From Joyce Graff:
I received this advertisement in my email today. (I’m on a distribution list for radiologists.)
I couldn’t help noticing that Siemens in its advertisement is stressing how this mobile app could help doctors involve patients more closely! I think that’s a very positive symptom that doctors are WANTING to involve the patients more these days. I hope this will be one of many such applications, part of a healthy trend.
I should point out too that this solves one problem for a doctor who wants to access the known set of images available to his or her own computer account from a mobile device. What it does NOT solve is the ability to move images from one hospital to another. There is work toward that goal too, but this is not it.
The following is a copy of an advertisement from Siemens (no payment was received by Powerful Patient):
—-
Whether it is about saving time to access images, or about collaboration or patient involvement, syngo.via WebViewer is the tool of choice.
