"We recognized early on that iPhone has the potential to radically change
the use of information technology at the most important patient/provider
interface -- the actual point-of-care," said Dr. Thomas Giannulli, President,
CareTools. "We believe iChart running natively on iPhone is a leapfrog
product in terms of its functionality, ease of use and affordable price.
Given the value that iChart offers, we are confident it will significantly
stimulate the adoption of information technology by healthcare providers."

assistant" and focuses on streamlining the daily "chart, bill and fill"
routine of every healthcare provider. iChart leverages the advanced
capabilities of iPhone and iPod touch to warehouse patient data, and images,

technology and iChart allows a single provider or entire healthcare network to
automate medical data capture and effortlessly look-up patient related
information using an efficiently designed "touch and tap" interface.
