14 DAY TRIAL // iMobileHealth announced a website and an iPhone application that were set to become “the stethoscope of the 21st century,” according to an official report issued by the company today.
Noting that the stethoscope has been the quintessential object in a doctor’s toolkit, with the age of the Internet and fast-moving technologies enabling new ways to interact with patients, the iAorticValve application is said to allow doctors and patients to access and use critical aortic-valve information, and always have it at hand.
“The application will take information spread across different sources and create a portal for connection, feedback and better health decisions,” the iMobileHealth press release says. “Like all of the ten-plus applications iMobileHealth plans to release, the application is designed to remove barriers and provide access to valuable and reliable health information for doctors, patients and the entire healthcare community,” the company claims. According to the same report, the key features of the iAorticValve application include the ones listed below. Searchable database: Doctors and patients can find comprehensive information about all percutaneous, tissue and mechanical aortic valves available in the marketplace, searchable by valve name or device company.
My Profile creation: Doctors can enter specialties, specific procedures and valves they’ve used; patients can enter their condition(s), procedures and other details; both can enter contact information in order to facilitate patient-doctor connections and quick access to experts.
Physician information: Users can access a comprehensive listing of experts, which will also contain a searchable map of all cardiac surgeons or cardiologists, information on their experience and specialties, and contact information.
Blog: Users can plug in to recent news related to aortic valves, as well as original content including articles, interviews, comments and questions.
PubMed: Doctors can get direct access to white papers on health-related topics through pubmed.gov, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.
“It’s not just doctors and patients who will be impressed with the iAorticValve application,” iMobileHealth adds. “With navigational features that push the envelope, such as the new ‘wheel of fortune’ navigation featured in no other iPhone application to-date, mobile technology buffs will appreciate the application at interface level,” iMobileHealth asserts.
The iAorticValve application is immediately available for free download onto any iPhone or iPod touch model using the link below.
