Mark Van Der Westhuizen has developed mobile application software, called MediPlus , which can access medical records by using a patient’s or practitioner’s fingerprint.
“This is the first mobile medical application software system that has the ability to link everyone and every segment in the medical industry together,” said Mark.
“MediPlus will enable medical practitioners, health specialists, physicians, pharmacists, medical and emergency assistants, and patients to have immediate access to important medical information at any time, with the use of the fingerprint medical software,”
MediPlus is envisioned to allow health practitioners to bill medical aid and health insurance companies for consultation and medical fees. The app will also have specialized modules for appointment diaries, patient consultations, patient overviews, an ICD-10 Code dictionary, med pages, patient results, chronicle illness benefits and generics dictionaries.
The app is also envisioned to increase efficiencies by replacing paper forms. “When visiting healthcare facilities, patients using the MediPlus app will be able to bypass filling out long medical forms. Instead they will be identified by simply scanning their fingerprints,” said Mark.
Medical practitioners and experts will also be able to remotely access continual professional development courses and materials on the MediPlus app to obtain their compulsory ethics points annually. “This software for medical practitioners is a revolutionary step in caring for our health and loved ones,” said Mark.
