Medicine And Mobiles – The Ovi EHR Concept

On my ongoing conquest of exploring different practical aspects and bridging the gap between Medicine and Mobiles, I have realized that there is a lot of work to be done. Although there are Medical Apps in the market that will benefit the end user (Doctor and/or Patient) but their contribution to our society in terms of data gathering and analysis is zero.
