A physician wants to help a patient track his blood pressure and lose weight...
The physician might give the patient pamphlets and other educational material, and suggest he start a blood pressure journal.
Unfortunately, these materials are often lost or forgotten, resulting in inconsistent treatment.
Physician time with patients continues to decrease, and studies show less than half of patients remember the discharge instructions given to them by their physician.
Meanwhile, mobile technology has become pervasive and widespread, creating many new options and tools for patient care and health management.
Physicians and patients need reputable and unbiased resources to leverage these apps and devices to improve care, compliance, and the patient physician relationship.

iPrescribeApps is created by the team that runs iMedicalApps. We are an independent team of physicians. We are proud to say iPrescribeApps is run exclusively by physicians, something that makes us unique in this space. There are no other stakeholders that could cause perverse apps to be selected.
For the initial providers that sign up to use the beta -- there will be no cost to you or your patients.
Unlike other platforms that have attempted to do this in the past, we don't make developers pay us to list their apps. We feel this has the potential to cause a conflict of interest. Plus, we want to list the apps we feel are the best -- and not limit our pool of apps. Apps are selected from the Apple App Store and Google Play store -- based on apps available in the United States.
We plan on launching iPrescribeApps in Q3 of this year.
No -- we won't share your information with your patients. Your patients will get an email or text message from iPrescribeApps. iPrescribeApps will spend the time to go over the app and how to use it in tutorials.
We want to effect change on a "populations" based level -- this is the underlying motivator. Healthcare is no longer about the next new million dollar gadget or newest davinci robot. With the cost to treat chronic diseases soaring, and with the lack of attention to preventative medicine -- we're tired of waiting for others to create platforms that will address these issues. We want to affect change on a larger level -- and we want providers who are interested in this goal as well.
