One of Health Data Consortium’s goals is to support entrepreneurs in driving innovations that help librate health data to improve health and health care.
We’d like to call out one such entrepreneur, iTriage. iTriage was an exhibitor at last year’s Health Datapalooza, and in fact, has been involved with Health Datapalooza since it was the HDI Forum. Their co-founder and CEO, Peter Hudson, was a featured speaker at our May 2013 Health Data Consortium Founders Event in Palo Alto, CA.
iTriage developed a fantastic mobile/web app that is on the forefront of using technology to enable better health and health care. It allows consumers to manage their own health care by identifying the health issue and potential solutions. Their app also helps providers improve health care delivery to patients and consumers. Their app is one of the top 5 health care and fitness apps downloaded by iPhone and Android users and is rated an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Last week, iTriage crossed some significant milestones, reinforcing their great work in the health data field. Just having passed their 5th year anniversary, iTriage had their 10 millionth download, received a nod as one of Colorado’s top startup companies of all time, and was awarded “Entrepreneur of the Year” by Colorado Technology Association, the organization’s most prestigious honor.
We are thrilled to see how iTriage is leveraging health data, and we’re excited to see companies like iTriage continue to create innovations that will drive the health data movement forward to improve health and health care.
