Stitch, a messaging app for healthcare providers, plans to disrupt the healthcare communication industry, according to TechCrunch.
Here are five things to know:
1. Stitch centers around patients, with channels notifying patients' check-in times, symptoms and diagnoses.
2. Through Stitch, healthcare providers can share information like test results on the individual patient's channel.
3. HIPAA compliant, Stitch uses information from electronic health records.
4. Stitch addresses the problem of miscommunication among healthcare providers, as patients go through the system and see different nurses and physicians.
5. The app records every step of a patient's process, so each new provider helping the patient won't miss any key elements.
