A new mobile app has just been released for clinicians to download, allowing them to conduct patient assessments and track wound progress without the need of an internet connection.

Mobile PWS^TM (Polyremedy) has been launched for use offline and at patients' homes. The app allows clinicians to select appropriate wound dressings and keep patients' wound progress logged.

'We have designed Mobile PWS to meet the needs of the traveling caregiver,' said Jeffrey Tingle, software developer at Polyremedy. 'Users have the exact same look and feel with the mobile application as they do when working online. The information that they enter into Mobile PWS is automatically preserved in a HIPAA compliant (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, US), secure manner and once they get online a one-button sync process updates their data.'
