Phreesia

Phreesia is a free patient-intake solution for doctors and patients to electronically store and enter health data. Phreesia, Inc. is a privately-held company founded in 2005 by Chaim Indig and Evan Roberts. The company is based in New York City and has less than 100 employees.

Phreesia replaces a standard doctor's office clipboard with a PhreesiaPad – a colorful touch-screen wireless device reminiscent of an etch-a-sketch. Patients check-in using the PhreesiaPad to fill out the necessary medical records and patient history intake forms. Offices manage their patients' private health data using a back-end web portal. Phreesia offers both ad-sponsored and free educational health content on the PhreesiaPad once a patient has completed an intake form.
