Today a startup called Glide Health announced a new platform that will allow doctors and patients to access health records across mobile and desktop platforms.
Recognizing the needs for both patients and physicians to have access to the same information, Glide Health proposes a system that offers unique features for each group.
“Via the mobile app and browser, doctors can manage patient records and health history as well as save any communication about patients between other doctors and professionals. Doctors can also schedule appointments from mobile phones, prescribe medications and write prescriptions directly to pharmacies from the mobile app. Doctors can submit dictations to the Glide Health platform via the mobile app, which will then be transcribed.
“On the patient side, the mobile app lets users travel with their complete medical history and records wherever they go. The patients can also document and archive any communications with doctors and healthcare professionals as well as access WebMD-like information about personal health and fitness, health news, support groups, insurance policies and health facilities based on GPS location.
While personal privacy is always an issue when it comes to medical records, Glide Health was developed specifically to ensure security of private information.
Individuals will have complete access to their medical history and transactions in case of emergency, and the use of the mobile platform also makes it easier for them to tap into support networks as they desire.
