TechCrunch.com Reports on Kaiser Permanente App

Check out our new app release the Kaiser Permanente Preventive Care iPhone app for Northern CA. This was a joint effort by Appstem and the Permanente Medical Group.

The app’s launch was covered by TechCrunch.com, in the following article by Rip Empson on Wednesday, January 25th, 2012.

“…Founded in 1945, California-based Kaiser Permanente is one of the largest not-for-profit managed care consortiums and health plan providers in the country, with 9 million members, nearly 170K employees, 15K physicians, 35 medical centers, and 430+ medical offices under its fold. Yesterday, the health care organization announced the release of a free Android app and mobile-optimized website through which its millions of members can access their own medical information on the go.

This means that Kaiser Permanente patients can get full access to the company’s health record system and all that comes with it, which they already could do through kp.org, from their mobile devices. In 2011, Kaiser more than 68 million lab test results available online to their patients, and through the Android app and mobile web app, patients can now get 24/7 access to lab results, diagnostic information, direct and secure email access to doctors, schedule appointments, and order prescription refills.”
