drchrono started working in the medical billing space 2.5 years ago, the surprising thing is that all of this information is already out there. Medical billing condition/procedure codes that are electronically reported by 90% of doctor's o

Speech to text is one cool feature we are integrating now, but is still just one feature. Hospitals and doctor offices are two completely different markets with very different needs and scales. Speech to text doesn't address managing a doc

You bring up a really good point. Moving to electronic systems has both huge benefits and some risks that have to be mitigated. An example of a huge electronic benefit you can't get on paper charts is drug interactions. drchrono can autom

Several clinical studies have shown that patients will have better healthcare outcomes if their doctors make eye contact with them. One of the reasons I co-founded drchrono was because I went to a lot of doctor visits with my Father when h

Most US private practice healthcare providers (roughly 80%) practice in small groups of 1-5 physicians. That is our target market and still the way that the majority of personal healthcare is delivered in the US! There is a multi-billion d

Wait, interface builder isn't supposed to explode when you use it? We are releasing a new version of our iPad application roughly once a month and we are always working on making it better. I think we have a better UI than any other medica

Being on the iPad is a huge win since the Doctor won't have their back turned to the patient while using the system. The base EHR (Electronic Health Record) system is also FREE and a doctor can start using it right after downloading the fr

I was looking into getting this for my site. Truste is a non-profit. Does this look like something relevant? As a web consumer does it really make people feel more secure on a site? Are there other alternatives?
