DrChrono Preps EHR, PHR for Apple Watch

“With close to 70,000 physicians and more than 4 million patients registered on the drchrono platform, he said, both groups are poised to enjoy the benefits of this unique way of interaction.

“This is a completely new experience,” he said. “For the first time, doctors are going to have information given to them with their hands free: A doctor could be administering a shot, picking up a child, moving an elderly person – looking at the information while doing whatever it is they need to do.”

Likewise, said Kivatinos, patients should be drawn to experiencing their personal health records through a device on their wrists, using drchrono’s app to schedule appointments, get medication reminders and manage their chronic diseases: “Apple creates a very nice experience for patients. It’s not just about usability, it’s about enjoyment.”

The app will enable docs to view a patient information at a glance, respond to messages via quick text and see eRx refill requests – offering a wearable extension of the drchrono iPhone and iPad apps, according to drchrono.
