The client was passionate about simplifying patient journey, and on the lookout for a reliable IT partner who could develop a mobile application to manage health. The solution would be used to collect user health parameters from the comfort of their homes using monitoring devices and wearables. The solution would relay this information to their physicians. This time period could also be based on the user decision.

The Challenge

A PHR is a tool that used to collect, track and share past and current information about individual health. All individuals should have immediate access to an accurate, reliable and complete PHR. They must have the control over how personal health information is accessed, used, and disclosed. A PHR may be separate from and does not normally replace the legal medical record of any provider.

Our Solution

Experion came up with a mobile solution that enabled users to share personal health information with their physicians. The project involved the development of a mobile-based Personal Health Record application(PHR)for end users. The application stores health information (allergies, medications, test results, consultation summaries, emergency contacts, medical appointments, prescriptions, reminders, etc.) in one secure location. The solution is also integrated with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems using HL7 standards.
