drawMD iPad® Application Launches Interactive Imaging Tool to Enhance Doctor-Patient Communications

New iPad Application designed to improve patient care through greater visualization of complex medical issues and treatment options


Seattle, Wash. (May 5, 2011) - drawMD today announced the launch of a new iPad Application, developed by leading urologic surgeons, which allows physicians to use detailed interactive imagery to illustrate and describe treatment options for medical conditions. By using the unique iPad Application interface, doctors and patients can sketch, stamp or type on top of detailed anatomic images to better understand and explain complex medical topics.


The images included in drawMD provide the ability for doctors to illustrate diagnoses, treatment plans, and urologic surgical procedures such as ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Physicians can easily e-mail completed illustrations to their patients and use those illustrations as documentation in their medical records.


"This app lets patients have a visual guide and deeper understanding of their diagnosis and treatment options," said Dr. Todd Morgan and Dr. Alexander Kutikov, co-founders of drawMD and UrologyMatch.com, a leading internet resource for urology trainees. "The drawMD application gives users the ability to reduce doctor-patient communication barriers by offering a new paradigm for explaining complex problems to patients - and even other physicians."


The drawMD Urology iPad® Application, which may be downloaded for free at www.drawMD.com or the iTunes® App store, is sponsored exclusively by Boston Scientific. The Company's Urology and Women's Health Division provides products that treat kidney stones, bladder stones, urethral strictures and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); as well as solutions that treat incontinence, pelvic floor disorders and excessive menstrual bleeding.


"Boston Scientific is proud to sponsor innovative solutions that optimize patient care," said Evan Brasington, Vice President of Marketing, Urology/Women's Health for Boston Scientific. "The drawMD app has the potential to improve doctor-patient interaction by enhancing communication and understanding of complex medical issues."
