drawMD launches iPad imaging tool

drawMD has released an iPad application developed by urologic surgeons, which allows physicians to use interactive imagery to illustrate and describe treatment options for medical conditions.

By using the iPad application interface, physicians and patients can sketch, stamp or type on top of detailed anatomic images to better understand and explain complex medical topics.

The images included in drawMD provide the ability for doctors to illustrate diagnoses, treatment plans and urologic surgical procedures such as ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Physicians can email completed illustrations to their patients and use those illustrations as documentation in their medical records, according to the Seattle-based provider of interactive visual guide software.
