Experienced, Savvy Board of Directors at Helm of Kallo, Inc. (KALO)

In 2010, global expenditures for healthcare reached $6.3 trillion. Many factors, including increasing numbers of people with chronic diseases, a growing global elderly population and the increased need for medical attention that comes with it, and the ballooning of health conditions arising from unhealthy lifestyle choices, contributed to that jump.

Global demand for healthcare is projected to increase as these influences become more pronounced, and as costs rise to cover the growing healthcare organizational expenditures arising from meeting that demand. Kallo, a healthcare information technology company, has developed a suite of technologies and products to help healthcare organizations contain and reduce costs, implement better methods for monitoring and treating patient medical conditions, and increasing healthcare accessibility to populations in remote, hard-to-reach locales. The company’s four technologies aim at streamlining and building excellence in processes, existing information systems, communications, resources, and work flows, and overall care delivery.

Both the company leadership and products and technologies have been found to be in compliance with their related benchmarks for measuring and gauging effectiveness. Particularly, Kallo’s board of directors is made up of highly capable professionals with rich and diverse industry knowledge bases and backgrounds, enhancing the board’s ability to drive efforts of bringing cutting-edge healthcare IT solutions to light and enhancing healthcare delivery standards and reach across the world. The board members have close to 140 years of combined professional experience between them, committing themselves to the same high performance and ethical standards quality they seek to foster in Kallo products. They have implemented a culture of high expectations for integrity, accountability, excellence, innovation support, and leadership, in order to offer an even stronger value proposition to Kallo product users and shareholders.
