LifeMap Solutions and Mount Sinai Health System launched the MountSinaiNY app for Android devices. Originally an iOS exclusive, the application provides patients with a centralized access to Mount Sinai Health System information and services.

“With MountSinaiNY, we’ve brought our expertise in building user-friendly apps to the Android platform to reach a larger patient population,” Corey Bridges, CEO of LifeMap Solutions, said in a statement. “Reaching diverse populations is a key promise of the mHealth revolution, and we’re proud to play a role in making that a reality. Expanding into the Android market will improve the quality of large-scale research studies and the impact of clinical care apps.”

MountSinaiNY offers users a variety of features, including general facility information, appointment booking, bill pay, and access to patient medical records. Future updates will include telemedicine capabilities, wayfinding, and enhanced access to Mount Sinai services.

“Offering MountSinaiNY on Android devices allows more patients to seamlessly access their health information, communicate with their physician, and schedule appointments,” Bruce Darrow, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Information Officer at Mount Sinai Health System, said in a statement. “This launch is the next step in helping our patients leverage the power of their mobile devices to improve their care.”

Previously, Mount Sinai and LifeMap Solutions worked together to launch Asthma Health, one of the first apps built using Apple’s ResearchKit platform, and COPD Navigator. This is the first app co-developed by Mount Sinai and LifeMap Solutions to be launched on Android.
