Sermo unveils medicine mobile app for physicians

 

Sermo, the online network in the United States
exclusive to physicians, introduced Sermo Mobile, an application that allows
physicians to access the country’s greatest concentration of medical knowledge
in real-time.

 

Sermo Mobile builds on Sermo’s current
web platform, an online resource where physicians from across 68 specialties
and all 50 states collaborate, discuss and consult with each other to provide
the highest quality care to their patients.

 

 

Sermo Mobile allows members quick and easy access to the
knowledge and expertise of leading PCPs and specialists throughout the country,
anytime, anywhere,” said Daniel Palestrant, MD, founder and CEO, Sermo.

 

Turning the concept of real-time medicine into reality
has been our vision for some time, and this technology allows physicians to
immediately impact patient care,” Palestrant added.

 

A key feature of Sermo Mobile is iConsult.
With three touches of the screen, physicians can take or add a photograph of a
physical finding, x-ray or laboratory result, choose a suitable question from
the list available and then immediately send it to relevant specialists in the
Sermo network. Members can view and respond in real time, offering unparalleled
access to shared medical expertise.

 

The ability to consult with my colleagues in real-time,
from the patient’s bedside or my exam room, addresses an unmet need and will be
of tremendous benefit, particularly for urgent clinical cases when I need an
immediate response,” said Christopher Y. Chang, MD, Fauquier ENT Consultants.

 

Similarly, the capacity to instantly post images and
explanations about a patient case and share this information with colleagues
through Sermo Mobile helps me provide the best care possible to my patients,”
Chang added.

 

Working in close collaboration with physicians across the
country, Sermo identified an increase in mobile use in clinical settings, and
the need for a mobile app to complement its online service.

 

Sermo Mobile is currently available for the iPhone, iPod
touch and iPad. A partner of Janssen Global Services, LLC, Sermo will continue
to develop and deliver additional real-time services that will help physicians
provide more efficient and enhanced care to their patients.
