Government Mental Health Facilities Integrated Into iTriage, a Free Medical App

Government Mental Health Facilities Integrated into iTriage, a Free Medical App – Popular medical app iTriage has integrated a government dataset of the nation’s mental health facilities. This new health data has been integrated into the iTriage mobile healthcare platform to help expand, improve and empower Americans to make informed healthcare decisions about mental health service providers. From the initial 2009 launch of iTriage on the iPhone® and later for Android™ devices, Healthagen has welcomed opportunities to work with government leaders to meet the growing mobile healthcare demands of Americans. Today, the company is a leader in healthcare consumer engagement and blazes a new trail with its proprietary Symptom-to-Provider™ pathway technology. “Solid data remains key to driving effective and efficient consumer healthcare action,” Hudson said. “As one of the first technology companies to utilize the massive government data releases, we applaud the efforts of the current administration for its public-private effort to stimulate innovation that will help improve the health of Americans.” In addition to serving all Americans on any mobile or Web browser at www.iTriageHealth.com, iTriage is also available to the growing number of users adopting new, cutting-edge mobile device technology such as iPhone, iPod touch®, iPad®, and Android™ smart phones and tablets.
