HealthLoop Integrates with Apple's HealthKit Enabling Patients to Share Health Data with Their Doctors Right from their iPhone

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthLoop® released an app version of its doctor-patient platform today, which integrates with HealthKit in iOS 8 and allows people to share medical device and activity data with their doctors. The app harnesses native iOS technologies to enhance the HealthLoop experience for iPhone users, enabling patients to maintain a robust connection with their doctors between visits.

"This new flood of wearable health devices and the data they collect is exciting," says HealthLoop founder Dr. Jordan Shlain. "HealthLoop wraps these streams of biometric data with clinical context, giving us deep insight into the status of our patients. As a doctor, HealthLoop makes this deluge of new information actionable for my team and engaging for my patients."

HealthLoop gives doctors the power to guide and support patients through every step of their healthcare journey, keeping the entire medical team informed and "in the loop." Patients check-in virtually, using the HealthLoop app to engage in an interactive digital dialog that tracks clinical progress, sets expectations, encourages self-care activities, answers common questions, and monitors clinical areas of concern.

With mobile access to their doctors, patients avoid the hassle of waiting on hold and enjoy the confidence of knowing that their medical team is informed and always within reach.

"We're thrilled to help doctors and patients make use of mobile health devices," says Todd Johnson, CEO of HealthLoop. "By coupling biometric data with virtual check-ins, we have an unprecedented opportunity to understand the 'arc of recovery' and discover which pathways lead to the best outcomes."

The HealthLoop app is available for free from the App Store on iPhone or at www.AppStore.com. Activation is by prescription only from doctors and healthcare organizations who utilize the HealthLoop platform.
