Meddapp - Your health at your fingertips

Meddapp - Your health at your fingertips

Your most important information you have is your health information for you and any doctor or healthcare professional to use for your care.

It has to be complete and ordered in a way that makes sense and confidential.

MeddApp is an app that brings you and healthcare professionals together to easily view and record all information in a way that can be used in a consultation, wherever you are in the world. MeddApp is a bundle of 3 apps:

Meddrecord – a personal medical record and you can order a Meddcard

MeddApp - HIMS – for healthcare professionals to manage their daily workload

MeddApp - PACS – the picture archiving and communication system to view all x-rays and scans

MeddApp downloads to your mobile to create a Meddrecord, a Medical Record that you control. You can:

Add symptoms and record when they started and if they have stopped

Take pictures to add to symptoms e.g. add a mole and take a picture of that mole

Add your conditions and diagnoses such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol diabetes

Ask for a specialist opinion and book an appointment with a doctor to view your symptoms

Record allergies you may have

Record your social history and care needs

Log your diet requirements

Record your current and past medications

Record and track your blood pressure readings

Record your blood sugar values

Record your cholesterol and lipid profile

Record your liver function tests

Record your family history

Record your vaccinations given and due

View referrals from your GP to specialist and view the outcome when ready

Upload and view scanned reports of your paper medical histories

The information recorded about you is important to your health and includes:

Your date of birth to check how old you are, identify you, and check when you record your symptoms starting you don’t start them before you were born for example!! How old you are when a symptom starts can change a diagnosis – a young person only very rarely gets heart pain in the chest but an older person who smokes is more likely

Gender – obviously some conditions affect only females or males and so MeddApp needs to know this

Meddcard – when you have a Meddrecord you can also order a MeddCard that has a unique code for you to allow your Meddrecord to be quickly searched by a healthcare professional looking after you

MeddApp - HIMS has a desktop and mobile version and allows a healthcare professional (doctor, nurse, or professional allied to medicine) to:

Search for a patient’s Meddrecord

See their daily schedule and manage clinics

Make and view referrals and set up contracts to link general practices to specialists for sending referrals

View inpatients, they are looking after and recording information on ward rounds

Request laboratory and x-ray investigations

Manage patient accounts

Meddapp is constantly updated and future versions will allow you to view educational videos, have real-time video consultations, have reminders to take medications and order prescriptions.
