This is part of the vision of what our company is about, creating a new type of healthcare that is on the go for physicians:
At the health 2.0 conference we did a live demo for Essinova.com showing off how an iPad EHR works in a physicians office. Great fun!
Free iPad for doctors! DrChrono co-founders Daniel Kivatinos and Michael Nusimow show off their slick iPad App to me and Essinova audience. By the way, as you can see from their demo, Michael’s narration and Daniel’s fingers were so well-coordinated I wondered if there were wireless signals between their heads too. -BeiBei Song, Essinova Host
Sept 9, 2010 apple started to feature the drchrono.com EMR app! For more info click here!
Recently, Digg founder, Kevin Rose stated that iTV (the soon to be released upgrade to Apple TV) “will change everything”, and that we should expect the device’s release in September.
The rumor: Apple will be releasing a revamped/renamed version of their ‘Apple TV’ set-top box, called ‘iTV’. The box will run the Apple iOS (same as the iPhone/iPad), and be priced around $99.
I’m sure you are asking yourself, how in the world will iTV help healthcare? Well, it is simply one reason, iOS-based TV applications, simply put you can run your iTune apps though iTV. Imagine being able to view extremely high resolution images from iOS apps on the big screen? If a mobile iPad isn’t good enough for you and you need a bigger screen how does 52″ HD TV sound?
High resolution radiology images will look crystal clear, not to mention EKGs, sonograms, X-Rays … you get the idea.
Think about how the exam room can have an iTV hooked up so that the physician can show a patient all types of information, lab results, X-Rays, patient education videos all in real time.
Since iTV coming, the Dr. Chrono team is hard at work thinking of our we can use this new technology to enhance healthcare.
Doctors can prescribe drugs on an iPad! Patients can pick them up from any pharmacy. No paper involved.
Right now doctors are writing prescriptions on paper. This isn’t ideal. Paper gets lost, pharmacies might miss read hand writing and there are times when doctors aren’t aware of all of the drugs a patient is on, drug interactions are always a concern.
Imagine a future where there are no paper prescriptions, when there is no confusion on a doctors hand writing from a script and drug interaction issues are almost down to 0%. We are nearing that future with electronic prescription. On an iPad, a doctor has literally a pad that he can write a prescription within seconds and the patient can pick up the drugs from the pharmacy of choice. It is just that easy.
We are the first company to get eRx or electronic prescriptions on the iPad. Electronic prescription are a game changer in healthcare.
Below is a demo of eRx in action:
(As of Dec 2009, ~53k pharmacies which ~85% of all pharmacies in the US. are setup to get eprescriptions (eRx). SureScripts puts out an annual overview report of this.
