Responsive Health Flagship Product Prescription Universe featured on Marketplace Morning Report
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 11, 2017 -- Responsive Health, a spinoff from the Mount Sinai Health System, announced today that its flagship product Prescription Universe was featured on American Public Media's Marketplace Morning Report broadcast nationally on NPR's Morning Edition. Prescription Universe is the first enterprise platform for prescribing digital medicine.
“We were so thrilled when Dan Gorenstein asked to speak about Prescription Universe,“ said Ashish Atreja, MD, MPH, Chief Technology Innovation and Engagement Officer and Director of the Sinai AppLab, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, “It has been a many years journey to build Prescription Universe. To see care teams using it, and have major news talk about its value, makes us so proud.”
The Marketplace Morning Report focuses on the value of healthcare apps, pointing out that “apps can make a difference.” It provides an emotional example of one patient’s decade-long struggle with Crohn's Disease and how keeping tabs on her symptoms using an app helps avoid additional hospitalizations. The report goes on to say “physicians at 2/3 of the nation’s largest hospitals now want to prescribe apps” and discusses the difficulties patients have in finding the right app among the 265,000 healthcare apps available for smartphones and tablets.
The goal of Prescription Universe is to allow doctors to get the right healthcare apps into the hands of patients at the right time. “The bar for entry on Prescription Universe is so high, very few apps make it. FDA approval, clinical trials, security, HIPPA compliance are just some of the criteria.” says Ed Berde, CTO and Co-Founder of Responsive Health. “We know digital medicine can improve health. Unfortunately we have to overlook many great apps because they just can’t provide the evidence.”
