June 19, 2013
Info2cell.com,
the leading mobile service application provider in the Middle East, has
announced that it will be expanding the reach of its free medical
mobile applications for the region’s smartphone users with the signing
of two additional contracts in Egypt.
Last
year the company launched ‘Bio Lab,’ a medical application that helps
users keep track of their laboratory test results and take necessary
measures to treat their specific medical condition. Several medical
institutions and specialty laboratories have since singed up with
Info2cell.com for the unique service, and the company has revealed that
it is currently in talks with many labs across the GCC region to broaden
the reach of the app.
The
app enables users to view and store their lab results and even share
the information securely with their doctors via email. It keeps a
medical profile of the user; features a comprehensive database of local
and regional doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and health
insurance providers; it also can even alert users on the proper dosage
and frequency for their medication. The app also provides updates on
interesting news and valuable information pertaining to health and lifestyles.
These
mobile services are expected to gain greater traction in the Middle
East as the region’s governments continue to invest heavily on wellness
programs while bulking up their technology infrastructures.
Bashar
Dahabra, Founder and CEO, Info2cell.com, said, “The healthcare industry
today is in the midst of a mobile revolution, with the rapidly growing
adoption of latest mobile technologies to alleviate healthcare
standards. In line with this, Info2cell.com is constantly looking to
introduce various value-added services and applications to fill the gaps
in medical care. Today, doctors are increasingly using mobile apps to
boost their efficiency, while patients are relying on apps that give
them greater control of their overall healthcare routine. Our goal is to
provide a fast, reliable and efficient way to stay in touch, exchange
information and help patients to monitor specific aspects of their
health and take more responsibility for their well-being. Another
important use of medical apps is for people involved in medical research
as these apps can be a valuable source of information.”
