Information intermediaries are taking NHS information opened up through simple syndication feeds and adding value as innovative tools and apps.A good example is the “Wellnote by Dr Darzi” app.
Wellnote takes directories of services from NHS Choices and uses GPS technology to help find hospitals, GPs, dentists, pharmacies, walk in centres and sexual health services. Users can also see user ratings of services. Wellnote also has the functionality for people to store their own personal health details, including medication drawn from a database of over 2,000 commonly used medicines.
Personal details can be emailed to self or health professional, and reminders set for appointments.
