Lakewood, CO, January 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Demonstrating the demand for top tier medical content and consumer response to a breakthrough user experience, Healthagen® today announced that its free consumer healthcare app iTriage® has surpassed one million downloads in the past 12 months, placing it in the top one percent of all healthcare apps in all mobile markets. iTriage enjoys an active user base and has generated millions of page views per month. Additionally, iTriage is being used in more than 80 countries worldwide.

Consistently in the top 10 healthcare apps in the Apple® iTunes® App Store and currently being promoted in the Android™ Marketplace, iTriage enables users to easily search for symptoms, learn about possible causes, and most importantly take action by finding the most appropriate treatment. Launched first on the iPhone® in March 2009 and subsequently on Android™ in the summer of 2009, iTriage is also available on any mobile or desktop browser at www.iTriageHealth.com.

This announcement comes at a time of phenomenal growth for iTriage, which partners with some of the largest hospital systems, urgent care organizations and physician groups in the United States. These medical providers push expanded facility information through iTriage that integrates with the app’s comprehensive and actionable medical content.

“With iTriage, trips to the Yellow Page Directory to find a healthcare provider, or to a medical reference book is a thing of the past,” explained Wayne Guerra, M.D., MBA, Healthagen Chief Medical Officer. “Mobile adoption and activity continue to increase, making it a total paradigm shift that is here to stay.”

“Putting healthcare and provider information in the hands of one million people is significant in terms of advancing intelligent healthcare access,” explained Peter Hudson, M.D., CEO of Healthagen. “The interest in iTriage has exceeded our expectations and it’s been humbling to see how iTriage has affected so many lives, from parents quickly finding an ER for an injured child, to business travelers locating an urgent care for a sudden illness, and medical personnel embracing iTriage to educate and empower patients.”
