How and Why to Develop a Mobile Healthcare App[1]

2. Medical database software

Similarly to Electronic Health Record software, medical database software stores patients’ histories and treatment plans. However, unlike in EHRs, the database is categorized by disease, not patients’ profiles.
Medical database software helps doctors in two key areas:

• 
  Making better treatment decisions by cross-referencing a patient’s case with similar cases.
  
• 
  Educating themselves by reviewing clinical cases of a given disease.
  

A dermatologist can, for example, use this type of software to browse all patients diagnosed with Atopic Dermatitis and compare their symptoms, treatments, and recovery plans.
