Our Products & Services

Our novel communications architecture—the CPS HealthNode™ Network—couples a publish/subscribe, node-to-node network architecture with a patented underlying software method to deliver a unique set of important benefits and advantages.

Our unique software suite for healthcare consumers and professionals--the Health Information Index™ (Hii™) System--consists of a wide variety of products that help build and share knowledge essential for delivering high-value care.

Our services provide product support, custom software development, and consultancy.

The Hii™ System and CPS HealthNode™ network are the result of groundbreaking work by Stephen Beller, PhD, CEO/President of NHDS. Dr. Beller's pioneering effort, which began in 1981, has evolved into a next-generation health information system with a patented underlying technology providing a long list of important features and benefits that include:

  • Easy, low-cost, secure, anywhere/anytime access to dynamic personalized reports without information overload [1]
  • Rapid exchange of information without need of expensive hardware, high-speed networks, or complex software systems
  • Automated sharing of copious data and reports from "desktop-to-desktop" ("application-to-application") using nothing more than e-mail and spreadsheets
  • A method for indexing and categorizing every conceivable piece of health-related information using a numeric classification system similar to the Dewey Decimal libraries use to organize books
  • A way to understand and manage the mind-body connection by identifying psychological (emotional, cognitive, and behavioral) symptoms related to medication side-effects, biomedical conditions, and use of non-prescribed drugs
  • A complete biopsychosocial history showing trends, and associations between, a person's physical and psychological signs and symptoms (including lab test results, genetic data, vital signs, allergies, cognitive and emotional disturbances, behavioral tendencies, coping skill deficits, perceptual problems, etc.)
  • Problem-management guides supplying coping and problem-solving tools to manage real-life challenges
  • Useful “information therapy” (i.e., educational/instructional materials) from a wide variety of sources [2]
  • A system for integrating sick-care with well-care. [3]

The software products currently in the Hii™ System suite focus on:

  • Educating and guiding consumers in the prevention of health problems and effective self-management of chronic conditions
  • Promoting high care quality and cost-effectiveness with next-generation health information technologies [4]
  • Supporting clinical research and evidence-based decision-making across all healthcare disciplines, as well as conventional and complementary & alternative approaches [5]
  • Enabling easy and economical collaboration between health professionals, researchers, patients, and other stakeholders.

Underlying our software products and communications architecture is the patented CP Split™ technology, which provides these benefits and advantages: 

  • Low cost of ownership
  • Low consumption of bandwidth, storage, and other resources
  • Ease of use
  • High security
  • Flexibility and interoperability
  • Rapid development and deployment
  • Efficient peer-to-peer (decentralized) communications in loosely coupled networks of nodes.

Our Services focus on development and support of custom software products, as well as consultation in the areas of wellness, mind-body health, and knowledge management.
