Clinical documentation app launched

PatientNotes, the AI-driven platform for clinical documentation, has launched an iOS app.

The platform — already used by “thousands of health professionals Australia-wide from physiotherapists to psychologists, right through to arts therapists and veterinarians” — that helps practitioners improve healthcare delivery is now made even better with the flexibility and security of an app, said PatientNotes CEO Jason Smale.

The app been optimised for iOS facilitating smoother uploads, clearer audio inputs and a clean user interface.

“We know practitioners today are using Voice Memos on their personal iPhones, then sending around sensitive health information via messaging applications. It’s risky. PatientNotes provides practitioners a secure way to still use their personal devices on the go to capture sensitive health information about their patients,” Smale said.

PatientNotes is HIPAA compliant, meets the Australian Privacy Principles and ensures that no sensitive health data is left unsecured on iPhones.

“Whether quickly dictating notes down a hospital corridor, doing an in-home aged care visit or treating a client in a bustling gym, a dedicated iPhone app makes it easy for health professionals to then sync notes seamlessly across all their devices. Start on your phone, polish off on your desktop. No fuss, no lost notes,” said PatientNotes in a statement.

The company is inviting healthcare professionals to trial PatientNotes for free for 14 days and make the most of the new iPhone and iPad apps in their daily workflow.
