For far too long, the healthcare industry has been woefully far behind the technological boom of the last two decades. While those in the ivory towers of the extremely well-endowed research centers of the world have been able to take advantage of cutting edge advances, the typical inclusive effect of technology on the average consumer has not yet been received by healthcare consumers. Essentially, while data is being manipulated by facebook to show you that cool new product you didn’t know you were dying to buy, there are literally millions of people globally for whom the same innovations could mean lives saved. We at PlainDoc believe that it is time for this trend of subpar healthcare personalization to be transformed forever.
Our responsibility as the future builders, thinkers, and programmers of the world is to do the greatest possible good for the greatest number of people. Technology is already being optimized and implemented in a myriad of other applications, but quality consumer health software has lagged behind. Making medical care accessible and personal again is consistently cited as the most important initiative for public health campaigns and this app is the secret. By breaking down common medical barriers our software has the potential to drastically increase the quality of life and likelihood of effective treatments being undertaken for the 88% of Americans who lack health proficiency today.
