17 Mar Epic to develop Apple Watch app, ‘Limerick,’ a test results notifier
The app enables doctors to receive alerts via Apple Watch so if they are waiting on test results about one patient, that physician can know immediately.
Electronic health record giant Epic is working on an app for Apple’s Watch, according to CEO Judy Faulkner.
“Limerick on the Apple Watch,” she called it.
The app enables doctors to receive alerts via Apple Watch so if they are waiting on test results about one patient, that physician can know immediately when those come through regardless of where in the health system doctor and patient are at the time, Faulkner said.
Duke Medicine, Ochsner Health System and Stanford University School of Medicine have been using Apple HealthKit and Watch integrated with Epic’s EHR in different capacities.
