HealthSync iPhone application introduced by Gigabit

Nov 03, 2009 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Smartphone application developer Gigabit announced on Tuesday the availability of HealthSync, an iPhone application that offers personal medical records management, maintenance and tracking for individuals and families.

The company said the application is particularly suited for those managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or allergies, which require frequent monitoring and regular physician visits and treatments.

HealthSync stores medical records information, including age, vital signs, medications, allergies, immunisation records and appointments.

Data is input directly into the iPhone by the user and securely stored locally within the device. The application can store multiple patients per user, making it suitable for families managing the health of young children or elderly relatives.

The application also provides access to prescription drug information, such as possible side effects and drug interaction warnings. Names of more than 3,000 drugs are populated via a choice list table in the patient data interface.

Future HealthSync versions are also planned to support data sharing capabilities, which will enable patients to manage their health records via the Google Health web-based interface, the company said.

HealthSync is available for USD2.99 through the iTunes App Store in the 'Medical' and 'Health & Lifestyle' categories. The company also announced it is holding a draw to give away an Apple iTouch. To register to win the iTouch, consumers need to visit http://gigabitt.blogdns.com/.
