BioRx releases MyFactor app for Android

CINCINNATI, US: Building on its entrance into the mobile healthcare market in 2013, BioRx today announced the introduction of its MyFactor hemophilia app to the Android operating system from Google. The company is also near completion of a corresponding replacement of its iOS app so that it mirrors the Android’s layout and functionality.

Originally launched in October 2013 for Apple iPhones, MyFactor allows hemophilia patients to electronically record bleeding episodes and treatments, and facilitates easy sharing of information with their healthcare team, including physicians, pharmacists, nurses and care coordinators.

“We are very happy to offer the MyFactor app to Android users,” said Eric Hill, co-founder of BioRx. “Over the past year, hundreds of iPhone users have downloaded the app. With our expansion into the larger Android smartphone market, we expect that number to multiply greatly which will help us reach and support even more patients in the community.”

The new version of MyFactor includes basic improvements to the app’s visual design, user interface and report generator. More importantly, with the upcoming iOS app replacement, BioRx will have a common platform to release future enhancements that are currently in development, including the facilitation of two-way data exchange, secure cloud back-up, and integration with the BioRx pharmacy operating system. Planned for 2015, these features will be exclusive to BioRx customers.

The new Android platform is available for immediate download on Google Play. For more information, visit www.biorxhemophilia.com/myfactor.
