LAKEWOOD, CO, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Healthagen(TM), a developer of healthcare information software, today
introduced a new version of iTriage(TM) designed for all types of smart
phones. This move makes the iTriage decision support platform available
to a broader cross section of consumers. Healthagen also announced that
iTriage for the iPhone is now available for free on iTunes(R).
iTriage is now available for all smart phones with a mobile internet
browser and connectivity including BlackBerry, Android, Samsung, LG,
Nokia, Palm, T-Mobile, Sony and Motorola. To get access, consumers simply
go to www.iTriageHealth.com from their smart phone, and they will be able
to evaluate their symptoms, learn about the possible causes, find
appropriate locations for treatment, as well as get cost information
based on the type of facility they visit.
"It is important to us, as physicians, to provide as many consumers as
possible with easy access to the right care the first time around," said
Wayne Guerra, M.D., M.B.A., Chief Medical Officer, Healthagen. "The
introduction of our mobile phone version will get consumers much closer to
a more efficient, positive experience with their healthcare decision
making process and overall experience."
The smart phone version of iTriage includes Healthagen's proprietary
healthcare-focused search engine offering an expansive library of medical
symptoms, diseases, and procedures. Users can immediately see initial
diagnostic options and get recommendations on whether an emergency
department, urgent care, retail clinic, or physician office is the best
starting point. iTriage for smart phones has also been enhanced with added
symptoms and diseases, more common terminology, as well as an extensive
database of physician providers. Users can now enter the zip code they are
searching and find physicians, medical facilities, and pharmacies across
the United States.
"With the push toward healthcare reform in the U.S., Health Plans,
Employers, and TPAs are looking for consumer driven healthcare tools that
will help their members spend money in a more efficient manner," said
Peter Hudson, M.D., CEO, Healthagen. "Consumers need help in deciding on
the right level of care, and finding it quickly when it is most needed.
iTriage, with its cross-device mobile platform, now provides this
assistance to potentially millions of users."
