History
drchrono was founded in 2009 by Daniel Kivatinos and Michael Nusimow. drchrono is steadily gaining traction among doctors and patients since it was founded.
Technologies
drchrono is built on open source technologies including Linux, Python, MySQL, and Django.
The electronic medical record company has developed a new application for the device it claims is the first "wearable health record." Doctors who register for the drchrono app for Glass can use it to record a consultation or surgery with the patient's permission. Videos, photos and notes are stored in the patient's electronic medical record or in Box, a cloud-based storage and collaboration service and can be shared with the patient on request.
Activities
The company released the first tablet EHR system to be certified for meaningful use by Infogard Laboratories in June 2011.
In January 2012, the company announced a $2.8 million round of funding led by Russian tech mogul Yuri Milner.
drchrono, a physician-targeted EHR company, brought in a modest $2.9 million last year, but saw three-year growth rates up more than 1,834 percent.
Free Medical Search Engines
drchrono provides a number of free medical search engines: a medical icd-9 search engine, an electronic medical insurance search engine, and an iPhone ICD-9 search engine. They also offer a platform to ask questions about medical billing. Planned expansions to the search engines include releasing a DSM search engine.
