FireLogic Works Strategically with the Pocket PC 2003 Software to Help Asthma Sufferers Breathe Easier

October 4, 2001--FireLogic, Inc., a software solutions company, announced today the release of the first in a new line of healthcare software products for the Pocket PC 2003.

“Pocket PC 2003-based handheld devices allow people to carry and access their most critical information with them wherever they go. There are over 100 million Americans who suffer from chronic diseases, asthma, hypertension, diabetes, etc. who must regularly use medical devices in their homes.  They would greatly benefit by using HealthEngage and a Pocket PC 2003 device to keep track of their health anywhere at any time,” said Michael Slage, FireLogic President.

Typically, asthma and chronic disease sufferers, are asked by their physicians to use a paper diary to keep track of their peak flow meter readings, asthma attacks, and medication.  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 their Pocket PC 2003 device.  They can then either bring their Pocket PC 2003 device with them to their doctor's appointment, or synchronize it with their desktop version of HealthEngage and print out charts, graphs and reports to bring to their doctor’s.  Or using the desktop software, pateints can upload information to a HealthEngage secure server, where it is stored for viewing by the patient, their caregiver, or their doctor via the Internet.

"Pocket PC 2003 has a great advantage in the marketplace because it is designed to be the most connected and expandable PDA available,"said Doug Dedo, Lead Product Manager for the Mobility Division at Microsoft Corp. "We are pleased that FireLogic is taking advantage of the new feature functionalities of Pocket PC 2003 with its introduction of Health Engage Asthma that will benefit users by allowing asthma and chronic disease sufferers to track their health data."

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 prevent hospitalization."

HealthEngage Asthma has been developed to conform to the National Institute of Health (NIH) guidelines for asthma management in coordination with leading asthma physicians and medical professionals to provide the most valuable tool for asthma treatment and management available. HealthEngage Asthma is the only software application currently available that allows asthmatics to collect, manage, view peak flow measurements, medication requirements, and personal observations or notes.

HealthEngage Asthma for Pocket PC 2003 is available for purchase and immediate download from the company’s web site http://www.HealthEngage.com.  FireLogic will release software for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Diabetes, Hypertension, and Weight Loss/Fitness Management in the near future.
