iTriage, a leader in medical apps for the iPhone® continues the steady progression of roll-out features in version 2.0, helping to make healthcare information more comprehensive for the user. By integrating images and videos into the latest version, iTriage provides visual medical information that can help confirm the need for treatment. When users search for something like brown recluse spider bite, they can have immediate visual confirmation that their symptoms are similar to what others have experienced.

Based on the iTriage concept that empowers consumers to be more pro-active in their healthcare, version 2.0 provides an even further connection between diseases and the specialists who treat them.

With iTriage 2.0, smartphone users can now take full advantage of healthcare information and provider search with these application enhancements:

• Markedly improved interface allowing faster access to medical information
• Hundreds of new diseases, conditions, symptoms, tests, procedures, and medical providers
• Integrated visual medical information
• Enhanced connections between diseases and procedures that lead the user to the best physician for a specific medical condition
• Largest mobile medical database available in the country
• Ability to share searched medical information and healthcare providers with friends and family

"Healthagen has built substantially more than a simple iPhone healthcare application. We believe that our applications, including this latest release for iPhone users, offer the most promising platforms for assisting and enhancing healthcare information and provider searches. The Healthagen development team designed iTriage 2.0 to more quickly respond to the way users naturally search for information about their symptoms and possible causes, and their need to access the most appropriate healthcare provider," explained Peter Hudson, M.D., CEO of Healthagen.

The iTriage app has been used by parents, individuals, medical personnel, business travelers and others needing mobile healthcare access.
