New AMITA Health App Lets Adults With Non-Emergency Conditions Get Care Quickly Through `Virtual Visits’
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL - AMITA Health has launched a user-friendly app that enables busy adults to meet virtually with a medical provider for fast diagnosis and treatment of common, non-emergency conditions such as coughs, colds and seasonal allergies.
rough the app, known as eAMITATM, patients can request a virtual appointment and can participate in a secure, two-way video conference with a medical provider, using the camera and microphone on a smartphone, tablet or computer. A er discussing and evaluating a patient’s condition, the provider
can send a prescription electronically to the patient’s preferred pharmacy, if necessary. e new service is available between 9 a.m. and
6 p.m. every day of the week; eAMITA users may submit an appointment request up to two hours before their desired appointment time. Each virtual visit costs $35.
Adults who are 18 or older can visit www. amitahealth.org/eamita, download the eAMITA web or mobile app, and use the app to set up an account. Users must provide their contact information, basic medical history, reason for seeking care, preferred pharmacy and payment information.
ey then can select a provider and request a visit. e provider will let the patient know when he or she is available for a visit, and they can connect through the app at the appointed time. A er the appointment a visit summary will appear in the patient’s eAMITA account and will be emailed to the patient.
eAMITA is ideal for those who don’t
have time to get to a doctor and need a fast, a ordable solution to a non-urgent condition. Conditions that can be treated through eAMITA include bronchitis, conjunctivitis (pink eye), coughs and colds, gout, heartburn, indigestion, in uenza, lower back pain, seasonal allergies, sinus and upper respiratory infections, skin conditions and urinary tract infections.
While allowing the medical provider to see the patient and evaluate his or her condition, eAMITA also enables the patient to upload photos for the provider, giving him or her additional visual information for a diagnosis.
“eAMITA medical care is provided by local physicians or advanced practice providers,” said Stuart Marcus, M.D., AMITA Health Chief Clinical O cer. “ is platform o ers
a more personalized approach to care than other programs that engage third-parties to support online or phone-based care.”
eAMITA works on model 4S and newer iPhones® or iPads® with at least iOS 8 or 9 installed, and on Androids with 4.0.3. or newer installed. To use eAMITA on a desktop computer, patients should make sure their computer has a webcam and microphone, and should use Chrome or Firefox as their browser.
eAMITA patients can use the service
only when they are in Illinois. Adults with conditions not covered by eAMITA, and children or adolescents who are 17 or younger, are ineligible for eAMITA. ese patients can request appointments by calling 1.855.MyAMITA (1.855.692.6482) or by visiting www.amitahealth.org.
eAMITA should not be used for emergency care. Anyone with a medical emergency should call 911 immediately. ●
