Pocketweb launches promising medical technology project

Berlin, Germany (14th December 2013) -
For chronically ill patients frequent consultations with the doctor are often inevitable, especially when it comes to monitoring the course of the disease in order to react in time when the patients state gets worse. This comes along with extra efforts that impair the patient even more. Pocketweb now develops an app and backend for an internationally acting provider for medical rapid tests, that allows the patients to perform the test on their own and subsequently evaluate it using the integrated camera of their smartphone. A personal history makes it easy to discover tendencies in the course of the disease and react in time.

Fundamental parts of this are the test devices on the one hand, but also the app itself. It guides the user step by step through the preparation, the execution and the evaluation of the test and interprets the results of the test with the built in camera. Also there is a powerful backend, that connects the different components and guarantees the safe transaction and storage of the sensitive patient data using latest encryption technologies.
A first version of the app will probably be presented on fairs and conferences in February of 2014.
