DocComs: The future of medical communications

A safe, secure and NHS approved mobile communication application for the healthcare professional.

Providing the tools for better and safer patient care.

DocComs is intuitive, easy to use with seamless communications allowing patient discussions, instant messaging, calling and push notifications.

Solving the Healthcare data sharing problem

The benefits of mobile messaging for healthcare providers have been widely demonstrated to include: speed of decision making, collaborative patient decisions giving a higher standard of healthcare and improved efficiency in working.

At present healthcare workers are reliant upon mainstream applications such as Whatsapp or Facebook messenger.

Generic messaging solutions fail to provide the security that healthcare data deserves. Sensitive images are mixed with personal photos and confidential patient information is unsecured amongst personal messages or even displayed on phone screens with push notifications. Patient data is being put at risk, whilst healthcare professionals are liable to regulatory fines.

Patient data is lost as medical decisions made using chat services and are not recorded in medical/patient notes. Informative conversations regarding treatment and hospital logistics fail to provide learning, development or research opportunities.
