This is off-topic and I couldn't really figure out what it is that eligibleapp does, but why would they not come out with a web app first? Restricting whatever it is they're doing to the iPhone seems shortsighted.
I'm trying to figure out what additional value Eligible's supposed to add that outweighs just logging into your insurance company's website. And how they're supposed to make a profit.
Agreed. But if it's not restricted to the iPhone, there are already competitors out there such as cake health and simplee. It could be useful for physicians who are in the hospital or skilled nursing setting and want to check insurance eligibility.
But much of today's health care work is desktop related, and there's so much opportunity for disruption there that it's important not to overlook it all and head straight for mobile apps.
