FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Sharon Pizer FIRELOGIC AND BREATHEFREE.COM JOIN FORCES TO HELP ASTHMA SUFFERERS (ARLINGTON, VA and CERRITOS, CA)FireLogic, the makers of HealthEngage Asthma, is celebrating its partnership with Breathfree.com, an e-tailer catering to the needs of asthmatics and other respiratory illnesses. The two companies have joined forces to allow patients to shop for necessary healthcare products on one web site. There are 17 million asthmatics in the United States and 150 million worldwide. FireLogic began in 1998 and is comprised of scientists, physicians, and other professionals dedicated to helping chronically ill patients better manage their healthcare. The HealthEngage software allows asthmatics to collect, store and chart vital health information. It can be used on computers, handheld devices and web-enabled cellular phones. The concept for the product came about as a result of the President of FireLogic's work at NASA on the Telemedicine Program which monitors astronauts' health while in space. The company has recently opened a West Coast office in the Bay Area and has plans to release future products which address the needs of diabetes, hypertension and chronic fatigue syndrome. Breathfree.com is a division of U.S. Medical Services and features 24/7 live customer service, the largest product selection and a guaranteed 'lowest prices' policy. The site also serves as a gateway to products, research data, reviews, articles, radio and television interviews, and comparative purchasing information for consumers. The company will be introducing the HealthEngage software to its affiliates next week. These affiliates include over 8000 webmasters who offer specials to their readers on Breathefree.com products. Among the affiliates are Publishers Clearing House, BizRate.com, iGive.com and MyPoints. This program reaches approximately 500,000 viewers each month. Breathefree.com will also advertise HealthEngage on AOL Shop @, MSN Eshops, AltaVista Shopping.com, MySimon, GoTo, and many others.
