Industry recognised healthcare information technology leader, Caretools Inc, has announced its native digital medical record system for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch will become available tomorrow the 23rd July at Apple’s App Store. The announcement was issued by send2press.com.

The president of CareTools, Dr. Thomas Giannulli, said: “We recognized early on that iPhone has the potential to radically change the use of information technology at the most important patient/provider interface — the actual point-of-care. We believe iChart running natively on iPhone is a leapfrog product in terms of its functionality, ease of use and affordable price. Given the value that iChart offers, we are confident it will significantly stimulate the adoption of information technology by healthcare providers.”

Apparently, iChart has been designed to act as an electronic “personal medical assistant” and focuses on streamlining the daily chart, bill, and fill routine of every provider of healthcare.
iChart can be configured to sync data to the user’s iChart Sync online account where the data can be viewed, printed, and shared via web browser.

The iChart application can be downloaded wirelessly from Apple’s App Store at a cost of $499.00.
