Custom health communications company StayWell Custom Communications (SCC), a division of MediMedia USA, has announced an exclusive strategic alliance with Self Care Decisions, LLC, a provider of decision-support care guides for consumers via the Internet and mobile applications.
Through this strategic alliance, StayWell Custom Communications will be offering a range of online applications for health care providers and payor organisations designed to guide consumers to the appropriate response to common health care issues. These tools will be offered by SCC in addition to the already impressive collection of solutions currently being used by its hundreds of health care clients. The Self Care Decisions tools, which can be custom branded to the sponsoring client organisation, provide people with decision support and care advice for common health symptoms and minor injuries via the Internet and their handheld devices.
The applications include HouseCalls Symptom Checker, an online decision support and care advice tool; and SymptomMD, an iPhone/iTouch application that puts symptom decision support in a consumer's pocket. The tools provide valuable information to consumers to help them self-manage their own health care, reduce unnecessary office visits, save them time, worry, calls to physicians, and avoid after-hour trips to urgent care facilities.
Clients who use these online tools have the ability to package and brand each solution to their own organisation to make it a totally custom offering. The iPhone/iTouch application can even be programmed to guide consumers to the sponsoring organisation's selected providers for care.
