Posted in Commentary with tags on February 8, 2018 by itnerd

Knox Spencer Associates, LLC, has announced its release of a new website and mobile app that give users access to doctors’ reports from across the nation so that they can personally manage their exposure to common and potentially serious illnesses by tracking where they happen and when they are happening.  The website and app, called Doctors Report  Illness Tracker, is available as a free download now.

Because it comes directly from doctors’ reports (with all personal information removed and “de-identified”), the information is accurate, timely, credible and accessible.  This disruptive website and mobile app puts the most current, reliable information on current spreading health risks in the pockets of millions thanks to its simple, intuitive and trustworthy data – actual data from doctors’ reports generated in almost one million doctors’ offices across the country.  Users can instantly find out where the most common and prevalent infectious health risks exist right down to their zip code.

The Doctors Report app is powered by the same data that health providers and others have used to understand and analyze outbreaks of contagious diseases and other spreading health risks.  The Doctors Report website and mobile app allow users to track the following diseases: flu, flu A, strep, bronchitis, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, mononucleosis, common cold and cold symptoms, sinusitis, croup, Lyme disease, otitis media or ear infection, MRSA, RSV, and gastroenteritis.

The Doctors Report website and mobile app platform is powered by the same data stream that flows from doctor visits nationwide.  That data stream is characterized by diagnosis codes that are automatically processed by the Doctors Report proprietary platform so that users can find out what common health risks exist where they are and where they are going.

Thanks to the Doctors Report website and mobile app, users can find out where the flu or MRSA, for example, is strongest in their own towns, or in the places they plan to visit in the coming days, and they can break it down by age group: infant; toddler; school age; teen; college age; adult; and older adult.

The website and app are available as a free download via the App Store, Google Play and Amazon.  It is also available at the company website, www.doctorsreport.com.
