DSHI Systems Debuts FreeMD(R) the Web's First Virtual Doctor.


ORLANDO, Fla. -- DSHI DSHI Deck Starboard High  Systems, a physician-led medical technology company, has announced the release of www.FreeMD.com, a virtual doctor that conducts an interview, analyzes symptoms, and provides expert advice. FreeMD uses artificial intelligence to control a video doctor who asks questions and shows pictures. This revolutionary web site analyzes over 3,000 symptoms and injuries in infants, children, and adults.

"Consumers are on their own when making the decision to see a doctor," says Dr. Stephen J. Schueler, founder of DSHI Systems. "Do they go to the emergency room, urgent care center, doctor's office, or the nurse retail clinic? How does the average person know what to do?"

FreeMD's advice includes answers to:

* What might be causing my symptoms?

* Do I need to see a doctor?

* Where should I go for care?

* How do I care for myself?

Every FreeMD interview creates a web page that contains care instructions and a personal health record. Consumers may e-mail the record to their doctor or print a copy and take it with them. This helps consumers to be better prepared for a doctor visit.
