eClinicalWorks has launched a patient engagement initiative aimed to improve communication channels between patients and healthcare providers. The company is investing an additional $25 million over the next 12 months to expand and update its patient engagement tools under its business unit Health & Online Wellness (healow).

The first product of this initiative, a free mobile app for patients, will be available for iOS and Android later this month. The healow app connects patients to their own and their families' EHRs, allowing access to personal medical records and facilitating two-way communications between providers and patients.

The patient mobile app will be available free later this month for iOS and Android at www.healow.com.
