AirStrip Technologies is creating a medical iPhone app that delivers vital data for Obstetricians who deliver babies, directly to iPhone or iPod touch devices including patient medical information. The iPhone app works in conjunction with the AirStrip OB system installed by the hospital. FDA has approved the AirStrip OB iPhone application and AirStrip OB is now available in the App Store.

An estimated 98,000 deaths in the U.S. occur annually due to medical errors, a majority due to poor communication. Preventable healthcare related errors cost the U.S. economy $17 to $29 billion each year. AirStrip aims to change that. Through the application, doctors are able to remotely access data on the mother and child, including heart rate and contraction patterns as well as notes and exam results. In order for doctors to use the application, a hospital must first buy the AirStrip system, which works with the hospital’s existing patient-monitoring.

This 3rd Party App is available at the Apple iTunes AppStore. Browse the full list of all AppStore apps filed under the AppStore category.
