mHealth Apps: Real-Time Patient Information for Transitions-of-Care

The application is power by our dedicated HIPAA compliant servers and all communication is secured by 256-bit SSL encryption. The iPad and web applications both have an idle timeout period of 20 minutes per HIPAA regulations, after which the user is logged out of the system and all of the patient data is destroyed. Additionally, our system is equipped with geo-location based security which allows an administrator to define a radius around an address where a user is allowed to log into the system. This is useful when an organization only wants users to access the sign out data at the facility.

5) What would you do with the Phase 2 prize money if you won? How would you enhance the app?

The money would go toward adding more ambitious features to our software, promoting the system, and expanding the dedicated device support to other operating systems like Android and Windows 8. We’ve got a lot of ideas on how to improve the transition of care even further with our application, including plans to enhance communication between hospitals and primary care providers after a discharge. We also want to add features such as real-time, secure messaging, push notifications, and more.
