Duri News - Medical Care Mobile Apps are Becoming More Common.
With hundreds of mobile application downloads available for consumers using smart phones, the biggest questions to ask before downloading them is, which applications are the most useful and do they work?
In the medical care industry, mobile applications that allow consumers to interface with hospitals, medical centers and clinics are on the rise. Currently there are applications available for sharing information such as finding consultants, guidance to a particular hospital, health and first aid references, storing of important personal medical data and alerting emergency hospital personnel ahead of time about health symptoms before arrival to the emergency room.
A mobile application developed by iTriage that has been used for a couple years, allows smart phone users to quickly access a variety of healthcare information about symptoms, diseases, medications, procedures, and nearby facilities.
The iTriage just added a new feature that exclusively works with the Fort Walton Beach Medical Center in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. The medical center became the first hospital located on the Florida panhandle area to offer the use of a smart phone application to allow people to notify the emergency room (ER) staff that they are en route to the hospital.
As of today, when a consumer uses the iTriage application to locate Fort Walton Beach Medical Center or its affiliate Destin Emergency Care Center, the user will have the option to click “iNotify” from the facility’s listing. The patient can thn fill out out specific details like symptoms experienced, allergies, and anything else helpful for the ER staff to know prior to arrival. This allows the ER team to be better prepared for the patient’s care needs before they arrive.
The iTriage application is available as a free download from app stores for iPhone and Android devices, and is accessible from any web-enabled device at www.iTriageHealth.com.
A mobile application (Abubavam Hospital) developed by Anubavam LLC, San Antonio, Tex., allows users to access first aid information in its healthcare mobile app with a press of a key providing important and helpful information for everything from stomach pains, animal bites and headaches..
The app also allows users to check information on hospital facilities, find out tariffs for room, lab and consultation fees, and a virtual tour feature which gives the user turn-by-turn guidance of mapping from their current location. To find out more about Anubavam mobile apps, go to www.Anubavam.com.
Another new mobile app that could help save lives comes through a partnership between the San Jose, (Calif.) Fire Department and the El Camino Hospital, Mountain View, Calif.
The mobile app called “PulsePoint” enables members of the public to provide life-saving assistance to victims of sudden cardiac arrest. San Jose is the nation's largest city to use PulsePoint's location-aware technology.
A real nice feature of this app allows users who have indicated they are trained in CPR can be notified if someone nearby is having a cardiac emergency and may require CPR. The app also uses sophisticated location-based services to alert citizens in a public place of the need for CPR.
The app is available for both the iPhone and Android smart phones. Additional information on the PulsePoint app can found at www.pulsepoint.org
Other mobile applications on the market allow individuals to monitor their calorie intake, allow doctors to view a patient's x-rays and deliver strict weight management programs.
One key note on all the mobile medical applications coming into view on the marketplace. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is striving to seek a balance between patient safety and innovation. The FDA has the key responsibility to monitor the effectiveness of mobile medical applications so they to not pose a risk to a patients health, assuming they do not work properly as intended by the app developers.
