iphone video accessory: Owle



Imagine a bracket into which you could snap your iphone.
The bracket would help you hold the camera steady, add accessory lenses, a boom microphone, video light and possibly a camera facing you.

The iphone could then be used to video presentations, procedures and even video conference!

Check out the videos.
How would this help you in your practice and family life? SV

iPhone AirStrip OB real time data access


AirStrip Technologies, a pioneer in mobile medical software applications, today announced that it has received FDA clearance to release the AirStrip OB™ application for use on the iPhone, and that the application is now available for download to qualified physicians at Apple's App Store.

AirStrip OB allows obstetricians to use their iPhones to remotely access virtual real-time and historical waveform data for both the mother and baby, including heart tracings and contraction patterns, as well as nursing notes and exam status. The data is sent directly from hospitals' labor and delivery units and can be accessed on the iPhone anytime, anywhere the doctor gets a cell-phone connection.

MEDENT Mobile iPhone application

As an EHR based physician of several years, I must recommend this to current Allscripts users.

I usually carry my 1 kilogram Fujitsu laptop with a Verizon 3G modem. This give me direct access to the office EHR.
The iPhone has made this unnecessary for the procedures listed below!

Give it a spin and let us know what you think. SV



MEDENT Mobile is a user-friendly, web-based interface designed to access MEDENT on the Apple iPhone. It is used within the Safari web browser that comes standard on the iPhone and can be used anywhere you can get internet coverage, including Wi-Fi or 3G/Edge.
