This is a great article (thanks for it!), but it would sure be nice (in mid-2020) to see an update to this study.

Backup important data on mobile devices is very important. One of the best possible applications for this is probably Titanium Backup Pro. This application will work very well for Rooted Android devices. You will be surprised by Titanium Backup Pro APK Full offers. I also have a link to download it here, you can refer and instructions before downloading and using it.

In reply to Adrian Gropper, MD. Good Adrian. No one can own this data except the patient because we have piles of evidence upon evidence ad infinitum that no one can protect the data’s security and thus, the patient has to own his own data. Even here it is going to be a difficult job, but at least the patient is not inclined to sell his data and he will have the legal tools to do the best job of protection possible.

This report is a really skewed view of medicine through the eyes of vendors and hospitals as opposed to patients and clinicians. It’s the HIMSS view of the world, where the physician can’t prescribe and the patient can’t buy _anything_. Is all of healthcare IT, including EMR and AI, destined to turn people into feedstock?

Matthew, Olivia & Kim,

Thank you! This is really good stuff. I applaud your efforts to “shine the light”.

The strategic decision to create a truly open API and sharing process can be a difficult one for any company. Facebook and Apple’s top management struggled with this decision over a decade ago; in hindsight, it was a no-brainer decision as their APIs enhanced the overall capabilities of their platforms and left competitors in the dust. Today Apple (and Android) have 2 million+ apps in their app stores.

Your report documents that almost all the EHR vendors aren’t “there” yet…even while some progress is being made. The apps of 3rd party vendors hold tremendous potential to improve patient care and level the EHR playing field. Your report provides insights that we’ve never before seen.
