AbilTo Demos at August Health 2.0 NYC Meetup

Online, August 2, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (New York, NY) On Wednesday, August 18th, 2010, AbilTo LLC, the leading provider of team-based, face-to-face online therapy, will be holding a live demonstration of their user platform at the August edition of New York's Health 2.0 meetup, held at MultiVu at 350 Hudson Street, Suite 300, NYC. The event begins at 6:30pm and will also be simulcast live online.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in four adults have a behavioral disorder; many lack access to private, convenient and effective assistance. To overcome these hurdles, AbilTo programs connect a team, consisting of a qualified therapist and coach, with individuals suffering as a result of: common behavioral disorders, such as adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) and Panic Attacks; or life transitions, such as those experienced by new mothers returning to work. Each program offers clients a set price for a fixed duration program delivered on a convenient schedule, including evenings and weekends.

CEO Michael Laskoff will demonstrate how the company uses Web 2.0 applications to eliminate geographic barriers and fundamentally change traditional approaches to therapy. Using the full suite of APIs available via the TokBox Platform, AbilTo has been able to seamlessly integrate video communications into their web experience. The intuitive video chat capability allows AbilTo clients to meet virtually with a therapist, coach or both without having to download software.

This event is part of a series of monthly meetups organized by The New York Healthcare Technology Meetup Group. This group, which functions as the New York Health 2.0 chapter, is focused on discussing technological innovations that focus on the patient. Meetups contain a live demonstration followed by a moderated discussion on relevant topics. Questions regarding the event can be directed to organizers Alex Fair and Eugene Borukhovich, who can be contacted by visiting http://www.health20nyc.com/suggestion/.
