Medical tech firm to open Hawaii lab

A Mainland technology solutions firm specializing in health and wellness plans to establish a research and development lab in Hawaii.
San Diego, Calif.-based Medikeeper said Friday it closed on its recent round of funding with Honolulu-based venture capital firm Pacificap.
Medikeeper offers Web-based software centered on improving health and wellness through personal health records management. The company did not say when it planned to open the lab or how many people it would employ.
"Hawaii is an ideal setting for the early deployment of innovative health-care products," said Jeffrey Au, managing director for Pacificap, in a statement. "Pacificap believes that funding Medikeeper's R&D unit in Hawaii is an important step in leveraging Hawaii's competitive advantage and promoting economic diversification."
