Modern mobile phones have changed a lot about daily life. As the medical software field gets privacy and security inline with regulatory requirements and establishes consumer trust the benefits and uses on your mobile can be truly amazing.

When I visit the doctor these days, I get a summary of the visit shortly after it concludes. It includes a written summary of the visit, items discussed and my vitals. This pops up on my phone. Not a sheet of paper that somehow gets lost between the office and the car. I now have the ability to go back in time to see test results, office visit summaries and medications prescribed.

The biggest advancement is access to your doctor, I can chat/message directly with her. No more calling into the office, waiting on availability and a call later. Now I can ask a question or get clarification on my visit or my progress and get a quick answer directly from the doctor. This level of access is game changing.

What’s exciting is that this is just the beginning. We have just scratched the surface and I can’t wait to see how this evolves.
