SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) November 20, 2013
HouseCall, the app for your house, announced the launch of its services in San Diego today, with more markets coming soon. HouseCall takes the hassle out of home maintenance by connecting users to trusted neighborhood service professionals (Pros) at the push of a button. Homeowners can order everything from an electrician, emergency plumber to tech geek support. This video shows just how easy HouseCall makes it.
HouseCall identifies and then curates independent service Pros in a homeowner’s neighborhood and makes them easy to find, so they don’t have to. No more spending hours reading online reviews, asking for recommendations and then negotiating prices. With HouseCall users select the service they need, view picture profiles and ratings of available Pros in their area, and the fixed-price they charge. HouseCall gives homeowners a seamless way to book and pay for both scheduled, and on-demand, home improvement help from trusted Pros.
“We built HouseCall because we had the same problem that every homeowner has – it’s tough to find good, reliable, local help,” said Ian Heidt, CEO and co-founder of HouseCall. “HouseCall puts reviews and prices in one spot and users are kept up-to-date on the status of a job from start to finish. We are bringing ease and transparency to the world of local home services.”
In just a few easy steps, homeowners can order the following services: Audio & TV, Carpet Cleaning, Electrical, Handyman, Landscaping, Maid Service, Painting, Plumbing, Security System Consultation and Install, Smart Home Setup, Tech Help, Windows & Exterior and Holiday/Seasonal Tasks (hanging Christmas lights). HouseCall is constantly adding new services and taking user suggestions for services they’d like to see.
1) Download HouseCall in the App Store on their iPhone.
2) View the profile, job details, and prices of nearby local Pros.
3) Schedule service or get on-demand help.
4) When a Pro is en-route, users will see them on a map. Once the job is completed to the user’s satisfaction, payment is processed automatically with the credit card they have on file. There is no need to tip.
5) Wrap it up with a rating of the service. Ratings can only be done by people who have actually used a service Pro to ensure they are fair.
There are also many benefits to Pros who use the app. Most importantly, HouseCall makes it easier for Pros to find additional work by connecting them to a marketplace of homeowners and jobs. Pros see nearby service requests and can also get local work during their downtime. It also helps them manage their workflow with easy-to-use scheduling tools, helps them form the connection with new and returning clients, and provides automatic payment and streamlined digital invoices for every job.
“The Pros version of HouseCall allows home service professionals to book more jobs by giving them the mobile tools to do so,” said Roland Ligtenberg, co-founder of HouseCall. “We bring real-time opportunities to our Pros, organize schedules, generate invoices, and process payments so that they can focus on completing jobs and making HouseCall users happy.”
HouseCall was founded by a team of mobile technology innovators who simply wanted a better way to maintain their homes. Prior to founding HouseCall Ian Heidt, Adam Perry-Pelletier, Chris Zwickilton, Roland Ligtenberg, and Reza Olfat pioneered smartphone technologies together as a team at Qualcomm. They also helped found the company’s experimental division, Qualcomm Labs, an incubator focused on leading innovation in new wireless product development and developed the groundbreaking Gimbal platform.
HouseCall is funded by a global venture capital group, e.ventures, who were initial investors in companies such as Angie’s List and Groupon. Their advisors include the San Diego general manager of Uber and former general manager of new products at Service Magic (now HomeAdvisor). HouseCall is also a member of EvoNexus, San Diego’s only community-supported, fully pro-bono technology incubator.

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) May 19, 2013
Reliable and practical office-based measurement of cognitive function has become critical for healthcare and disease management programs involving psychiatric and neurological disease. NeuroTrax Corporation, a pioneer in web-based cognitive assessment since 2000, is creating a next-generation service to help healthcare practitioners and organizations to more quickly and accurately assess cognitive status.
From its booth (#847) at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association this week in San Francisco, NeuroTrax will be conducting a specialized survey to tap-in to the impressive “brain power” and experience of the more than 13,000 psychiatrists, neurologists and other professionals expected to attend the event from all over the world.
Using results from the survey, along with a strong scientific foundation of 70 peer-reviewed articles developed over years for its popular MindStreams service (http://www.neurotrax.com), NeuroTrax will complete the development of Insight™, a suite of services for evaluation of conditions ranging from memory complaints common to the elderly, to adolescent/adult attention issues.
Planned for international release later this year, Insight will be the world’s first online cognitive testing service to provide professional data review reports from trained cognitive testing experts.
Insight is designed to deliver accurate, valid cognitive functioning assessments, providing a comprehensive brain health report across multiple cognitive domains. Administered in a medical office setting with only minimal supervision required, the test is designed for patients of a wide age range, with or without prior computer experience. Test results, along with a professional report from a cognitive expert, are expediently generated by the service.
“Over the years, we have seen an increased awareness of the importance of obtaining a clear snapshot of the patient’s cognitive status as an important extension of the neurological examination. However, too many patients with complaints of poor memory or difficulty concentrating do not have access to quality testing,” said Ely Simon, M.D., a board certified neurologist and creator of Insight. “By combing the results from our survey, new technology, and a body of science and research developed over many years, we aim to create a new generation of readily accessible cognitive testing and expert reporting, which will benefit practitioners and their patients.”
ABOUT NEUROTRAX
NeuroTrax Corporation was founded in 2000, driven by the vision of elevating the standard of patient care. The company delivers quality cognitive testing products and services to the medical community. With careful attention to cutting edge technology and critical scientific studies, NeuroTrax has succeeded in leading the way in this growing field.

The Virtual Insurance Marketplace offers everyonefrom presidents, CEOs and insurance agency principals to insurance brokers and agents and office staffthe opportunity to check in during the three-day event. Registration is free; lifted cost restrictions open up the tradeshow to those who often do not have the luxury of attending them, including CSRs.
One of the many great attributes of a virtual tradeshow is that you can have several or all of the people from your office attend, reports Anita Nevins, founder and organizer of the Virtual Insurance Marketplace. CSRs rarely get the chance to leave the office and talk with markets at tradeshows. With a CSRs involvement in the day-to-day operations of an agency, they may look at products and services available to them with a different view than the agency principal or management team. A virtual tradeshow opens up so many opportunities for retail agencies to optimize their time and conserve their budget.
Sponsors and exhibitors at the 2012 Virtual Insurance Marketplace will be targeting many of the insurance materials and presentations in their booths directly at this important subset of the insurance industry.
Safeco CA Personal Lines will be exhibiting at the show in February. Kimberly Kunody, Marketing Director, had this to say about the value they see in customizing their booth to reach the CSR: CSRs are on the frontlines talking to customers and representing our products every day; therefore, we place great significance on providing the necessary education and accurate information to this audience. The Virtual Insurance Marketplace is the perfect vehicle to communicate to CSRs in an effective and efficient manner.
Another top-name exhibitor, Foremost Insurance Group, will also be focusing many of their materials on reaching CSRs. At Foremost, we have always recognized the important role that CSRs hold in independent agent operations, states Jeff Bair, Executive Director IA Operations. The Virtual Insurance Marketplace not only provides an efficient way for CSRs to interact with companies, but also a medium to easily get information to support their agencies and their work efforts.
The upcoming Virtual Insurance Marketplace will take place on February 810, 2012. Registration for the event is free to all attendees. Visit http://www.webdcmarketing.com to learn more. Register at: http://virtual-insurance-marketplace.webdcmarketing.com
The Virtual Insurance Marketplace is brought to you by Direct Connection Advertising & Marketing, LLC, an agency that specializes in insurance and social media marketing, planning and services. For media information, visit http://www.webdcmarketing.com/media
