The Hipmed suite connects patients to physicians through remote consultations, using advanced sensing algorithms and standard smartphone technology to detect vital statistics and send them securely to the physician. By replicating the effectiveness of a physical examination, Hipmed aims to make medical consultation in disadvantaged communities more effective. Their goal is to bridge the gap between first-response diagnostic processes and long-term healthcare by utilizing the power of smartphones, which can function as self-contained clinics with their array of sensors and computing capabilities.
