NEW LINE OF SOFTWARE BRINGS HOME HEALTHCARE TO THE LINUX WORLD

FireLogic, Inc., a software solutions company, announced today the release of the first in a new line of software products based on its HealthEngage Technology Platform.

“The power and stability Linux brings does not have to be constrained to the server and development market. There are over 100 million Americans who suffer from chronic diseases, hypertension, diabetes, etc. who must regularly use medical devices in their homes. They would greatly benefit by having a “home health station” in their living rooms.” said Michael Slage, FireLogic’s President.

HealthEngage-Asthma is a software application that allows users to track their health data using the home equipment they already have. Typically, asthma and chronic disease sufferers, are asked by their physicians to keep track of their peak flow meter readings, asthma attacks, and the medication they’ve taken using a paper diary. The patient would then bring that diary to their doctor for analysis. HealthEngage-Asthma eliminates the need for that paper diary. Now asthma sufferers simply enter their vital data onto the HealthEngage secure server, where it is stored for viewing by the patient, their caregiver, or their doctor.

The HealthEngageTM solution is a 100% Java web and wireless-web based suite of platform-independent applications designed with leading health experts to manage, collect, store, and chart vital health data. The Linux version has been optimized to run under the current JVM. The software comes bundled with the latest version of the JVM or can be downloaded without it.

According to FireLogic’s CEO Irena Slage, “HealthEngage is particularly well suited for children with asthma or other chronic conditions who are very comfortable with using computers and can feel more in control of their health management. Disease management using HealthEngage applications can enhance their quality of living, may detect early signs of a worsening condition, and help prevent hospitalization.”

“Health Data can be inputted from a variety of sources, Desktop, Laptop, Palm, or Mobile phone and then uploaded to a secure data repository which the user can then access to chart and analyze their condition. This multi-platform/multi-connectivity approach makes health management anywhere, anytime possible” said Michael Slage, FireLogic’s President.

Future versions of the HealthEngage will include Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Diabetes, Hypertension, and Weight Loss/Fitness Management.

HealthEngage Asthma for desktop and laptop is available for purchase and immediate download from the company’s web site http://www.HealthEngage.com. There is also a fully functioning 15 day trial version available for download.
