Mobile apps for tablets and smartphones are rapidly transforming how clinics and hospitals conduct business, treat patients, and provide post-op therapy and follow ups. A challenge has arisen with apps, though, that pits ease of use against privacy and security considerations. Hospitals want to control access to software used by their clinicians and patients while keeping usability painless and intuitive for everyone involved.
Happtique is a new company that is offering healthcare facilities the ability to have their own branded app stores that can be designed specifically for clinicians and patients at each facility. Access can be granted and revoked as patients come and go, and employees that no longer work at the clinic automatically lose their permissions. Happtique is currently running a beta trial of the system at a few East Coast hospitals.
