iTriage is an acute care decision tool that takes users from their symptom to the appropriate medical provider using the latest mobile and on-line technologies. While initially built for consumers, iTriage is a tool EMTs across the country are finding useful. iTriage is free to use and can be downloaded on the iPhone (http://bit.ly/6zeLiG) and Android stores, or simply put www.iTriageHealth.com into any smartphone or computer browser to access all the features. As an EMT you can:
- Get the differential diagnosis of over 300 symptoms
- Learn about 1,000 diseases including the medical work-up, treatment, and the correct specialist needed
- Find the appropriate level of care for each disease from a database including every ED, urgent care clinic, retail clinic, physician, and pharmacy in the U.S.
- In selected areas see real ER wait times (search zip code 33180 for an example, more EDs to follow)
- See images, videos, latest news and latest research on diseases and procedures
- All in the palm of your hand
