What does the application do?

Essentially this application allows a physician, physician’s assistant, nurse practitioner, or medical student to use their mobile phone to record the patient’s answers to various questions and directly produces a typed history and physical from said information. This application entirely eliminates the pen and paper step, the dictation step, and entering of the information into the electronic medical record. In this way, once a history and physical examination is conducted and briefly entered into the mobile application, no more time is wasted transferring this information between various platforms.

How was the application built?

Multi-platform, Titanium, 4week development, Android+iOS, dripping jQuery 2.1. Discovery phase, ideation, wireframes

How do you see new mobile technology used in the future?

Upon completion this application will be made available in both android and iPhone markets and therefore will be essentially available to all practicing physicians should they choose to download and utilize the software. I also have additional plans for the use of mobile platforms in streamlining data transfer in the healthcare system, the production of which will largely depend on the success of this app. Hospitals have largely changed to paperless medical charting, yet the availability of computer systems in the hospital setting remains limited and costly. I believe that a trend towards the use of mobile platforms throughout the healthcare systems will be seen in the very near future.

It is my hope that in the future this application will be integrated into multiple electronic medical record systems currently being utilized by hospitals across the nation. I feel that the benefit of this app to the healthcare system is that it allows the position to spend more time with the patient themselves and less time worrying about properly recording their discoveries.
