“The MountSinaiNY app is a digital gateway to the many services we provide at Mount Sinai,” said Kumar Chatani, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Mount Sinai Health System. “We continue to use innovative technology to engage patients while streamlining their experience within our health system.”
Initial features of the MountSinaiNY app include:

- Find a Doctor: Find physicians and request an appointment quickly for any specialty at any MSHS location

“We are developing innovative, user-friendly platforms to give our patients access to all our health system has to offer,” said Sandra Myerson, Senior Vice President and Chief Patient Experience Officer, Joseph F. Cullman, Jr. Institute for Patient Experience, Mount Sinai Health System. “The MountSinaiNY app will connect patients with our renowned physicians while enabling them to seamlessly manage key business matters.”
Future updates to the app may include enhanced telemedicine, way finding, symptom tracking, deeper Epic electronic health record integration, and emergency management features.
Mount Sinai partnered with LifeMap Solutions, a subsidiary of BioTime, Inc. (NYSE MKT: BTX), to develop the MountSinaiNY app. Mount Sinai has been working with LifeMap—the only commercial developer to participate in Apple’s ResearchKit launch—for more than two years, developing other mobile health apps together, including the Asthma Health and COPD Navigator apps.
“In co-developing MountSinaiNY, we have had the privilege of working once again with the innovative Mount Sinai leadership,” said Corey Bridges, CEO of LifeMap Solutions. “Even for a Silicon Valley company, it is rare for us to find a partner as forward-thinking as Mount Sinai. MountSinaiNY has been an opportunity for LifeMap to work with MSHS to directly empower patients, and it represents a new level of coordination between our two organizations.”
The MountSinaiNY app is available today for free on the Apple App Store and can be downloaded here.
