iTriageChilmark Research founder John Moore has a thorough review of the $0.99 iTriage iPhone application, which aims to "marry 'symptomitology' with diagnosis and from there recommended best care procedures/treatment plans and who is most appropriate to conduct those procedures for that given diagnosis," Moore wrote. 

In the end Moore concluded that the iTriage packs a lot of utility into a cheap application, which has "tons of promise for the future as [iTriage] expands partnerships and functionality... in its current form... a good app to have when traveling, and if having fallen ill with no idea where to turn - iTriage can be a great resource."

While the iTriage developers have plans to update the app at least two more times between now and the summer, Moore concludes by advising the company focuses on usability rather than adding more features.

"This app, in its current version, requires a sophisticated user and takes some practice (too much in our book) to navigate effectively," Moore wrote. "Let's hope those versions focus on usability, the GUI and better embedding of partner services, rather than adding anymore features of which they have plenty for now."
