Stanford Health Care has unveiled a new mobile health app that connects with its Epic EHR system and Apple’s Health Kit, along with other cloud services for patient health and data monitoring.
Developed by in-house engineers, the MyHealth mobile app is iOS 8 ready and is geared toward letting patients conduct a number of tasks. They include appointment scheduling, getting lab and test results and communicating through secured messaging with providers.
The app is also capable of enabling video visits with providers through its “Clickwell Care” clinic, which provides for “virtual appointments.” Users can also manage prescription and medications, view health summaries, access and pay bills and share vital signs with doctors via HealthKit, according to Stanford Health.
When Investment Rhymes with Canada
Canada has a proud history of achievement in the areas of science and technology, and the field of biomanufacturing and life sciences is no exception.
In addition, the app automatically syncs with wearable and wireless product, and thatt data is automatically and securely added to the patient’s chart in Epic for their physician to review remotely.
“The SHC MyHealth app allows patients to connect their lives with their health care,” said Pravene Nath, MD, chief information officer at Stanford Health Care, in a statement. “By integrating with companies like Withings, our physicians have access to meaningful patient data right in Epic, without having to ask the patient come in for an appointment. We believe this is the future of how care will be delivered for many types of chronic conditions.”
