CareSync 2.5 App Combines Wearables Data With Medical Records
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) September 24, 2014 -- Imagine a doctor’s appointment where the patient is the carrier of his comprehensive health record. His medication list and summaries of his medical activity since his last visit were sent over yesterday. The doctor questions his blood pressure value, and the patient produces a report of his readings at home for the last three months. Instead of asking the patient to come back for another reading, the doctor consults his medication list, and prescribes a treatment plan immediately. Imagine a medical visit where, by connecting people and data, everyone has a better experience.
This experience is a reality today, as CareSync announces measurement tracking with device integrations in the CareSync personal health application. The release combines users’ complete medical histories from their providers with behavioral data collected from vitals trackers, wearable devices, and enhanced with self- and family-input behavioral data measurements such as pain and emotions, and as always, it is easily shared with family, caregivers, and providers.
The initial rollout of CareSync Measurements includes tracking for blood pressure, weight, and glucose, and a pain scale and journal for daily well-being documentation. Upcoming releases will incorporate more wellness, fitness, and lab data, along with the ability to compare measurement values.
"Truly patient-centric healthcare is now possible for the first time," said CareSync CEO Travis Bond, a healthcare innovator and frequent speaker on the need for patients, their families and caregivers, and their doctors having the best possible information to make the best possible medical decisions. "CareSync does all the work of gathering, tracking, and sharing complete and meaningful information from medical visits, and all the important things that happen between visits."
CareSync has partnered with industry-leader Validic to offer seamless integrations with over 80 mHealth apps and tracking devices, including:
BodyMedia, FatSecret, Fitbit (Aria), iHealth, RunKeeper, VitaDock and Withings for weight tracking. ManageBHL, TelCare and VitaDock for glucose measurements. Fitbit, iHealth, Withings and VitaDock for documenting blood pressure.
Additional devices will be added in upcoming releases.

CareSync also has low-cost personal services, beginning with a one-time fee of just $99, in which CareSync health assistants find client's medical records, organize them, and put them on the CareSync secure app.
