    PRWeb – Mon, Feb 6, 2012

    Smartphone app lets users search symptoms, causes, and find closest medical care

    Oklahoma City, OK and Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

    First Med Urgent Care today announced a partnership with iTriage® – a one-stop healthcare app that lets users instantly find information about specific medical conditions and locate nearby healthcare providers from any location. With U.S. smartphone ownership now topping 40%, according to a Pew Internet survey, the partnership enables First Med Urgent Care to connect with smartphone-toting patients when they have an immediate medical need.

    Launching the iTriage application for all of their Oklahoma City metro area facilities allows First Med Urgent Care to provide patients in the community with the resources to quickly make the most informed decision about a medical condition when unexpected injuries and illnesses occur. iTriage also lets users:


    •     Find specific First Med Urgent Care locations with turn-by-turn directions using GPS capabilities, services provided, hours of operation, and additional clinic information.

    •     Research medical symptoms

    •     Learn about possible causes and treatment options

    •     Obtain medication information for treatment of a specific condition

    “Patients are relying on their smartphones more than ever to find information quickly,” said Todd Lechtenberger, First Med Urgent Care CEO. “Our partnership with iTriage lets us connect with the residents and visitors in our community at their exact time of need.”

    iTriage is available as a free download for iPhone® and Android™ phones, and is also accessible from any Internet-enabled device at http://www.iTriageHealth.com.
