This exciting partnership will also be instrumental in giving us access to new markets beyond clinical trials with hospitals and care teams where Medopad has forged strong relationships”, says Michael Petersen, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Information Mediary Corp.
With Medopad, patients have one app to access for sharing health data, accessing information about their conditions and connecting to their care teams.

Doctors can configure the Medopad app for patients in minutes to create condition-specific apps for patients and their connected devices to share information.
