AMDIS: Spotlight on iBlue Button

iBlue Button is a mobile longitudinal health record available at every point of care, said Bettina Experton, MD, MPH, CEO of Humetrix, speaking at the AMDIS 22nd Annual Physician-Computer Connection Symposium in Ojai, Calif.

It's also a consumer-mediated exchange that lets patients aggregate, use and share their own information. Experton also discussed the launch of a Blue Button national campaign and wondered whether physicians will take the lead.
