Kaiser Permanente? , which hyped its mobile device app?s progress back in January before it had a lot to crow about, has some real numbers now.
To wit, the Oakland-based health care giant says 94,367 of its Android apps have been downloaded ? up from just 2,100 in late January. Meanwhile, 74,295 locator apps, used by Kaiser members to locate their nearest Kaiser hospital or clinic, have found their way onto mobile phones.
Altogether, Kaiser officials told the San Francisco Business Times April 26, visits to the mobile phone portion of its KP.org website, m.KP.org, accounted for 13.4 percent of total website visits in March.
Of those visits, 56 percent came from the Apple iOS platform and 41 percent from the Google Android platform, compared with a puny 2 percent for Blackberry and just 1 percent from the Windows Phone. That added up to an impressive 1.9 million ?hits? from smart phones, however, according to recent stories on the IT World and Network World websites.
Via email, Ravi Poorsina, communications manager for the project, said Kaiser is ?close to releasing an app for the iPhone, which we anticipate happening in the coming month or two.?
That sounds good, except that Kaiser head honcho George Halvorson told the Business Times in late February that Kaiser expected to launch an official iPhone app ?in a month or so,? so things are moving a little slower than expected.
Still, Kaiser Permanente has roughly 9 million enrollees nationwide, three quarters of them in the Golden State, and many of them presumably have iPhones and other varieties of smart phones, so the numbers seem likely to shoot up quickly once all the bugs are out.
