iHealth Partners with Evernote and Practice Fusion to Bring Doctors and Patients Better Data for Healthier Living.
Information from iHealth's wireless scales, blood pressure
monitors and other personal health devices will help consumers remember
everything and doctors to track health changes automatically.
iHealth Labs Inc., the pioneering designer and
manufacturer of mobile personal healthcare products for iPhone, iPad,
and iPod touch, today announced a new partnership with Evernote, the
company that's helping the world remember everything, and Practice
Fusion, the largest doctor-patient community. This new partnership lets
consumers track and share their results in Evernote, and enables the
efficient communication of relevant health information between patients
and their physicians in Practice Fusion.
"iHealth's products make it simple to track personal health
information, including weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and more
with easy-to-use devices that provide valuable information," said Adam Lin,
general manager of iHealth Labs. "But that information is even more
useful when paired with popular services such as Practice Fusion's
Electronic Medical Record, or Evernote's application which make it easy
to remember almost everything."
Evernote users will see their iHealth readings show up in their
personal Evernote account as a Results Card, with weight and BMI data
for scales, and systolic and diastolic readings along with pulse rate
for blood pressure. For blood pressure readings, the Results card also
displays a helpful graph showing relative results and level of
hypertension. Users have the ability to annotate the individual Results
Cards with additional information within Evernote. At the end of each
week, a summary card is generated in Evernote that shows the week's data
at-a-glance.
"Evernote puts all the information that's important to you at your fingertips via almost any device," said Alex Pachikov,
VP of Partnerships, Evernote. "Integrating with iHealth means important
health data can be saved alongside other relevant information in
Evernote. Through that context and instant accessibility, those metrics
become even more meaningful to users over time."
iHealth's new partnership with Practice Fusion will encompass two
initiatives to start. First off, medical professionals looking for ways
to empower their patients to track and improve their own health can now
provide them with special offers and access to order iHealth devices
directly through Practice Fusion. In the near future, the data tracked
by iHealth's products will seamlessly flow into the Practice Fusion
Patient Health Record (PHR), Patient Fusion, delivering a more complete
picture of a person's vitals and facilitating improved communication
between patients and their clinical care team.
"Practice Fusion enables the secure and speedy flow of electronic health records between patients and caregivers," said Todd Martin,
Senior Vice President of Business Development at Practice Fusion.
"Partnering with iHealth improves our offering by combining our shared
vision of efficient healthcare, where patients play an active role in
monitoring their health, are empowered with knowledge and can
communicate with their caregivers easily and efficiently."
iHealth Labs is demonstrating these new partnerships and their latest medical devices at the mHealth conference in Washington, D.C. this week, appearing in booth 1212.
