Specifically apps and Saas to help patients and doctors interact and keep track of progress made. There are some out there like Practice Fusion, but that is a broad platform. What are some smaller services needed out there. I ask because my girlfriend is applying for med school and this field interests me.
My roommate is a doctor, and I've been having some discussions on this topic lately.<p>The biggest concept is to use technology to support the existing dr's workflow. This can vary, a lot, between different types of doctors.<p>The thing he most often comments upon is the text replacement feature for his office's electronic records. He can type "issued XYZ medication due to past history of .HT." and the system will automatically insert the relevant heart history information (maybe a recent test reading, etc.) into the record.<p>Saves him time in recording info into the patient records. That seems to be his #1 desire for better tech -- saving time. And making complete entry into the medical records is a good place to work, as it solves a frustration that already exists.
Hmm. That's a pretty broad and open-ended question. Are you asking out of idle curiosity?<p>There are lot of software companies in the medical "industry" as it is. What are your interests?
