One of America's premier online/mobile resources for healthcare information and facility mapping, launches new iPhone upgrade to help users gain quicker access and more accurate healthcare provider results

LAKEWOOD, Colo., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthagen® today announced the immediate worldwide availability of iTriage® 2.0 as a free application on the iTunes® App store. The new version vastly improves the search capabilities for finding healthcare providers and better connects medical symptoms to the specific physicians who treat those conditions. This novel multi-function smartphone app serves as a healthcare compass, pointing healthcare consumers to a nationwide physician directory, while providing information on thousands of symptoms, diseases and medical procedures.

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.

This type of enhanced search is a complete paradigm shift for mobile smartphone users who require on-the-go access to healthcare information. 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. The iTriage 2.0 version is the latest addition to the suite of iTriage mobile tools for the iPhone, iPod touch® and Android™ smartphones, as well as for all Internet-enabled devices at www.iTriageHealth.com.
