Trifolium Announces Web Initiative for Pogo Health

RALEIGH, NC - Raleigh-based Trifolium, Inc. announced today a partnership with Pogo Health of Durham, North Carolina. Under this partnership, Trifolium will design, develop, and implement a new web application to provide health and nutritional information for Pogo Health customers.

"The group at Trifolium has been integral throughout the analysis and implementation phases of developing our new web-based product," said Pogo Health founder Alicia Paladin. "At the core, Pogo Health is about culling through the vast universe of information related to nutritional supplements and distilling that information down into targeted, easy-to-use recommendations for individual consumers. And we need a robust, analytics-based system in order to deliver that service effectively" added Alicia.

The Pogo Health website will function primarily as a tool to help people who want to lead a healthy lifestyle. Pogo Health integrates information on a person's demographics, nutritional and supplement intake, daily medications and diseases/conditions and provides a risk and benefit analysis of supplement usage that is evidence-based and specific to their needs. Pogo Health provides customers with a series of reports containing information and advice on supplement usage and reviews of brands currently on the market for quality and purity. This service is also available to health-care providers and providers of corporate benefits.

When asked about the Pogo Health project, Trifolium President Stan Patterson stated, "Pogo Health represents a great opportunity for Trifolium to showcase our experience designing and building complex web applications. Alicia has an exceptional vision for her company and its products and services - but she needed a technology partner to help her bring that vision to fruition. Trifolium has the analytical and technical expertise to take Alicia's ideas and turn them into powerful, yet easy to use, web-based system.
