Emergency Center Offers Medical iPhone App

March 22, 2010 by Bellaire Essentials Staff 2 Comments

An emergency medical center close to Bellaire recently teamed with another company to provide local residents with a smart phone application that allows people to evaluate symptoms, learn about possible causes and find appropriate locations for treatment.

The EliteCare 24 Hour Emergency Center, located at 2500 Rice Blvd., near Kirby Drive and University Boulevard, is using a free application called iTriage for the iPhone and Google Android smart phones. EliteCare is open around the clock to provide the same emergency and urgent care available at a hospital’s emergency room.

“A lot of medical issues happen on the go these days and as an Emergency Room we felt it was essential in staying ahead of the curve to embrace this technology,” said EliteCare spokesman Greg Gossett in a statement. “iTriage makes it fast and easy for consumers to make informed medical decisions by putting a vast amount of information at their fingertips.”

An example of the benefit of using iTriage would be if a family member showed signs of bronchitis or has an unexpected injury, the iTriage application would help users quickly make informed decisions about the most appropriate response.

    Great idea. I’m always needing to find an urgent care or emergency room when I’m out with my kids at the soccer field. Having something that can give me more information is going to be great when I’m in different parts of Houston. This iTriage thing is going on my iPhone right now. Looks like it’s free, too! Even better.

    Thanks for the information! I downloaded it. It’s easy to use and a great tool to utilize when you are unsure whether you should make an appointment to see your doctor or immediately or go to the emergency room. There is even an option to e-mail your findings to a family member or friend.
