Marketing Medical Devices: EndoGoddess App At Apple Store Pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jen Dyer gave up her practice to purse her entrepreneurial dream in the #mhealth space. Her new diabetes app, EndoGoddess, is now available at the Apple store. Dr. Dr. My new app for #diabetes provides REWARDS! Joe Hage: And you are part of some #mhealth organizations as I recall …? Dr. Joe Hage: Thanks. Dr. Joe Hage: How much motivation does the average diabetic need to monitor his/her glucose levels? Dr. Joe Hage: So family members would also have to download and pay for the app? Dr. Joe Hage: So the @EndoGoddess app users would email a link to their families to “sponsor” them by contributing to an iTunes account. Dr. Joe Hage: Do you have any research to support the idea that people with diabetes want to share their personal health data? Dr. Joe Hage: Can you talk to us about HIPAA implications? Dr. Joe Hage: Let me shift the conversation a bit. Dr. Joe Hage: Dr. Joe Hage: As I understand it, that’s where the telehealth monitoring service comes in. Dr. Dr.

Should Your Doctor Be Following You On Twitter? What a silly question. What doctor has time to follow patients on Twitter? Besides, healthcare is serious business and Twitter is mostly about frivolity, right? Not so fast, let’s think about it. Do you think the content of your Tweets is a reflection of your general state of health? I was thinking the other day about when my son was away at college. I recently became intrigued with free text analysis as a tool to learn more about an individual’s health. I’m intrigued because of my belief that analyses like this are probably a more accurate barometer of someone’s health than what we’d learn if we asked anyone of us a series of questions. Am I onto something? Apple changes mHealth game with HIPAA security claims Apple's claim that FaceTime video chat can be made HIPAA-compliant could be a game-changer for telemedicine specifically and healthcare generally. Apple officials just announced that with the right security configuration, FaceTime video chat sessions can be secured end-to-end, and at a level that will satisfy HIPAA requirements. That configuration does require a bit of advanced networking. To run the video chat sessions securely, you'll need a WPA2 Enterprise-enabled network that provides authenticated access. Sign up for our FREE newsletter for more news like this sent to your inbox! WPA2 Enterprise, however, uses 128-bit AES encryption, and Apple encrypts FaceTime sessions with unique session keys and a unique ID for each user. So even with Apple's curated development process, we expect to see telehealth developers migrating quickly to the iPad, iPhone, and other iOS platforms.

HiTech Solutions from Wildflower International, Ltd. Beacons: Beaming EKG Results to Emergency Departments By Ted Chan, MD I grew up watching the Star Trek television series and was always intrigued by the amazing technology that included phasers, warp speed, cloaking devices and the transporter – the fastest (and coolest) way of getting from point A to point B! “Beam me up Scotty” still comes to my mind as the iconic phrase that promises fast and immediate action in the most dire of circumstances. Today, the San Diego Beacon Community is implementing our own “beaming” technology with dramatic results. “Beaming” the EKGs and other relevant health information to the hospital while the patient is still miles away allows for the patient’s condition to be appropriately assessed by specialists before he or she arrives. As one San Diego patient has attested: “My ECG arrived to the ER before I did, and my doctor knew immediately that I was having a heart attack. Of course, not every patient with chest pain is having a heart attack. About San Diego Beacon Community Dr.

Obama's Push to Digitize Health Care Boosts Startups By Ari Levy President Barack Obama’s effort to bring the health-care system into the digital age is boosting a couple of software startups — ZocDoc and Practice Fusion — that are trying to do just that. ZocDoc, which lets patients book medical appointments via the web, said today that former Senate Majority Leaders Tom Daschle and Bill Frist have joined the advisory board to help the New York City-based company expand. Practice Fusion, meanwhile, announced today it raised $2 million in debt from a group of angel investors, following a $23 million round of financing last year. While companies big and small have spent years trying to crack the electronic medical records market, it was President Obama’s 2009 economic stimulus plan that sped up the process. ZocDoc is taking a bipartisan approach. “They know a lot about the existing health-care establishment,” said ZocDoc Chief Executive Officer Cyrus Massoumi. ZocDoc, founded in 2007, is used by about 800,000 people.
