entrepreneur, and his close friend Dr. Hunter Young, a medical doctor at Johns Hopkins, saw through Sandy's fight the opportunity to dramatically change the lives of patients and those who care for them.

One year later, Will launched Ankota (www.Ankota.com) as the pioneering company in the field of Healthcare Delivery Management (HDM). "When you need healthcare outside the hospital, all of the burden of scheduling and coordination falls upon the patient or loved ones," Hicklen shared, "and although the health workers are adept at their skill, nobody seems to understand the big picture. It's a helpless and lonely feeling that I don't want others to experience."
