Have Healthcare in Your Hand with iTriage--Available on Blackberry Soon!

Having seen a growing need for patients to have more actionable healthcare information in their hands, two emergency room physicians, Drs. Peter Hudson and Wayne Guerra created iTriage, a FREE smartphone application that allows the user to search and browse hundreds of symptoms, diseases, and procedures. It provides useful descriptions of the conditions, treatments, and medical tests, and offers support links to your insurer’s advice line. iTriage is currently available on iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, and Palm and will soon become available on Blackberry!

iTriage can empower you with access to a wealth of medical information, including

• Information on more than 300 symptoms, 1000 diseases and 350 medical procedure
• A nationwide directory of hospitals, urgent cares, retail clinics, pharmacies and physicians
• Detailed quality reports from HealthGrades on hospitals and physicians
• Nurse advice lines
• Help negotiating medical bills through an iTriage partnership with one of the most respected claims adjudication organizations
• Turn-by-turn facility directions from GPS, IP address or zip code locations (using iPhone's GPS)
• Emergency Room Wait Times for hospitals in select states.

I'm really impressed with these amazing features of iTriage, particularly HealthGrades reports and help with negotiating medical bills. If you already own one of the eligible mobile devices, please consider downloading this free app. It won't cost you a dime but will sure save you a time and money when you need to seek healthcare information.

Have a happy and healthy new year!
