The document discusses using mobile apps to improve doctor-patient communication and help patients better understand their conditions. It describes an app called the iP Voiding Diary that allows patients to track symptoms, drinks, urination, and urine loss to monitor conditions like overactive bladder. The app generates reports to share with doctors to improve care and treatment through better data and understanding of the patient's condition. Developing digital tools is presented as a way to reinvent healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.
OmniPACS has developed an online social network called OmniPACS that extends picture archiving and communication systems capabilities to connect patients, doctors, and healthcare organizations over the internet to improve patient care and outcomes. They are seeking investment and business partnerships to expand their digital healthcare platform and change the industry.
