SharePractice Medical App Helps Doctors Advise the Best Treatments

— April 24, 2014 — Tech
SharePractice is a handy medical app designed to make it easy for doctors to consult with one another regarding the best medical treatments they've found.

The app was developed by Dr. Andrew Brandeis as a neatly organized system that was a step up from how he and a colleague in medical school used to share notes over Dropbox. In the development of SharePractice, Dr. Brandeis even referred to his many notes on Dropbox, but now the app is undoubtedly a better way to get at this information.

The SharePractice app is like a version of Yelp for doctors that shares thousands of crowdsourced non-FDA and FDA-approved treatments. Although the app is designed with doctors and other medical professionals in mind, as a patient it can't hurt to see what the consensus is on the best treatment for a particular ailment.
Trend Themes
1. Shared Expertise Medical Apps - The rise of medical apps that allow for easy consultation and the sharing of treatment information among healthcare professionals is opening up opportunities for more efficient and effective patient care.
2. Crowdsourced Medical Treatment Data - The crowdsourcing of non-FDA and FDA-approved treatments in medical apps like SharePractice is disrupting the traditional pharmaceutical industry and changing how healthcare professionals research and prescribe treatments.
3. Improved Collaboration and Data Sharing Among Healthcare Professionals - Medical apps like SharePractice are streamlining the process of collaboration and data sharing among healthcare professionals, leading to improved diagnoses, treatment plans, and patient outcomes.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare Technology - The healthcare technology industry is a key player in the development of medical apps like SharePractice, which provide healthcare professionals with new tools for collaboration and information sharing.
2. Pharmaceuticals - Pharmaceutical companies need to adapt to the rise of crowdsourced medical treatment data, or risk losing relevance in a market increasingly driven by data-driven and collaborative healthcare solutions.
3. Telemedicine - The growing emphasis on remote healthcare services and telemedicine is creating new opportunities for the development of medical apps like SharePractice, which can help healthcare professionals connect and collaborate virtually.
